A once beautiful High Elf war maiden from the

Elder City, Medusa Sorrowblade earner her name

and legend from her countless centuries of battle in

defense of the Elves and the Faerylands against the

terrible blight known as the Craven.  

 

Banished to the lone isle of Tyre, now an acolyte in the studies of forbidden sorcery as one of the Sisterhood of Blood; the cult of accursed and powerful priestesses known as the Obsidian Order who reside alone in a brooding structure known as the Tower of Madness, a tall ghostly fortress of Despair created by the woven tapestry of magic siphoned from the living essensce of the Drow, whose Seven Houses dwell within the ruins of a shattered city sunken deep beneath their Temple.  

 

Never stepping from the sacred grounds of their Tower, they do battle in the realms of the netherworld against the Craven; a dark hunger awaiting its chance to consume what little is left of their fragile world.  The Elves had become a dying race, and if they failed in their task, the entire race of Fey would be the last of their kind.
