How Paraloiut became Paraloiut

Paraloiut is an old term, in felar, it means "One who Freezes by Stare".
Paraloiut got this name when she was very young because of her striking
emerald eyes and how they would, when she was allowed to join pack
hunts, freeze a deer in place when her gaze locked with the creature's.
It is rumored those who have these striking eyes will be loners and
that is exactly what Paraloiut became.

Her interests, while young, in a pack of felar raiders out of the frozen
wastes, did not lie with the pack. She could care less what they did
or how they entertained themselves. When they would go on raids against
the frost giants, she would sneak out of the frozen wastes and spend
her time in nearby marshes near Galadon to the west. Unlike other
felar, she did not mind the water and spent hours digging through
muck to find insects and vermin of her liking.

This interest became an obsession and through this obsession she discovered
that insects near the Tower of High Sorcery and High Lords Keep had
different aspects than those farther away. Investigating more
she learned that this was most likely due to the magic contained
within each, and that through the influence of magic these insects
evolved into something either far more superior, or far more inferior.
Those inferior died off, while the superior consumed and took over
those that were weaker.

What was more interesting to Para was how quickly these changes happened.
She woud introduce a bee hive near the High Lord's Keep, and within
weeks the bees would be changed. How quickly this evolution happened
was only seen in insects and vermin, not larger creatures that took
years to reproduce. Para began to manipulate insects for her own
uses and through time, she just wandered away from her pack in the
Frozen Wastes and took up residence in the swamps. There she convinced
herself that her name "Paraloiut" actually meant "Change Before Eyes".
