Princess Sylina Kelwynd

Her mother died giving birth to her and that is something that she has carried her whole life.''' '''

When she was 17, Sylina was betrothed to Corsar Barmoor, the son of the ever-magnanimous Lord Shoran Barmoor of Stonepillar. Sylina and Corsar got along quite well but only a few days before their wedding night Corsar came into her chambers, drunk and angry. When she refused to surrender her maidenhood to him, he grew violent and began to beat her. Corsar then attempted to rape Sylina but her screams caught the attention of the guards, namely Ser Eleftherios Ouranos, and they threw Corsar out of the castle.''' '''

In defence of Sylina, her older brother Vronti challenged Corsar to a trial by combat. Corsar accepted under the assumption that the fight would be nonlethal. However once he was beaten into submission and yielded to Vronti, his pleas for mercy were ignored as the Prince’s blade beheaded the would-be rapist.

Sylina, traumatized by the whole ordeal, began to not trust people and instead began to learn how to manipulate people for her own protection and the protection of those around her.
