Aloriastana

Aloriastana stands at 5'4, with a toned body, though not overly muscular, like an ameteur athlete. Long raven black hair falls past her shoulders. Brown eyes look out at you, flecked with green, twinkling like a star at night. Deep blue robes, nearly black, cover her toned form. A wry smile is on her face.

Aloriastana, her friends refer to her as "Aloria", was born a noble in the city of Arabel in the Cormyr nation. Her mother, Analatanaiasta, died while giving birth four years later to another daughter, Aloria's younger sister, Alunala D'gleece. Her father, Dalmon D'gleece, was a noble and Duke of Cormyr. While not possessing land (except the land the family manor was built upon), he made a small fortune through the families trading company stationed in tents along the outer wall of Arabel. It mainly specilized in sale of agriculturial supplies and equipment, most of which went to Immersea and surrounding farms, as well as other merchant suppliers. Unfortunately, most of this family wealth was lost to her fathers gambling habits, of which he certainly didn't seem to have Tymora's blessings. In the end, he was killed by an unknown party, presumably from debts or a gaming dispute, the killer was never apprehended. Aloria was sixteen at the time. With the death of the father, she inheriated the family estate, a large manor and the family business (at the time, which was in debt). Of course, she also inherited hers fathers title and is now Duchess Aloriasta D'gleece. She took the reigns of this business and turned it around, paying off her fathers debts and earning enough money to cover operational costs and still have some left over. Since then, the family recovered through the steady income, though not near the height that it once was. Aloria, like her mother, worships Selune, the Moonmaiden. Often she would slip out of the gates of Arabel past dark, when the Purple Dragons of Arabel looked the other way and sleep out under the stars away from the light of the city. Despite this, she is well informed with matters of city and state mostly because of her teachings as a child. She is an expert on ancient history (cormyrian), heraldry and ettiquite - though the latter she tends to use as a tool more than any attachment to it. A few months ago, while looking to the stars and consulting their positions and meaning, she was urged by Our Lady of Silver (Selune) to head out and follow the Ratans-star. Since she had never left Cormyr, she delayed in this only to have her sister fall ill several days later. After consulting the stars once more, she head out... Following the star and away from the safety of Cormyr. A messenger reached her, before leaving the borders of Cormyr, that her sister had made a miraculous recovery. So now she rides, heading to the star.
