Personal history

Hallia was given up for adoption to the High Temple of Mystra in the mountains surrounding Halrua. She grew up with the temple as her family and excelled with a natural affinity to magic. She rose through the ranks, making friends and developing her talents and eventually started going on missions for the temple with her sister Carlyle, a young white dragon given to the care of the temple. The pair of them would go out to abandoned and lost sites of magical significance, aincent temples, the secret laboratories of long dead magi, etc. and collecting their research and treasures to the temple for study and safe keeping.   After several years of this the pair went north to investigate the weeping peak after hearing of the death of the arch magi Melren. On the way there they were captured and experimented on by a lich who's lair lay near the peak. There they met Tilo and were eventually freed by Seteth, Xior, and Avel.   The trio escaped with the Windblown's help but not without side effects. Tilo and Hallia gained sorcerous powers after being exposed to magic from the shadowfell. They were sheltered for a while at the peak and decided, after a while, to work with the company, using this as a northern stronghold to continue their work for Mystra.   They explore sites, recover journals, research and magical items, then classify them, returning anything dangerous to the temple to be stored safely. The rest are either put into circulation with the members or sold. Although Hallia rarely goes on contract missions she is one of the top performers with the company.

History

Hallia is thankful to the company for rescuing her and her friends but she's primarily using this as a way to track down dungeons and relics for the temple. That being said she doesn't have any reason or desire to leave the organization and the windblown in turn, is extremely happy with her and carlyles performances. She has made quite a few new friends here and is enjoying how different her teammates are from the members of the temple.
