Keyla is a tiefling orphan who at a young age was forced to take part in a demonic ritual that did not work. Because she was born damned, she would instead absorb the magical energy and make it her own power. As time went on she would learn to be a magus. Taking to the sword and spell almost naturally until she found it, the black blade. She would weild it on adventure after adventure, until eventually it lead her back to where she started, the Worldwound.

For a few years after the incident Keyla would find herself as a slave to the cult while they tried to find out how to use the girl to their advantage. They'd have no such luck though as she would escape from their clutches! Grabbing what she could to survive as she left!

Or her own now she would venture forth into the wilderness. Away from the humanoids that sought to use her for nefarious means! She would learn the region like the back of her hand, venturing out into the Wound on her own.

She would do what she could to survive, wielding sword and bow in order to get food or to fend off the demons of the Wound. Now and then fighting off rowdy demons or cultist to remain free! Eventually one of those demons would land her a world of hurt, leaving her for dead.

It was then that he happened upon her. A lost Crusader who'd been fighting the demons for months. The Crusader would nurse her back to health, helping her heal the wounds the demons had dealt her. Once she was back to full strength he would offer to train her, sensing her power, in the art of being a magus.

He'd train her, and the pair would fight side by side freeing those that they found in camps to be used as food or chattel. She took to the training well, and during one of their incursions into one of the camps, she found it. A longsword of the purest of blacks, calling to her. Grasping it with her hand, she could feel it's power attune to her! When the pair was finished there, he would explain to her what she had found.

Their moves would continue, freeing captives as they can and finding out information on the Wound itself. Gathering intelligence in hopes that eventually one of them would eventually make it back with what they have learned. For the Crusader though that was not meant to be, for upon finally towards civilization the pair were ambushed. Him being delt a mortal blow, helped Keyla fend off the assailants, then begged Keyla to return back to civilization with thier information. Then he asked her to take proof of his having still been alive back to his people.

Black blade is named Drakar.
