History
From the outskirts of a remote Elvish City in the North. Avna left her family to fight against the human invaders from The Bay of Needles. When her forces where divided and largely decimated she was wounded and lost consciousness. When she awoke she found herself in the back of a wagon, a prisoner of war.

After a series of harsh masters, an equal amount of failed escape attempts, and a greater number of painful reprimands, the soldiers grew tired of her disobedience and sold her to an infamously cruel noble house. House Sadarius had clawed its way into wealth and power over generations of devious plots. They now spent that wealth on high military positions and cavorting in court. The family was known to be exceedingly racist and kept a full stock of Orcish and Elvish slaves.

Avna was thrown into the kitchens and was immediately expected to serve the Sadarius family without fault, despite her inexperience in the kitchen. She suffered increasingly harsh punishments for even the smallest mistakes. The slaves of the house learned quickly to disregard race and work together to survive. Salvation came in the form of an edlerly Half-Orc slave, named kardash, who worked the kitchens.

Despite the harsh environment, Kardash was not only optimistic but somehow jovial. He helped Avna to become a great chef though the teachings of his god, Garrakg the orcish god of chefs and cooking. Kardash promised her deliverance from their hell if she devoted herself to Garrakg and his noble tenets of cooking. She agreed and swore an oath then and there to to god and his tenets if she could survive the ordeal.

It took one and a half years to escape from that house. One and a half years of extreme dedication to cooking and the noble god. But Kardash and Avna survived the bloody slave revolt in the house, as well as the 6 months of running, hiding, and fighting to escape the hostile Bay of Needles.

Never once did she lose faith in Garrakg or in Kardash. In the end, she saw him returned to lands friendly to him and took up his journey to serve Garrakg.
