Rueth Daelvael

The Myth
For years, there have been influential individuals across the nations, slain by a woman- a woman given a name by her many targets' allies, each varying- Whisperless Spirit from the royal guardians of the emperor of Minkai in Tian, She who dances in twilight, by a tribal leader in the Mwangi Expanse, Silkwind by a priestess whose mentor was slain in the River Kingdoms, Goldleaf for services rendered by the previous queen of Kyonin, and many others. The myth traveled, the names changed, but they had a core.

This woman always appeared, all business, with a look of regret in her eyes, and executed her quarry- her speed was unassailable, and she struck with two daggers, one inscribed with golden, magical runes, the other glowed white-yellow. Her blows found critical points in armor, deflected magical power, and were used oh so skillfully. She was known to be beautiful but her enigmatic method of operation stayed the actions of any but those who would cause her harm.

The woman
Born in the city of Ambervale to the lady Vhenadahl Daelvael, an influential tradeswoman. She was given much in her youth but always exhibited a certain oddity, and as she grew she snuck off regularly, dodging her studies and going out to explore. One day, she found a nook within a large tree in the feywood to the west of Ambervale, and she climbed into it. She suddenly found herself within a strange white-wash realm, with a simple hooded woman standing before her, who she spoke with. None but her and one other ever found out what she was tasked with, and from that day forth she began to do amazing things, she trained to fight in the underground arena- and always won- for she was able to travel the entire length of the ring in an instant, crush foes with strange motions and other things.
