| Lorien |
Lorien was born in the North-West
Valley City of the nation of Arcadia, the youngest daughter of Peytar and Maryne
Cosgrove. Her mother died when she was two years old, her father when she was twenty. She has one older sister, Ava. Ava and Lorien were then raised by a nursemaid, Estia.
When Lorien was eighteen, she began a courtship with Warder Bellamy, a colleague of her father's at the Scholars' Guild. She quickly fell in love with the quiet, gentle man. They married when she was nineteen. Their marriage was very happy. Shortly before her father's death, they found out they were expecting theri first child. Lorien was thrilled. When she was six months along, though, she was devastated when her beloved sister Ava was sent away to become a Tribute Bride to the Wildlands.
Overall, Lorien was considered an ideal Arcadian woman. Small and slender, delicate of feature, she's also ideally soft and gentle in demeanour. Her one major flaw was kept hidden in the bedroom. Though women are not supposed to feel physical desire, Lorien has experienced several paroxysms in her time with Warder. Being a loving husband, he did not censure or judge her for them. However, Lorien loses all of her respect and standing in Arcadia when she contracts Sweating Sickness while pregnant, and gives birth to a stillborn boy. Warder dies just hours after hearing of his son's death, Estia a day later.
A month after the deaths, Lorien is discovered in the forest outside of the Circle of the NorthWest Wood. She's exhausted, half-starved, and emotionally distraught. The newly-formed Clan of Gevaril, Tomis, and Cale bring her back to the Circle, where she can be nursed back to health.
But it will not prove to be so simple. There is a Darkness that feeds upon a broken heart, and it will take the impossible to heal her....
