Arabeth Raurym

Arabeth Raurym was an Overwizard of the Host Tower of the Arcane and Master of the South Tower, responsible for the Brotherhoods operations in the southern quadrant of Faerûn. She was also the eldest daughter of Elastul Raurym, Marchion of Mirabar.

Physical Description
Arabeth was of average height and build. Her best feature was her long mane of reddish-brown hair that grew down to her waist. She favoured practical clothing with plenty of storage spaces for her spell components, when travelling to the southern lands she usually adopted garb that reflected the culture of her destination, to be less conspicuous.

History
Although born into high station as the daughter of Elastul Raurym in 1345 DR, Arabeth has loathed her parents since she was a young child when it became clear to her that she would be packed off to marry some noble dolt, in order to secure her family more land and wealth. At first her 'acts of rebellion' were seen by her parents as typical of her age and temperament, it was only when her acts became criminal that they became truly concerned. Arabeth spent considerable time in the less appealing section of Mirabar, running with a gang of youths involved in burglary, fencing stolen goods, and worse.

Much to Arabeth's pleasure, her powers as a Sorcerer began to manifest in 1359 DR at the age of 14. She took great delight in sowing disharmony and strife in the household with her sorcery. By 16, she was shipped off to Waterdeep by her parents, who hoped a wizard cousin of theirs could tame their wild girl. However Arabeth's cousin encouraged her defiance and helped the young girl to master her sorcerous powers. When Arabeth turned 18, her father sent word that she was to return home to be married to a young noblemen they had selected for her. Returning to Mirabar she pretended to behave until the day of the wedding where she took savage glee in wrecking the ceremony with a barrage of magic. She then spent the next year on the run from her father's hired soldiers until she reached Luskan and made a place for herself among the Arcane Brotherhood in 1363 DR.

Arabeth's invlovement withe the Arcane Brotherhood has been an acute embarressment to her family ever since she joined. News of her elevation to Overwizard has only rubbed salt in their wounds.
