Personal history
Shalia was born in Mearquet, Bashamar in 819. She had a poor childhood though was well loved by her parents. One summer night her village was attacked by a dragon. It burned everything to the ground. Her father passed away trying to help her mother and Shalia escape. Her mother was badly burned but was able to Shalia to Barkenburgh before she passed away. Shalia was taken in by an orphanage but being a tiefling, and an albino one, she was frequently picked on and when she was 11 she left the orphanage and began working.
She worked odd jobs that were not always the safest but at least got her some money though she lived on the streets. As she started to come into her body she learned of another way she could make money around the age of 16. Searching around she found a house of pleasure that was not the most upstanding but listening to rumors she learned it would at least support her and be safe for her. She learned the ways of a courtesan and found easy work at this house.
She worked at this house for five years before she became pregnant with Thymeros. Though she was not sure who the father was. Wanting a better life than what she had for her son she took her savings and set out for Miran in Anaria where she heard rumors of a more upstanding house of pleasure. She swiftly got a job there but was allowed to take the time needed to have her child. The previous owner, unable to have children herself, was happy to help Shalia raise him. This house was not only upstanding but alos considered a refuge for those that needed help getting on their feet.
As the previous owner decided to get out of the business she deicded to make Shalia her heir and she handed over the business to her. Shalia worked hard and turned the two story brothel into a four story home, inn, tavern, and brothel. She kept the same beliefs as the previous owner and treats the business as a refuge for those that need help or a way to get on their feet. No one is ever signed into service permanantly, though if they wish to stay afterwards they may do so.
