Akenna Laeraun is a half-elf from the Wyrdeep Forest. The daughter of Rýnor Laeraun Nalfein and Gardenia of the Wyrdeep. She learned magic and other skills under the tutelage of her grandmother, Essylda Hithneth of the Wyrdeep.
Early Years
Akenna is the only daughter of Gardenia of the Wyrdeep and Rýnor Laeraun Nalfein. She often refers to her mother and grandmother as “Wyrdeep Folk”. Gardenia died shortly after giving birth to Akenna. This left Akenna’s family settlement in the Wyrdeep in peril as their mixture of both fey and elves and half-elves were not well received by other opposing fey factions who did not believe in harmonious relations with the races that originated outside of the forest; as well as constant incursions from trolls, ogres, and orcs. Gardenia and Hithneth were staunch and powerful protectors of the settlement, having been well seasoned in protecting the Wyrdeep against the vicious movements of the New Turmazyrian Empire.
With Gardenia gone Hinneth decided that Akenna would have to replace her mother as a protector.
Akenna’s lessons consisted of learning Elven, Kannalan, and Fey (spoken and written). She excelled in elemental magic. Though she learned the basics and application of Fey magic, she struggled with more elaborate applications. This spurred her grandmother and the other Essylda to resort to drastic measures to make Akenna more receptive to it.
These drastic applications not only made Akenna distance herself from her grandmother but also came under objection by her father Rýnor who strictly forbade any more alterations to his daughter's physical composition.
Bourth
Around 5082, Akenna met a man named Daerd Briqunn during a trip to the market with her father to sell furs. The two soon fell in love and eloped against the expressed wishes of Akenna’s father and especially her grandmother, the Essylda. This lead to her grandmother not speaking to Akenna for over thirty years. Akenna and Daerd were farmers in a village named Vyrest that bordered the Wyrdeep forest, despite many of the problems they encountered with the locals. Akenna gave up her practice of magic as she was not registered with the Hall of Mages. They lived relatively peaceful lives until the year 5112, when Daerd violently passed away. Being Hathyln and having no claim to their land, Akenna went back to her settlement in the Wyrdeep.
Mourning
From 5112 to 5118 Akenna lived at the settlement in the Wyrdeep. Here she helped her father with training others in the settlement how to trap. She slowly began to take up magic once more. During this time Akenna tried to reconcile with her grandmother, but the effort was fruitless. Before long, Akenna decided to leave the Wyrdeep and expand her training in the elements. Due to the restrictions of the Hall of Mages inside the empire, she decided to go to the Frontier to practice and learn.
