Jade is a beautiful woman. She is very kind, compassionate, and loves life. Her calm demeanor and faith leave others full of confidence.
Jade's childhood was full of happiness until the War of the Hoard. Jade was only 10 years old when her father was sent away to fight the Hoard. The Hoard were a huge group of Barbarian tribes brought together by a powerful leader. They crushed all those that stood in their path. The army of Jade's country fought with courage and honor, but the Hoard cut through them with ease. Jade's mother was getting older and she didn't want to leave her home, but she knew she had to send Jade away.
Jade wanted to stay by her mother's side, but really had no choice. She had to obey her mother and was sent to Temple of the Sun. The god Pelor, who was known by a different name, had a very active clergy. Jade's mother had a brother there and he vouched for Jade to be accpeted. Jade was an excellent student and showed a deep sense of faith that even more experienced Priests lacked. In just 8 years she gained Clerical status by passing the Trial of Brilliance.
Jade became a Journeywoman of Pelor and was given the task of spreading the light of Pelor to those in need. She was happy to be bestowed this honor and she vowed to carry out this mission.
Soon after her trials to become a Cleric, Jade heard news that the Hoard had been defeated. It was a joyous occasion and a great celebration was had by all. Much work had to be done, but at last their land was free again.
That night Jade had a dream from Pelor. He showed her a distant land where her skill and faith were needed. That morning she confessed her dream to the Church leaders and they told her of the quest they had already known. She was to go on a very important quest for Pelor. Jade was charged with recover 6 stolen artifacts of Pelor. Each one carried a shard of Pelor's light. Jade accepted this quest and set off to lands she had never seen before.
10 years have past and Jade has recovered 3 of the artifacts and is close to finding the 4th. She has heard rumors of strange and powerful happenings in the Firestorm mountain region. Jade sets off to investigate the rumors. This could be the place where the 4th artifact lay hidden.
