Allistara Silverwing

Allistara is an aasimar who is native to the world of Reverie. Strong and steadfast, she is a hard defender of the weak and powerless. After her imprisonment and torture at the hands of a vampire clan, she is even harder on the undead hordes her patron despises.

Physical Description
Physically Imposing, having had her size magically increased to improve her combat prowess, Allistara towers over friend and foe. Clad in a lightweight armor of black and red inscribed with symbols of her goddess, and with skin of shining silver, she always stands out in a crowd. She carries a long dagger and a massive great sword stolen from her former captives.

Background
Born into poverty, Allistara spent time on the streets until she was taken in by the church of Pharasma. While there, she was pampered, shown deference due to her heritage and given everything she could need. While she lounged one day, some roughians came in, trying to steal some of the offerings that had been given. Allistara was asked to stop them, but she decided that it was too much effort and decided to let them have what they would. On their way out, the thieves decided that taking the offerings wasn't enough, as unbeknownst to Allistara these were minor servants of a local clan of vampires, and they decided that the servants of Pharasma should not be left in peace. They set fire to the building, killing many of the priests, with only a few surviving with Allistara. She searched, but the culprits had gotten away without a trace.

Adventuring Life
Deciding that adventuring would be the best way to search out the arsonists and gain money to rebuild, Allistara went out, signing on with the guild and going out on many jobs. She went with some allies to an island home to a family of cyclopes farmers, defeating them and taking some of their giant sheep home. She made quite a name for herself in the Arena, accepting a match against the arena master Atog himself, though she lost quite quickly to the mans overwhelming strength. Along the way she helped another Paladin strike down a powerful undead dragon of immense evil. Thinking herself unbeatable, she set out with her faithful yak Bork to find the ones who burned her home. Unfortunately, she found them. While others fought for the world against the monstrous embodiment of wrath, She was overcome by vampiric forces, who captured her, trapping her in chains and cells away from sunlight for years, torturing her and feeding upon her, weakening her greatly. As time grew on, her captors grew lax, leaving the weakest of their number to guard her. During one of the few times when she was fed, she struck. She stole her guards sword, cutting him down and escaping back to civilization.
