t of the Underdark, Krynna was one of Aran'girdian
slaves bred to serve as workers, guardians, or spies. From her very childhood
she was treated like an animal, and a dangerous one. She was the strongest in
the pack and the only one who managed to survive all the beatings and
'trainings' till the age of 12 when she was sold to drow slavers as a potential
gladiator for their bloody arenas. Luckily for her, new masters greatly
underestimated her strength and craftiness, and on the way to to TethAzeleth
she managed to escape from her cage by attacking her neighbour slaves and
tricking the drow guard to enter the cage in such a cruel way. The taste of
drow blood was sweet but not as satisfying as the blood of her former
duergarian masters.
Surprisingly, she managed to survive in the caves and caverns of Underdark
where her animal instincts in combination with ability to withstand misery
and endure pain came in handy. In addition, she managed to find a lot in
common with natural inhibitors of this place, building almost unnatural
empathy link with bears, wolves, snakes and spiders. They've accepted her
as one of them, and the most dangerous one. Together they hunted her former
masters and each of them had something of that: blood and flesh for animals,
bitter-sweet taste of revenge for her. The Scourge of the Underdark she was
named in some time by the caravans between TethAzeleth and Aran'gird,
and for a good reason.
No need to say that years of life spent in the caverns made her very distant
from so called 'civilisation' of Thera. And as the only fruits of civilisation
she has ever tasted were slavery and trickery, her hostility to it comes pretty
natural.
Having spent much time interacting only with animals, insects, and reptiles,
Krynna has almost forgotten the sound of human speech, and her words are
full of hissing, roaring, and barking. That makes her hard to understand
sometimes, but not like she cares.
