Davina Pansio Dax of Sharess
Before the rise of the Netherese, an angel of Sharess visited a simple young warrior in the lands of what is now known as Faerun, their love grew through the mortal years. Her advice to him as she posed as a shaman to his tribe propelled them to a time of prosperity and dominance.
She never knew of her true nature, she always let him think that she was akin to the elven tribes in the area. As the years passed and their love growing stronger, she decided to give him a child. Two grew within her womb, twins a boy and girl. She knew the man would be pleased with a son but did not want a life of a woman in the tribe for her daughter. She devised a plan to end her mortal life, leaving the son but taking the daughter with her. Praying to her liege lady Sharess, the plan was for her to be whisked away back to the Brightwater after the birth of her son.
Telling her love that the prophets were destined to call her home after his son’s birth, she began teaching magic to one of the young talented almost of age girls in the village. She prepared a headdress to be a mantle of the shaman, teachings written within its folds, magics entwined within it to assist in a shaman’s position.
The son was born first, and she knew her daughter wouldn’t be far behind. She took the headdress from her head giving it to the young woman sitting beside her, take his son to him and tell them the gods have called me to return to them you are shaman now. She could feel Sharess’s magic tingle through her as she returned to the Gates of the Moon. Within seconds of her arrival, her daughter was born.
She continued to visit the young shaman through dreams helping her guide her lost love through his leadership of the tribe and watched her son grow into the future leader of the tribe. The Aumar’s continued to be prosperous for many centuries till another deity took interest the family line.
Her daughter embraced the teachings of Sharess fully, purchasing a place within the City of Sigil. Creating a pleasure hall of the planes there, Judea Paniso Aumar the madam of the Haven of the Forbidden Petals.
The Haven catered to all of Sigil in finding those that provided pleasure catering to the needs of its clients. Its feast hall was one of a constant revel and celebration within.
It was here that Judea’s dalliance with a roguish man with talents that she hadn’t entertained in years led to her giving birth twins herself. Vitar was born first; he followed the teaching of the Sune adventuring off on his own at the age of seventy. Davina followed the steps of her mother aspiring to run the Haven one day.
The calling of Sharess was strong within her, granting her skills and powers throughout her years but within her stirred a restlessness to explore and experience life’s pleasures and all it could offer before she settled into the ways of Haven.
