Zara Dawnbreak

Zara Dawnbreak

Zara grew up on the streets of Harloch, but was born at sea. Abandoned by her parents alone, Zara spent her first years surviving on rats below decks, the crew of the ship swearing they had seen a cat but never managing to catch her.
In Harloch Zara jumped ship and grew up on the streets, stealing food for many years. after nearly a decade on the floating streets of Harloch, Zara made her first large mistake. Attempting to pickpocket a Pirate Captain and getting caught. She was picked up by the tail by the captain and shaken until every last coin fell from her pockets, her sleeves, and her boots. She was given an ultimatum. Join my crew and use your skills properly, or I leave here with your tail.
Decision made, Zara joined the crew of the Lorelei. On the third day, she was finally asked her name. Without one, Zara looked around and saw the sun coming over the horizon. Zara Dawnbreak she replied.
Five years into her time on ship, the ship was stuck in the doldrums with food and water run out. In the midst of this Zara saw a mysterious island in the mists.
"Hear me, for I am Talos, I am power beyond what you can imagine. I have the power to bring the winds and save you. The power to sink you without trace. Worship me, and I shall give you the power of the winds. Spurn me, and you shall all perish."
This was no decision, and a chocie as made. The winds picked up, and the ship was sent towards safe harbour in Caer Westphal. Beneath the shadow of the Andover mountains, Zara sought out knowledge of Talos. In an ancient tome in a shrine to Umberlee Zara found mentions of Talos from long ago. From that day forth, she was a Cleric of Talos.
Ten years into her piratical career, she ran into Ramekin at an arm wrestling contest in Neverwinter. Their paths joined, they formed their own crew with them as Captain and First Mate on alternating days. Their ship, the Seaswitch, was a place of music and booty. Until Umberlee sent her wrath.
