Phalda was born to human and elven parents. Her mother Nillelianna Phadeli worked within the Nexian government supporting refugees escaping undead violence, while her father Eron Phadeli had spent his life dedicated to service as a a Paladin of Shelyn. So dedicated was he in her service, that their line was touched by angelic grace, blessing the parents with an Aasimar child.
She was raised in Nex, a city of magic at constant war with its neighbor kingdom of the undead, Geb, where she first came into contact with the Voices of the Spire. Over the years, seeing the struggle of the living against the unrelenting armies of the dead, she chose to take on their legions by joining the Voices. Under the tutelage of her mentor Master Phade, she has become a dedicated cleric of Pharasma, vowing to use her angelic power to end the undead scourge wherever she comes across it.
