Backstory

Over 100 years ago, before the Hadarian Crisis Morwen and Lyra's parents were adventurers. Long before they met, thinking they'd never find love, they both individually promised their firstborn to their patrons. William promised his Firstborn to a Celestial (unknown who, but some suspect the Raven Queen), Sarah to a Devil (unknown who). Was it just random chance? Fate? Or an intervention by the gods that these Warlocks met? Whatever it was, the met on numerous wild adventures and fell in love. And from that love came not one, but two firstborns. Twins. A little pink girl with horns, and little girl with raven black wings.

The Twins grew up in Torrica, their parents having retired from adventuring. But after the destruction of Torrica their parents, heeding the call for a battle against the ultimate evil, sent them to Stormhaven with the other refugees, promising to meet up with them after the battle against Hadar.  Upon arrival at Stormhaven the twins waited, and waited. News of the battle and Bimarat's victory spread, and the names of fallen heroes came out. To the twins' dismay, their parents' names were among them. The city guard brought them to the orphanage. The head mistress was a cruel woman who beat the children regularly and often without cause. To escape their fate, the Twins fled the orphanage as a fire broke out. They made living on the streets. Lyra would trick and distract unsuspecting victims or attempt to scam them out of their money. Meanwhile, Morwen would pickpocket and steal. After years of evading the local law, they were sold out by the Thieves’ Guild who saw them as unaligned competitors. It was at their lowest point, imprisoned, that the twins met the Grand Mother.

The Grand Mother bailed them out and raised them. Thought them how to stand on their own, and how to harness the power of magic. But to achieve immortality, they required more power, more magic, even more than the twins inherently had. So the Grand Mother offered to set introduce the Twins to powerful individuals who could provide this magic. Lyra was introduced to Baba Yaga, "Mother of All Witches, Queen of the Hags" the Archfey who lives in the swamps of the Feywild, she took Lyra on as her patron at Grand Mothers request. Who Morwen was introduced to we do not yet know...

Morwens powers once came from a pact with Umbraxis, the Dreadlady of the Shadowfell, and now the Raven Queen granting her command over the shadowfells necrotic magic. Morwen's aloof and withdrawn nature belies her lawful neutral alignment and her ability to sense and exploit hidden fears.

Early in the year 605 Lyra was killed by unbound adventurers. They found her phylactery and managed to destroy it. Allowing them to kill her. Upon finding her sisters body, a grieving Morwen vows vengeance upon all unbound. What followed was a bloodbath, where Morwen systematically hunted down and killed adventurers.

A few months later, Morwen was visited by adventurers and a celestial named Razeal (the Warlock patron of one of the adventurers: Valentine). They brought an offer before Morwen: If she were to side with the adventurers against Umbraxis, the Raven Queen would bring back her dead sister.

Morwen agreed, and in the battles that followed, Umbraxis was dethroned and killed. As promised, Lyra was brought back to life by the Raven Queen.
