The Silver Moon Silversorrow Moonsong’s backstory Part One: The Tiefling On The Steps On the night of the Cold Moon, a bundle was found on the steps of Selûne’s temple. As it was brought inside, a small face started poking out, eyes slowly opening. Her skin was blue as the ocean, pupilless eyes cyan like robin eggs, and navy blue hair dark as the night sky. At first they thought it as a trick of the light. That was until curved horns poked out from the bundle. “A Tiefling!” the priest cried. They brought her to Our Lady Of Silver. “Hmmm…” Selûle contemplated. “Keep her. Raise her as an Acolyte.” said the moonmaiden in her sing-song voice. And so, she was given the name Silversorrow Moonsong, due to her silver horns, her story of sorrow, and the way Selûne talked to the priest. She eventually adapted this to simply Silver Moonsong, though her full name still is used. Part Two: Life In The Temple As she grew, she spent much time reading, praying, and preparing offerings. When she turned 5, she chose to take the life of a cleric. She learned healing spells, protection spells, everything she may need when it was her time to leave the House of the Moon. At ten, she was given an amulet with Selûne’s symbol, which she always wore close. She continued studying, praying, and protecting any traveler. At age 15, the moonmaiden came to her. “Silversorrow…” she said gently. “In 4 years time, a group of travelers will come. From a far west land. Join them.” Silver was shocked. “M-Me? Going out of the temple?” she stuttered. “Yes. Study harder. You will need it for this adventure.” Then Our Lady Of Silver faded away. Part Three: The Preparation She told the priest that had found her and raised her. “Mmmm…” He wandered over to his quarters. “I’ve been waiting for this…” Silver was given 3 large books, a sack with the emblem of the moon goddess, and most importantly, a new outfit. “Now, you have much to do. I will not take any more of your time.” In one book, she found pictures of the world outside of the House of the Moon. In another, advanced protection and healing spells. And the last one was blank, except for a note from the priest. It read “Silversorrow Moonsong, this book is for your records. All Acolytes who leave the temple keep a book much like this. In time, this book will be filled with photos, notes, and new spells you have learned. Keep it close.” For the next 4 years, she spent even more time studying and praying. Until the time finally came. Part Four: Our Lady of Silver Returns On her 19th birthday, while she was praying, Selûne came back. “Silversorrow, it is almost time. In a few days, your group will come. Keep studying, keep praying, keep being brave.” Silver was extremely nervous. “But how do I know which group to go with?” “Follow your heart, and all will fall into place.” Then she disappeared again. Once again, Silver went to the priest. This time, she was given nothing. Nothing but a small bit of paper. One word written on it: Kindness. She slipped this into her bag, along with the blank book. She put on her new outfit, and waited. One day. Two days. Three days. And then, on the night of the fourth day, she found them. A group, going far west, looking for another traveler. Her silver horns seemed to glow in the moonlight. Her pupilless eyes grew wide. Her navy blue hair blew with the wind. And, for the first time in 4 years, she wasn't nervous. Instead, she remembered that night, that first night, that night where Selûne herself blessed her. “She will have a heart strong, even though she may not think it.”
