[quote=@SilverPaw] I think Estelle left home in 1007? While my character left in 1009. As for the mother dying in the war, ofc we can do that >:) Wanna ramp up on the whole betrayal thing? If so, maybe something like: the mom got intel on one or both the assassination attempts on her daughters. *But* it was actually one of the unnamed traitors we still don't know about who was trying to eliminate a powerful Kaides during the war setting some things up with the demons...tho she killed her assailants, they did her in. And ofc to our characters it'd be unknown who did it atm. Or, a simpler thing: she died facing off a horde of demons in a blaze of glory defending their home. [/quote] [i]Right[/i] Says she spent a year and a half basically bedridden. So if it happened when she was 18, yeah I think thats right. Mhm, I was thinking mom died protecting Ophelia, as she likely went to war too. We can, perhaps, do both. Ambushed by 'demons'/unnamed traitors during the campaign. Mom killed 'em all, but would basically die in Ophelia's arms or consequently find her body later with others after going for reinforcements.
