Marlin Silverwind is a talented bard with a voice that can charm even the most stubborn of hearts. She was born in the Silver Dominion to a lowborn family. From a young age, Marlin showed an interest in music, particularly in the magical aspect of bardic arts. As she grew older, Marlin honed her skills and became a renowned bard, with a repertoire of enchanting songs and melodies. She became particularly interested in the art of arcane singing, and learned how to use her voice to cast spells and manipulate emotions.
However, her music caught the attention of the Church who saw her musical performances become increasingly controversial. Many of her songs included the Silver Prince and his angels, which was deemed heretical by the Church. Along with her husband Konrad, Marlin decided to leave the Silver Dominion and flee across the Ironbane Mountains. After a long and treacherous journey, they arrived in Vikholm and settled in the capital city of Vikstorm. Together, they opened the Silver Harp, a tavern and entertainment venue that quickly became a popular hotspot for bards and entertainers.
Marlin's magical singing quickly became a highlight of the Silver Harp's performances, with her enchanting voice captivating the crowds and leaving them spellbound. She also began to teach her magical singing techniques to a select few, passing on her knowledge and skills to the next generation of bards. Despite the dangers they faced in the Silver Dominion, Marlin never lost her love for music and magic. She continues to perform and teach at the Silver Harp, sharing her passion and talents with all who come to listen.
