History/Timeline
'Early Years: Life In Abalathia's Spine (1539 - 1552 6th AE)
-War Siren was born in a small village in Abalathia's Spine on The 8th Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon in 1540 of the Sixth Astral Age, She was born five minutes after her maternal twin Steel Ram. Making her the Third child of Steel Blossom (Mother) and Roaring Mountain (Father). She also had an elder brother by one year Thunder Axe. All three children were trained rigorously in the arts of war and weaponry, while Thunder Axe was also tutored in the tribes way, War Siren and Steel Ram were not privy to those teachings being the second and third children, they knew one day they would have to leave to find their own path in the world, as was custom of their people, due to sparse resources of the land in Abalathia's Spine. Life was hard but good, War Siren and Steel Ram excelled at their training, and having become obsessed with the legend of the Warriors of Old the Twins decided they would seek a similar fate, to master their inner beast.
On their 13th Names Day War Siren and Steel Ram were given Halberds of their own and armor, and sent on their journey to make their way in the world. They never saw their parents or eldest brother again.
'Early Years: Life In Exile, Taming The Inner Beast (1552 6th AE)
-Never forgetting the tales of old, they sought out any that had knowledge of the Hellsguard Warriors of old. Constantly training and emulating what they could find, it wasn't until 6 months into their journey that they stumbled onto a "tomb" of a Roegadyn Hellsguard Sellsword platoon lost to a bygone era, that they found their Soul Stone, the key to unlocking the Inner Beast.
After unlocking using only stories and legends as guides the two undertook the task of becoming as the Warriors of old were, they decided to go separate ways for 3 moons to tame and control their Inner Beasts and meet back at the spot they parted.
War Siren Spent those three moons deep in the deserts of Thanalan slaughtering any creature she came across in a bestial state for days. Final she was able to gain control covered in gore from her bestial victims. She slipped in and out of control for the next few days, every time awaking to carnage and slaughter of local predators. She struggled through black outs and wounds to gain control of the Inner Beast, she finally gained control after weeks of struggle. She realized that instead of controlling the beast, she needed to accept it as a part of her, as an ally and not treat it as a monster to be caged. She had done this with a few days to deadline to depart for her return to her brother, she was uneasy and and decided instead of heading back a few days early to remain to make sure the beast was in check.
When she returned to the meeting point she found Steel Ram Eating with a camp set up. He had told her that he had returned a week ago. They both exchanged tales of where they went and how they managed to gain control of their inner beast. Where War Siren eventually welcomed it, and embraced it; Steel Ram forced control and will over it. Two different paths to what seemed like the same results. The next day the two plotted a course to a city they felt they could find work. Ala Mhigo, they had heard tales of the growing unrest between The King Of Ruin Theoderic, and the Fist of Rhalgr and thought they may find work in the city.
'Early Years: Fall of the Fist Of Rhalgr, and Ala Mhigo (1552 -1557 6th AE)
-Upon arriving in Ala Mhigo, War Siren and Steel Ram quickly found work among King Theoderic's forces as mercenaries. The next few years were bloody, cruel and shaping. upon they're first week, they were recruited to assist in the purging of the Monks, The Fist Of Rhalgr. It was a bloody massacre, and the first time the twins had ever seen Death on This scale. During that bloody battle, War had met another Roegadyn named Flameson Hammersmith, the two were more acquaintances than friends, but she looked up to the machines of ruin the Smith wrought. After the siege was over, War Siren was down four axes, the Smith perhaps taking pity on the girl, his reasons are unknown to any but himself forged an axe that could stand up to the young girls furious blows. He also gave her the nickname of "Breaker." War Siren named the Axe "Mountain's Cleave". It saw it's fare share of blood in the years to come.
The years that followed the purge, still haunt War to this day. Theoderic's insanity grew by the passing months. He had Family, friend, and subject slain in his fits of insane paranoia. There was beheading, after beheading, the blood flowed but yet the mercenaries stayed their contract, not speaking their disgust less, they're heads added to the growing number taken. When the people could no longer take the cruelty, and insanity they revolted, War Siren and Steel Ram agreed it was time to turn their backs and walk away. They had too much blood on their hands, and had planned to set off to only do jobs that would help others as a redemption of sorts. Before the Twins could leave the Garlemald Forces descended. The conflict if you could call it that was swift, and over before anyone knew it really began. Using the revolt as an in they came in and conquered the city, War and Ram decided they would help get as many out as they could, to hopefully find refuge for the weary and broken citizens else where.
