Naomi Velaea Oredelver is the
half-elf
adopted daughter of the
Hero of Saltmarsh Mogran Oredelver and the older biological sibling of her brother
Dimitri.
History
Naomi Velaea was born in ruined city of the
Styes in Flamerule of 1500 to a
human father and
elven mother. Her and her younger brother Dimitri were abandoned in 1505, when their father died and their mother determined she couldn't take care of them, and Dimitri and Naomi were sent to a poorly run orphanage in the city.
In 1507, shortly after returning from a trip to the
Elemental Plane of Fire, one of the Heroes of Saltmarsh, Mogran Oredelver, was passing through the Styes again. While there, Mogran found Naomi and Dimitri and adopted them, much in the same way that he adopted his oldest child, the
green dragonborn Erig, a decade earlier.
The Velaea siblings were brought with Mogran to be raised in
Neverwinter, adopting the Oredelver last name but deciding against closely tying themselves to Mogran's
dwarven clan,
Clan Velgrund, as they strongly identified with with half-elf lineage. Regardless, Dimitri quickly grew to love Mogran like a father and Erig like a brother, something that concerned the initially more guarded Naomi, though over the years Naomi too would care for Mogran, just not as a father.
In 1517, the Oredelver family attended
97th Annual Tournament of Ki in support of Mogran's friend and fellow Hero of Saltmarsh,
Lyra.
In the 1520s, Naomi moved to
Waterdeep after being connected to the city through
Seraphina Pierce, a member of the
Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors, to make her own place in the world, though she often visited her family back in Neverwinter when she could.
