    Life Story
    Merlyn's birth was set with a precedent of disobeying. After all, her mother was a Vladno immigrant (or perhaps more accurately called an escapist), who met her husband, a New Regalian man working on contract in Etosil. They soon eloped to the Holy City, however, upon her first pregnancy, they made haste to move to Calemberg, Merlyn's father inheriting a small house. Thus began the family, and eventually, born 274 AC in Calemberg as the fifth girl to a pair of devout Dogartan Unionist parents, Merlyn’s life began. Albeit practically in squalor, thanks to the sheer number of people living as ascetically as possible. They rejected the inner city as being overly materialistic, and instead hugged the edge of the city walls in a downtrodden, poorly taken care of house.

    Her mother, however far away from Etosil she was, still clung onto the herons of her previous sect, passing this knowledge down to Merlyn, who seemed grateful to learn as much as she could. Alongside this, much of the house's speech was in Mirnoye, and occasional brief visits would be paid to Etosil. Thanks to her lineage, a long line of shield-use was passed down to her, though she didn't use it frequently, admittedly.

    Due to the lack of boys, Merlyn’s parents, from the start, decided to raise her more on the masculine side, resulting in a rejection of femininity from the young girl that differentiated her from the others. Showing a deeper interest in her faith than most her age, it seemed only fitting for her to practically beg her parents to join the Villiers-Eclaire knights that sought to give them alms at a young age. Her parents eventually folded to allow the young girl to pursue life as a page for the order.

    Gruelling training in the Carainthais Monastery began at just the age of seven for the girl, though for her, it was practically luxury as compared to her previous destitute manner of living. Her mentor was similarly New Regalian, resulting in a regimented, unrelenting training that almost seemed further biased against her due to her gender. However, at such a young age, she didn’t think to consider such, and mainly endeavored to be faithful and loyal to her religion and order. Despite her receiving much of her education in a Dogmatic light, much of her parents’ religion shined through in the back of her mind.

    Eventually she saw her rise to her status as a squire to her mentor. She accompanied them across the borders of various lands, gaining the occasional bit of experience in battle. However, the majority of her efforts were found centered around the guarding of churches, as well as warding off various aberrants found throughout the empire.

    At the age of 20, graduation to a Dame-at-Arms, she eventually ventured back to Calemberg to protect the various curates and churches. Although her duty was intended to be guided towards the Dogmatic churches, she still often saw to Dogartan churches in relative secrecy. This work was not particularly easy for her, seeing as she was a female knight in a heavily gender-role heavy society.

    With disdain building for her homeland due to the backlash she was faced with, she set out to the drastic opposite culture, towards the Ithanian inhabited lands of Pays-Sud- specifically Basta-Irvelle. Luckily for her, the culture shock was not so strong as to drive her off entirely, thanks to the heavy Unionist influence. Here, she learned the language, though this soon became redundant with the growing popularity of Imperial culture.

    While Imperial culture grew, her reluctance to assimilate did as well, despite her ultimate loyalty to the Regalian Empire. In place of Basta, her next home became Etosil, where she spent much of her time learning about the herons she was taught at an early age. Although she largely avoided the Vladno portion of Etosil, she usually took quite well to the Etosian people at first. Thanks to a previous foundation set in place by her mother, the language of the Etosian people wasn't too difficult to grasp, albeit with some extra tutoring she sought out with the local churches that she sought to assist from time to time. Dissatisfied with the treatment she faced in Etosil, Merlyn returned to Basta. Here she learned how to use a Puretek after countless lessons, a Quartershot in particular.


    Eventually, Merlyn set off towards the Holy City itself , prepared to spread her niche faith. However, her duties, of course, were guided to protect all of those of Unionist faith, save for the Divinarian heretics.
