Overview
I’m Caeda Strifelamedion, a Shadar-Kai who follows Inatia. I don’t fully understand why she chose me, but I know my goal: to restore the cycle of death by any means necessary. My ancestors’ past influences me, and I’m bound to a greater purpose, despite not having all the answers yet.
Early Life
My early memories are unclear, like fragments of dreams. I don’t remember much, but I know I came from Elanor, where I studied and trained. People like Thalor, Liora, and Elara were once important to me, but now they feel distant, like pieces of a forgotten story.
Becoming an Illrigger changed me. I became faster, more charming, and agile. These new strengths have shaped my journey since then.
Defining Events
Losing my memories was a big turning point, but the powers I gained from becoming an Illrigger gave me a sense of direction. I started exploring new places and solving mysteries, hoping to figure out who I am and where I fit in this world.
During my time in Knightveil, I met River, an individual who also lost his memory. While we share similar struggles, he remains just a connection for now, and I’m not sure where our paths will lead. It was comforting to know someone who understands this burden, but I continue to seek my own answers.
At some point, I had a vision that I needed to follow Inatia, but her presence is still a mystery to me. I feel like my past and future are both pulling me forward, even if I don’t fully understand the path.
Short-term, I seek to unearth the hidden fragments of my past, piecing together the mystery of my identity and the force, possibly Inatia, guiding me. Long-term, my burning ambition is to uncover the truth behind the enigmatic voice that calls to me and understand why she chose me as her vessel. This quest for answers propels me forward, step by step, as I seek to decipher the ancient prophecies and unravel the mysteries of the Illriggers, ultimately reclaiming the lost fragments of my own identity. In a world at peace, my heart would yearn to rebuild bridges with the Blight Elf kin, mending ancestral rifts.
Relationships
Caelum and Lyria, pivotal figures from my post-amnesia chapter, are not with me currently. Caelum, a fellow Illrigger I once journeyed with, shared my quest for purpose and clarity, and his insights still resonate with me. Lyria, a mystic from Arda, provided glimpses beyond my fractured memories. Though physically distant, the impact of their guidance and the memories of our shared moments remain, shaping my path forward.Over time, I’ve forged meaningful connections with others, though not without loss. Marina, a close companion, passed away, leaving a gap that still weighs on me. Dunnage, a cunning human I once trusted, has since left us. Despite these setbacks, I’ve formed new bonds that guide me forward.
Leokas, another trusted companion, adds balance to our journey with his calm perspective.
Flaws
Since the onset of my amnesia, in a town within Unified Caldar, I encountered a distressed woman named Lysa, clutching a pendant eerily similar to one I possessed. Mistaking her plea as a deceptive fragment of my scattered memories, I dismissed her. Later, I learned she sought aid for her ailing child, believing our matching pendants signified a shared fate. My oversight, grounded in my struggle to discern reality from forgotten memories, remains a deep-seated regret.
