Early Life
Who is Callia ne'Fey? Well most folks around these parts aint too sure she is entirely human. The story says that she was found in the woods by a woodsman's wife and raised as their own. Is she of the fairy folk? Well, I dont rightly know and it be safer not to be asking too hard. They say that the witch can hear your thoughts from miles away let alone your words...
She grew up tall, slender, and as beautiful as an autumn morning. Her parents brought her to town when she was nearin the rites of womanhood. Something musta changed in her that day because the happy and bubbly girl became cold and quiet. Her parents, being the concerned type, sought a solution but they were not to be likin the answer they got. She had magic.
An Oracle in town saw it though she had no eyes, and she saw that the power came from the supernatural naturals. Pixies, Brownies, Sprites: Fey. She told the mother that special care was to be taken or the girl would turn on them but no parent will listen when told their child is a monster in the making. They left the town back into the woods and were not seen for several years.
They was changed, I say, and not a soul in town could see the vacant eyes without knowin that ensorcellment was afoot! Oh well, of course the Oracle knew what had happened but she had a good heart to be fearin that the townsfolk would kill the girl as a witch. She held her toungue and brought disaster upon all that inhabited Greenshire.
One by one, people fell under the fey girl's spell until not a soul in town could call his will his own. When soldiers came a month later it was the drinking and laughter from the bar while fields went untended that attracted them. The teenage enchantress sat amongst her thralls while the poor minstrel man from down road kept playin his lute with bleedin fingers. They laughed and drank and ate in a never ending party until exhaustion overtook each.
The soldiers, fearing infection from the evil spells, for indeed a number of the weaker soldiers found themselves laughing uncontrollably and had to be knocked unconcious to restain him. The town was put to the torch and the people slaughtered.
The Adventuring Years
Callia was such a fool in those younger days and she hated herself for being so out of control. It wasn't until she was forced to flee the "Utopia" she had created that her foolishness was laid bare before her. She hit the roads and joined the occassional band of adventurers looking for fame and fortune. She didn't care about any of that, but instead she watched the people. She learned about them and from them to know how their minds worked and what you could offer a man to make him yours without needing spellcraft.
Then she came across a temple of
Callistria. She had never needed or wanted religion as the she feared what they would say about a girl who tortured a town of people to death for her own amusement. Well, that might not be fair since it was actually the soldiers who killed them, but were her hands any less clean. Well, in Callistria's eyes they appeared to be. Trickery, Lust, Revenge. Such are the tenants of the Unquenchable Fire. She took the teachings to heart and learned the ways to turn Charm into Desire. Desire into Favor. Favor into Coin. Coin into Power.
Currently
She has spent the better part of a decade pulling on the strings of government and manipulating her way up the social ladder. She often tries to come off as the beautiful hostess with her ear to the heartstring of every gossip and rumor, but her own rumors have placed her in dark alleys with strong magics when she has found an opponent to be to strong willed.
A very few strong willed individuals have managed, however, to push into her inner sanctum and these few enjoy a status as trusted confidants. She knows the value of keeping strong allies close and will often ply them with pleasant words and clever lies until they are bound to her without the need for magic.
