She looked too much like the beloved wife he’d lost, and with no real talent to speak of, she was worth less than a slave to him.

=Biography=
Erdene Kenbish has a burning desire to belong… somewhere. Though much-beloved by her mother, she has always felt like an outsider among her tribe - in part because of her mother.

Orqina Kenbish was found by the Sherkhen wandering alongside a road a fair distance from Taranor. Though she had no memory of who she was or how she got there, she seemed strong and healthy and the horse trader was in need of a new slave, having sold his previous one in Arangoth. When they arrived back at the tribe’s summer settlement, she drew the attention of a Sherkhen youth who bought her from the trader and made her his bride. Their union led to the birth of Erdene a mere two years later.

Still with no memory of her past, Orqina lavished attention and love on her daughter - and horrified by the treatment of Horse Maidens in her adoptive tribe, she impressed upon her daughter the importance of never drawing attention to herself. She took painstaking measures to ensure her daughter never showed any signs of talent that could be mistaken for magic, and Erdene grew up unaware of her magical abilities - even unconsciously suppressing them.

At the age of 16, her mother was killed during a tribal skirmish with the Khtarpan, and her father - already kept distant from his daughter by her mother’s over-protectiveness - rejected her outright. She looked too much like the beloved wife he’d lost, and with no real talent to speak of, she was worth less than a slave to him.

Orqina’s first owner, the horse trader Nergui, had kept an eye on the girl during her time with the tribe - curious about her strange origins and eager to see if her memory returned. With the birth of Erdene, he’d taken a grandfatherly approach to the child, and filled her head with stories of his travels to Arangoth and the incredible City of Drache, waking in the girl a desire to see this place for herself.

With her father’s rejection firmly cemented, Erdene begged Nergui to take her on to help him on his travels - an arrangement which suited the aging trader well, especially when the girl proved to have a knack for handling the horses. On her first trip to Drache, Erdene met a scholar of the Arcane Studies - literally bumping into him. His magic flared in his surprise and Erdene was smitten. By the magic, not the boy. Upon hearing that he was learning the magic at the Royal University, Erdene determined to learn all she could of the strange building which taught mere men to control the elements.

When Nerqui’s spirit was taken by the Great Mother Athi four years later, Erdene - with no friends or family to speak of - took the sole horse he’d bequeathed to her, and set off to attain entrance to Drache’s Royal University.
