Vren - Braduk Refugee

Player: paradoxa/NPC

Vren was a refugee from the ruined city-state of Braduk. She was travelling around with a small group of kids. They were part of a small group of maybe 5 or 6 families. Their parents and perhaps some of the grandparents found and occupied a relatively safe location for some years - for example an hill with a old castle, dating back to the time when Braduk was still a small town with feudal lords ruling the lands around it, later when the city enclosed it it was reused as a prison building with caves extending into the hill as a cold store for some merchant's supplies.
Because of that, the group managed to get along fairly well and even raise some children. But a few years ago, they were driven out of that haven for some reason (an earthquake destroying the walls, supplies running out, something drawing the demons to that position, or just internal power struggle). After that, their luck failed them and their numbers dwindled, due to attacks by demons and orcs, accidents, bloody rivalries with other survivors for the scarce resources etc.

Eventually she and the kids escaped the Burning Pit devestation with the help of the Paladin Ellsbeth. The group found their way to Falcon's Hollow where there met the others and were well taken care of. To repay the kindess they were shown Vren offered to help the town against the Blackscour Taint that was infecting and killing off the townsfolks.

Vren traveled with the other heroes into the Darkmoon Wood where eventually she met her demise at the claws of a large Worg named Greypelt that was hording Ironbloom Mushrooms, the last ingredient the group needed for the cure. She went down fighting.
