History
 

It is unknown where Lenena was born or who her parents were for she was found in a basinet floating in the water beside The Hall of Truth. She was found and raised by Alera Wassiry, a respected Lady in the Knighthood. Questions as to what to do with the child arose when a birthmark in the shape of the symbol of Marr was found on her. The knights were dumbfounded. Some took it as a sign from Mithaniel Marr while others thought it a bad omen. Ultimately the knights realized they could not abandon the the child and if indeed her coming was a sign from their God, better she remain close at hand rather than out in the world where all manner of dangers could befall her.

It is no surprise then that Lenena would grow to learn the ways of Truth and Chivalry to become a knight herself. Sometime after being knighted there was an attack on the Order by Shadow Knights of different factions. Though she proved her honor and valor in the ensuing melee, Lenena could not prevent the deaths of her best friend Diel and Alera, her surrogate mother. After the attack was thwarted she threw herself into her work knowing that through adversity she would shine as a true servant of Mithaniel Marr.

Her biggest test however was yet to come...... In her travels she had met and fell in love with Thelos (a Shadowknight in training) thinking she could sway the young man to the side of light. He returned her feelings and when the Hall of Truth found out they were furious admonishing Lenena for even thinking of a relationship with the "enemy" as they called him. She continued her relationship in secret although she had lost favor with the Order. In her continuing travels she joined a noble guild called the Hall of Heroes and found new purpose ,learning along the way that race and profession did not make the Hero, deeds did. The Knights of Truth again frowned upon her for joining a guild streaked with the very evil they were fighting to remove from the world. Though her new allies were Troll , Ogre and Dark Elf, and many other different races and classes she had finally found honorable friends.

One day she received a vision from her God Mithaniel Marr and ran to tell the Knights who refused to acknowledge that she had indeed spoken to their Lord sighting that it would put her back in a positive light with them and that all she was doing was trying to earn their favor. Then as if she hadn't had enough grief she found out that Thelos had killed himself torn as he was between his duty and his love for her. Lenena now wanders the land with a new purpose, one that she received directly from her Lord the night he visited her. What that purpose is she will not and has not said. She carries out her unknown agenda with a cold efficiency Innoruuk himself would admire, though her deeds be still noble and full of valor. Her only loyalties lay with her Lord and her most trusted and feared allies The Hall of Heroes.
