Riva Silvercrown, Knight of the Sword
Early Life
Riva grew up in the ancestral castle of her father Lord Silvercrown, and often dreamt of becoming a Knight of Solamnia, but never got the opportunity to participate in any knightly activities due to her gender. In secret, she trained her weapons skills, until she was fairly certain she could surpass most of her father's knights. She secretly entered a tournament her father held in 344 AC, which she won, embarrassing her father. However he pledged that he would not accept her into the knighthood. So Riva set about trying to impress her father, and learnt of a raid by Dark Dwarves on some Neidar merchants. Riva tried to aid them, but got captured herself and the dark dwarves offered her as a sacrifice to a huge monster they served. Her father appeared, having tracked Riva down, and after falling under a curse and subsequently being freed, Riva and her father fled the beast's lair as the cave itself came crashing down. The creature was impaled on Riva's battle standard and died, and the young would-be knight returned home with her father's respect.
Riva has the slender and athletic build of a trained warrior, blue eyes, and long blond hair swept back in a ponytail.
