Family History - Aalnethe and Lethian loved one another against the wishes of the Margaster Patriach. The defiance of Aalnethe and her pregnancy infuriated the Margaster, who demonstrated his disapproval and wrath by having Lethian killed. For the dishonor done the family name, and the ruination of his plans for her marraige, the Patriarch disowned her, and sold her into slavery. While enroute to the slaver's auction block, Aalnethe escaped with the assistance of Gwenevyre Silkenharp [NG, Grey Elf, female, Bard (10)] and Mirth [CG, Grey Elf, male, Fighter/Mage/Thief (4/3/4)], both friends of Lethian Nightstar. Gwenevyre hid the Daughter of Margaster at New Olamn, a bardic colleges, occupying the site of former mountaintop villas on Mount Waterdeep. After the birth of Dawn Tier'Rueh, Aalnethe commissioned a legitimate birth scroll attesting to the nobility of her daughter's bloodline. Witnesses for the birth scroll included Raulauven [Raulauventhos (LN, Old Steel Dragon)], a silver-haired old sage and teacher of ancient history at New Olamn, and Xu Fu Chen (LN,HM,0lvl) an exiled Shou scholar and worshipper at Oghma's temple. Upon completion of the birth scroll, Aalnethe cast herself from the heights of Mount Waterdeep, leaving Dawn Tier'Rueh in the care of Gwenevyre and Mirth.
