{{{ History }}}
Born In A Land That Had Elves In The Ancient Forests, Griffons On The Top Of The Snowy Mountains, Dwarves Inside The Snowy Mountains, Dragons In The Volcanic Rings That Layed On The Outskirts Of The Land, And Trolls That Lived Where Ever Places and Caves Had Been Abandoned. And Then There Where Man, They Lived Everywhere But The Aboved Mentioned, They Had Sea Ports Lived In The Plains And Where He Had Conqured Territories From Other Men Or Beings. Now The Tribe She Was Born Into Had Been Sharing Its Mountain Borders With Griffons And Its Plains Borders With a Fairly Large Human Village Which Was Just Starting To Become A City When She Was Born.

Her Father Was The War Leader Of The Tribe, Beside The Chief, He Was The Most Revered Centaur In The Tribe , Which Made Her His Only Offspring , A Most Saught After Apprentice Even Though She Was But A Day Or So Old. Her Mother Was A Farmer, She Cultivated The Forest And The 'Centaurs BlackSteel Willow' Feild, Her Tribe Was Well Known For There Specially Made Trees , Which Were A Key Element In There Bow Making And There Strong Shafts.Upon Maxines 3rd Birthday Her Father And Mother Had Her Become Apprenticed To The Master Weapons Maker. As It Was Customed In Her Clan The Apprentice Lived With There Teacher For 10Years So As They Would Fully Learn The Craft. And Maxine Did, She Learned The Craft Of Long Distance Weapons, She Developed A New Way To Forge The Steel Tips For The Arrows So They Were Just As Light As Flint, They Were Barbed And With A Narrowed Tip It Made The Arrow Able To Slip Inbetween The Living Targets Rib Cage And Impossible To Remove Cause Of the Barbs And If One Really Wished To Kill The Target Fast the Tips Had a Slightly Hollow Tip So AS a Drop Of Posion Could Be Placed In It And Delivered.This Made Her A Very Prized Filly, Many Of Fathers And Mothers Of The Tribe Wished To Have Her Marry There Sons Upon Her 16th Birthday Which Was Law That A Female Must Marry Upon There 16th Year Or They Would Have To Leave The Village Till They Were. But She Could Have Cared LEss About That, All She Wanted To Do Was Run The Paths In The Mountains And Race Along The Cliffs With The young Griffons Who Were Learning TO Fly. She Was Probably The Only Centaur To Have A Griffon As A Best Freind, A LArge Male Griffon Named Gutrynx Had Devoted His Life To Being Her Freind Since She Saved Him From A Nasty Tangle He was In With A Black Dragon She Had Shot A Arrow Into The Dragons Eye Preventing Him From Ripping Out Gutrynx's Throat. After That He Was The Only Griffon Ever Seen Walking Thru The Camps Of Centaurs And She Was The Only Centaur Seen Walking Thru The Griffon Mountain Nesting Areas.

After Four More Years She Was To Be Married To A Weathly Farmers Son, She Had Never Met This Male Centaur And Wasnt Even Sure If She Wanted To, But The Boys Father Had Payed A High High Price To Her Father, Arranged Marriages Felt Like Selling Livestock, But It Was Law And AS A Good Daughter She Was She Followed The Law.For Six Years She Was Married To MiKala Darkana , She Had A 3 Year Old Son Named HyKala. Four Acres Of BlackSteel Trees And Two Acres Of Crops. Her Life Was Perfect, She Was Wealthy Happy And Healthy .... Then It Happened. The Horns Of War Were Sounded.

A Warcouncil Was Formed And As She Trotted Into The Tent Were The Council Was Being Held , Her Breath Caught. There Was The Head Of A Griffon On The Table And Around The Table Was Two Humans,Three Centaur Leaders, And Three DragonLords In Humanlike Forms. As She Was The Master Maker Of LongRangeWeapons She Was Called To The Meeting.She Left The Meeting Pale And Shaky, When She Returned Home Mikala Had Asked What Was Going On. The Humans,Dragons, And Obviously Half Of The Centaur Nations Leaders Had Declared War Upon The Griffons,Dwarves ,Elven and Mountain Centaurs Which Made Up The Other Half Of The Centaur Nation. The reason Was Not Known But It Was More Than Likely Over LandRights And Money. She Then Relized That Her Closest And Dearest Freind Was going To Be Indanger For She Had Been Contracted To Build As Many AS She Could Of Arrows And Bows Ment For A Raid On The Closest Griffon Nesting Grounds. Which Was Gutrynx's Home.. Her Husband Nodded and Started Packing , She asked What He was Doing And He Stated " There comes a time in ones life when you have to make a stands against rules and regulations and follow your heart, and this is that time. And my heart and our sons heart lay with you so we will Follow you ." She Knew Then That There Lives Were Not GOing To Be Easy. So That Night They Left, She Took With Her Seeds From There Forest , And Knew One Day She Would Return To Regrow It.

For Three Years The Great Land War Raged On, Then One Day As She Had Ran To Gather Reinforcements, A Surprise Attack Landed Upon The Group Her Husband,Son and Freind Were Traveling in... She Returned Just As They Were Cutting Her Freinds Head Off And Hoisting Up Her Son And Husband By There Tails. She Went Mad With Anger, With Years Of Making And Testing Bows And Such, She Was The Deadliest Shot In The Lands, She Was Known To The Opposing Armys As DeathShot. Well To Those Twenty Centaurs,Fifty Humans,And Two Dragons She Was Death HerSelf. As Soon As The Battle Was Over, With Wounds On The Better Half Of Her Body, She Gave Her Son, Husband and Best Freind A Proper Buriel.Taking A Lock Of Hair From Her Husband,and Son, She Braided It With A Feather Of Her Freinds,With That She Left COvered In Blood Of Her Families Killers She Was Found By A Group Of Scouting Elven Archers. They Immediatly Recgonized Her Since She Had Been Traveling Teaching Her Barbed Tip Technique To All The Allies Of The Griffons And Mountain Centaurs. She Was Healed Physically And Was The First Centaur To Step Foot In The Elven Capital, Where They Kept Her Safe . For She Was Healed Physically But Mentally , She Was Devastated.Which Even The Cool Emotioned Elven Understood Why. She Remained With Them For A Year, Making Her Bows And Such Still, She Shipped Out Thousands For The War.But It Was Getting Pointless For Her, She Couldnt Stand All The Death AnyMore and Decided To Leave The Land All Together.She Was Given Gifts And She Left The Elven Capital With Wishes.She Left Behind Her Mold For The Barbed Tips, That Was The Last Thing She Gave To That Realm.

A Year Afterwards She Arrived In A New Realm, After Being There For A Month Or So She Was Quickly Adopted Into The BloodStone Family, And She Was Happy To Join Such A Noble Family, She Now Wonders If It Is Time To Grow A New Crop Of BlackSteel WIllows, Perhaps It Is Time To Start Over...or not .. She had fallen out of contact with the noble family that had adopted her. She had been summoned to aide a distressed centaur female. Upon helping her return home .. she was reunited with a rogue group of centaurs that had fled the homlands. She soon became leader of the large group and over a few years she passed the leadership on and became Warleader .. she now had a legion of Centaurs under her command and was rather happy being surrounded by her own kind once more.But she still had dreams of owning a peice of land far from it all... she figured she would have that one day again.
