Erian was born an albino in a small Drow settlement in the Underdark. Taken as a young woman in a raid by duergar, she was sold to buyers that turned out to be from a secret enclave of Eilistraee. Her rescuers smuggled her to the surface where, in the course of time, she began training to become a paladin. It was there she met a visiting elf nobleman with bright eyes and sparkling smile. He pursued her relentlessly and, in time, she returned his affections. When her beloved insisted that they elope, she agreed. But when Erian arrived at the appointed place, he was not there. She learned he had ridden out the night before, accompanied by his two retainers, boasting about adding "underelf" to his conquests. Rage overtook Erian and, stealing a horse, she pursued. She caught up with them before dawn while they were asleep. She doesn't remember much of what happened next, only that when her fury left her she was standing over their bloodstained corpses. Devastated by her actions, Erian wandered the wilds alone, despairing of life. Until one moonless night, she heard a soothing voice from the shadows, promising her new purpose.
