In some situations she's gone so far as to risk her own life to protect the innocent, an ideal she adopted after spending her first months in the order patrolling the less protected regions of the kingdom. However that does not mean she is a naive, overly optimistic individual. In fact Evelyn is quite a focused and composed individual with genuine care for those under her command. Above all things she hates those who prey upon the innocent however she does tend to offer them mercy as her ideology follows closely the teachings of Altaia, the goddess of compassion. [color=fff79a][b][u]History[/u][/b][/color] [hider] First born and only daughter of Lord Theran Sunderland and Lady Irea of House Naermont, Evelyn Sunderland would know only adversity throughout her life. From birth it was fated that she'd inherit her father's title as Wardeness of Southern Farendar. All the land from The Red Shores in the South to The Southern Mirastian Mountain Pass further north would be hers to rule upon her father's death. With such responsibility to be bestowed upon her from the time she could walk Evelyn was trained to take on the mantle of Wardeness. Her entire childhood would be comprised of training in court etiquette, trade, politics, warfare strategy, combat, all the qualities need for a Lady of the South. Ever since its founding House Sunderland has defended the Southern half of the kingdom from countless Nalrokar incursions along with various Talmer bandit raids. The Great War proved to the realm that House Sutherland was more than just a shield for as the Nalrokar advanced inland along the eastern shore, southern Farendar held for the entirety of the war. Evelyn knew not what it meant to be a child, to enjoy the company of other children and the joys of youth. Her whole life was for the realm and her life's purpose was taken from her upon the birth of her younger brother, Lord Damen of House Sunderland. Evelyn's birthright had been stolen from her, her purpose for being was wiped from existence. As a result, Evelyn was left to be used in the more traditional fashion, a bride to secure an alliance with neighboring lords. For years she argued viciously with her parents and it wasn't until she was nineteen was her salvation realized. Evelyn had an affinity with magic, because of this her parents revoked their original plan of marrying her off. Instead they gave her to The Order of The Dawn Covenant in the hopes she'd bring honor and glory to her house. In truth The Order was anything but a gilded guild of warriors. These brave men and women fought, some their entire lives, in defense against the numerous abominations across the continent. If not battling monsters The Order would protect the innocent from those who'd do them harm, care for any unfortunate soul in need or aid, investigate any magic related crime, and so much more. When Evelyn arrived at The Order's Fortress, "Starwatch", she was immediately thrown into training. Fortunately her childhood being spent practicing such things gave her an edge and by the time she was twenty-one she had completed her training a year ahead of her peers. At first she was merely an acolyte but after years of service Evelyn would reach the rank of Knight-Captain at the age of twenty-seven. Recently she'd been the Knight-Captain of The Gate, commanding a force of several hundred Templars stationed at the central Mirastian Mountain Pass. Currently her position is at Starwatch in the north where The Order prepares for war.

Her life, who she was and where she'd come from, had to fit all in one pack. Traditionally there'd been a feast the night prior to wish good fortune to the departing but for Evelyn there had been no feast. The halls of her family's castle were silent and echoed only the footsteps of the guards on patrol. Yet for Evelyn, she felt no sorrow as she watched the sun rise with its blood orange rays streaking across the partially cloudy sky. Instead she felt a sense of hope amidst the fear that was forming in her heart. [color=fff79a][b]"This will most likely be the last time I see the sunrise from this window..."[/b][/color], she spoke but there was no one to hear, there never was anyone to hear. Just then the door to her chamber slowly swung open to reveal a young boy with tears rolling down his face. [b]"It's my fault you're leaving..."[/b], he said as he tried to hold back further tears from being shed. Evelyn quickly walked over to her brother before wiping away the tears from his cheeks. [color=fff79a][b]"Who fed you such lies little brother?"[/b][/color], Evelyn hugged Damen hoping to comfort him in their last moments together. It only made Damen cry more as he sensed this would be the last time they would see each other. Though he struggled, the young lord managed to control his sobbing long enough to speak, [b]"I heard Master Oeric last night, he said you were to be Wardeness until I was born. He said I stole your birthright and now you're being sent away because of me"[/b]. At this point Damen as once again on the verge of tears but before he could continue Evelyn hushed him before hugging him again once more. [color=fff79a][b]"Master Oeric is not one to think before he speaks. Remember when House Lorinth visited us and what Oeric said to the lord's son?"[/b][/color] Damen smiled slightly through his tears as he answered, [b]"He said he looked like a half shaven boar"[/b] [color=fff79a][b]"And father spent the rest of the night convincing Lord Iedan that Oeric was drunk. Keep that in mind next time you hear him say things like that"[/b][/color] [b]"Why are you leaving then, Evey?"[/b] There was a momentary pause as Evelyn thought of a reason other than the truth. The truth was that Damen did steal the throne from her and it was true that she was being sent away to be of some other use to the family. [color=fff79a][b]"Father and Mother want me to join the Templars so I can protect our family"[/b][/color], Evelyn answered trying to sound genuine in her response. [b]"Why can't you protect us from here then?"[/b], Damen asked as he rubbed his eyes. [color=fff79a][b]"Because then I could only protect you from bad men nearby, those we already know about. What happens when bad men from far away come to hurt our family? We won't see thm till it's too late. That's why I'm leaving to join the Templars, so that I may protect you till you become Lord of House Sunderland"[/b][/color] [b]"I don't want you to go, if you go then I won't see you..."[/b] [color=fff79a][b]"Fear not little brother, we'll see each other again"[/b][/color], Evelyn hugged her brother one last time before heading down to the courtyard where her Templar escort awaited.
