Kiratha

Kiratha, though she preferred Kira, was an elf wizard, former acolyte of Tymora, and adventurer in Daggerford on the Sword Coast in the mid-to-late 14 century DR.

Relationships
Kiratha was the great-granddaughter of Elorfindar Floshin and the daughter of Alorel Torandrar and Nynendra Mrauthae, so she had both gold elf and moon elf blood in her veins. Her younger sister was Rilathra.

History
Kiratha was born in the to a family dwelling in the forests of the Delimbiyr Vale. However, her father Alorel, consumed with rage and vengeance over the murder of his own father and the loss of his arm, was abusive to his family, often beating them and leaving them for dead. In the summer of the, Kiratha finally ran away but Alorel hunted her down and caught her, and seemed set to kill her when her mother Nynendra intervened after she'd followed in secret. Nynendra confronted and fought with Alorel and Kiratha got away, while her mother was seemingly defeated and killed behind her (in fact, after Alorel ran into the High Forest, never to be seen again, Rilathra saved Nynendra and the pair fled east).

Brokenhearted and believing her mother had been murdered by her father, Kiratha wandered the Sword Coast and its cities. She took work as a caravan guard, though at first she was only accepted because the human guards had amorous intentions for the attractive elf). Later, she served as an assistant to human wizards and even became an adventurer in one or another adventuring party. But she eventually grew weary of the life of violence, deceit, and ambition she saw in many of her fellow adventurers, and gave it up.

Thus, finally, Kiratha went to Daggerford in search of her family; she knew she had kin there, even if they were her father's. But no word of her mother and sister had come to Daggerford. Finding her great-grandfather Sir Elorfindar, she began training as a mage, learning from the mages serving him and even acquiring spells from his spellbook.

By the late 1350s DR, Kira was also an acolyte at Fairfortune Hall, the shrine of Tymora in Daggerford, serving under Bando the Lame. She was his favorite acolyte and, when she joined the faith, he gifted her with dice that she would always keep with her.

Circa 1359 DR, however, Kira was again living the life of an adventurer. She was with Maelwyn's adventuring company for some years, alongside Aswansea, Cork, and Garth. She saved the group on many occasions with her spells and was likely the real reason they survived in the wilds.

By 1370 DR, Kira was a seasoned and respected mage of Daggerford.

Abilities
As a young mage, she knew the spells feather fall, jump, magic missile, and shield. In addition to her arcane magic, Kira was trained in the use of staff and mace.

Residence
Circa 1370 DR, her house was located along Rogar Alley in western Daggerford near the Caravan Gate.

Background
Kira began as a pre-generated character for use by starting players in Under Illefarn. She was later adapted and advanced as non-player character in The North: Guide to the Savage Frontier, and was expanded on by Ed Greenwood on the Candlekeep forum, seen here.
