Rayla
Early Life
Rayla was born and raised in the town of Heyes in a region of Stormholde known as Brightwood. As the only daughter in a family of 6 brothers, she was always determined to prove herself. Inspired by her families military history as guardsmen (and guardswomen) Rayla sought to go a step further, and spent most of her days training to serve under King's personal guard.
A Soldier For Life
When the war with the Empire broke out, Rayla had just began formal training at the military academy in the capital of Stormholde, Wayrest. At first, new recruits were unaffected. The king of Stormholde was convinced this would be a simple victory defending his homelands. However, as the battle for an independent Stormholde became more desperate, Rayla was deployed and stationed back in her hometown of Heyes. As Stormholde fell to the Empire, she realized she would never achieve her goals of joining the Kings guard, however her determination to prove herself remained as strong as ever. It is unkown how she survived capture or death at the hands of the Empire.
The Last General of Stormholde
With remnants of the Stormholde army, Rayla has moved to Point Pleasant, a region which the Empire has been slow to exert its full control over due to its particularly nondescript resources and strategic positioning. She leads her few remaining soldiers in guerilla warfare in hopes of one day restoring an Independent Stormholde, likely with her as it's lead general.
