Background:
Kaylin was born to a yathrin’s(priestess) human rothe(slave) in Ched Nasad. Her mother had been enslaved as the spoils of a surface raid. Despite her drowish-heritage, Kaylin’s mother loved her. In her mother’s very limited spare time (whenever the yathrin was away), she cared for, played with, told stories, and sang lullabies to Kaylin. She even crafted toys for Kaylin.

From a young age, Kaylin held a fascination for swordplay. She slayed many imaginary demons with the toy sword her mother crafted. She often proclaimed to her mother that one day she would rescue her and return her home.

Kaylin was mostly ignored by her mother’s jabbress. Then, she was ten. The yathrin began to scowl anytime Kaylin was near. She’d call her a disgusting half-blood, an abomination, or a heretic-spawn. Whenever the yathrin was in a particularly bad mood or good mood, she found whipping Kaylin was very enjoyable. Kaylin learned quickly that crying didn’t make the punishment stop, it only upset her mother. Kaylin stopped crying.

Her mother covered for her. When Kaylin was punished, her mother would complete Kaylin’s chores in addition to her own to protect her from the yathrin’s wrath. At the end of the day, she bandaged Kaylin’s wounds and sang her to sleep.

At thirteen, Kaylin began to rebel. She would insult the yathrin when she was being whipped. She began to steal coins from that yathrin’s bag. She spent countless hours trying to convince the other rothe to rise up against their jabbresses. Her punishments grew more severe, but it didn’t curb her behavior.

Kaylin was almost fifteen when the yathrin finally won. There was a planned sacrificial ceremony and Kaylin’s jabbress would be leading the ritual. Kaylin was brought to the temple in chains where she had to watch her mother being sacrificed to Lolth. For the first time since she was ten, Kaylin cried.

The next cycle, Kaylin was alone with her yathrin. The yathrin had planned another whipping punishment. Kaylin tackled the yathrin to the ground and slit her throat using a kitchen knife she had stolen. Once she was sure the yathrin was dead, she dropped the knife and ran.

Before fleeing the house, Kaylin informed the other rothe what she had done. Only one decided to join her. The two of them left the city quickly.

The female half-drow that joined Kaylin was named Cheslanna. She had the gift of magic but was very nervous about wandering the tunnels. Kaylin swore she would protect her. During the three years they traveled in the tunnels, Kaylin fell in love with her companion. It was the first experience Kaylin ever had with a romantic relationship. She’d never seen one before. She found having a relationship with Cheslanna easy. The couple arrived in Sshamath shortly after Kaylin turned eighteen.

After Kaylin met Vael’yhn Selmiyeritar and decided to join his house, Cheslanna decided to leave Sshamath. She was not won over by his charms and was not ready to attach herself to more drow. Months later, Kaylin was informed that her first love had perished alone in the tunnels. It has left Kaylin wondering if maybe she made a mistake staying in Sshamath.
