Backstory

Vellia was born to an unknown mother, whom one can only assume made a dark and nefarious deal with some entity from the hells. As a result of this binding contract, Vellia was born. Her mother, ashamed of what she had done, abandoned Vellia upon the doorstep of a Brothel. There she was taken in by one of the women who cared and tended for those who worked within. Her mother was a Surface Drow who lived in service to Eilisitraee. She raised Vellia, teaching her of what she may expect when she ventured into the world. The difficulties and distrust that her mother was quite familiar with. However, Inspired by her mother, Vellia would eventually take to worshiping the Goddess Mystra.


Unhappy of having had her life decided for her from birth, as a cursed race, Vellia has worked tirelessly throughout her life to push past the common distrust of the tiefling race. Worshiping her god in hopes of one day proving to all that tieflings are redeemable and should not be held to the sins of their ancestors. She’s an elegant and reformed woman, mature in her demeanor and expressive in her nature. Not afraid to dip into the various pleasures of the world Vellia prides herself on being the life of any engagement. Working as a cleric and mending the wounds of those she finds in battles are just two of the many things she focuses on in life, working towards one day perhaps running a clinic of her own offering the various services to any who shall need them, at a price of course.


Vellia’s story properly begins when she finds herself transported beyond the veil of the mortal plane she lived on. Teleported to the illustrious and beautiful feywilds where she would face many challenges. She’d eventually find a home within a group known as the Syndicate where she would establish her first Clinic! There she would heal and provide her services to those in need, guiding those she met towards a brighter tomorrow. As a cleric of Mystra she spent much of her time in her library gathering what knowledge she could to catalog for future generations. Always eager to acquire more knowledge, for the sake of her deity.


As her story progressed.. She’d meet with countless troubles, losing friends along the way. Bit by bit she lost those who she trusted most. Whispers of corruption would find her ear, a godless paladin known as Nithmeia who would become Vellia’s first love. Nithmeia would begin to convince her that she was wasting her time collecting this knowledge and power for a god that she was told did not deserve her worship. More and more these whispers filled her mind, bringing her further along a downward path. After years in the Feywilds, she was now no longer collecting this knowledge and power for her goddess Mystra.. But now collecting it for herself. Ascending down the path of the Arcana Domain.


Eventually Vellia would find her way out of the Feywilds, into the world of Faerun. There she would eventually have an encounter with a woman by the name of Keladrin whom would eventually be revealed to her as having been a Succubus. This would begin Vellia’s path to further corruption, where she would learn to harness her magic, eventually unlocking the secrets of demonology through research in the grand library. After many months, her study would finally come to its peak. At this point.. Mystra had become all but a distant thought to her, the magic she once provided long faded but yet.. Another would fill the void. Her study led her to Asmodeus and her corruption once more resumed. Under the careful guidance of Keladrin, Vellia would grow more powerful than she ever had been beneath Mystra. The darkness in her heart was only eclipsed by her lust for power and knowledge that had been tended within her like a flower in a garden. She found company within a new group, unlike the syndicate.. Dark and nefarious, this group was known simply as the Arcanum. A cult in worship to Asmodeus, there Vellia blossomed creating a magic shop with a world renowned wizard by the name of Big Hat Lydia. This shop was simply known as The Hat Habitat™. Here Vellia would use the proceeds to fund her descent to darkness. Purchasing ancient torn pages from knowledge long deemed forbidden. Eventually the Arcanum would collapse due to in-fighting and disagreements. One by one her new allies left her, eventually leaving her alone with the biggest hat wizard.


Vellia would eventually be guided by Keladrin towards a new home, to which she would ascend to the position of Duchess of this new home, Starfall Keep. Where she would return to acquiring even more knowledge to expand her power… Reaching the pinnacle of her strength, she turned now towards far older powers. The corruptive essence of the Nine Hells. Vellia, now a powerful caster. Would now turn towards what she had learned in those ancient texts to summon and bind a hellish being from the Nine Hells to her will. To whom she would request guidance to attain power akin to that of what they wielded. Vellia was prepared, having learned the devils true name which was Brazeth, the Lustrous. With this power over the demon it was forced to obey in its own way. This would eventually lead to Vellia’s final descent… far different from the good aligned cleric willing to help those around her. Her evil deeds would guide her to the inevitable end of her life.. Or perhaps… rebirth. Her soul upon death was pulled to the depths of the nine hells, reforged within the soul forge before she was reborn anew.. A Succubus in the flesh. She traverses the lands to this day, her power ever expanding… now that she has eternity to acquire knowledge.
