Lore:

The legendary Thanalorian bard Taye Loreswift first made her name performing at harvest festivals, solstice rites, and other celebrations throughout the kingdom. Before long, she was playing for the most powerful noble houses. She inevitably caught the eye of the Lord and Lady of Thanalor and became a mainstay in their courts. Her songs were sung in homes, taverns, and markets throughout the kingdom.

One winter, during the Amorendel holiday, the Silverleaf family invited Taye to perform at their estate. It was here she met Kaylia. They talked of lyrics and lineage, the quiet strength in well-measured magic, and their shared reverence for the natural world. In the weeks that followed, the two became fast friends.

As their bond deepened, the patriarch of the Silverleaf family, Rathlorien Silverleaf, took notice. Impressed by Taye’s talent and loyalty, he made her an offer: sing under the patronage of the Silverleafs, and she’d have the full backing of his influence and access to all his connections. She accepted.

Taye continued to fill halls and bring down the house with every performance. She dreamed that her songs would spread beyond the borders of Thanaloria, across Praetoria, and to the continents beyond its shores.

But then Mahkah Hemlig came, and Taye’s dreams changed.

Fame could wait. The land was breaking, its forests torn from the earth, and Kaylia had chosen to stand against it. So Taye chose to stand beside her.

She brings more than just a pretty tune. Her songs inspire her allies and embolden them in combat. Those who oppose her are ensnared by her music—quite literally, for magic imbues each note, bringing flying foes crashing to the ground. And when Mahkah’s goons close in, Taye stops strumming and swings away with her gittern, wrecking faces with a fury that surprises even Kayla.
