Introduction

It glowed softly in the moonlight, a soft red against her slightly grey-tinged skin. It had been given to her by Oralle, her tutor, the woman she had been forced to trust since she had found out about her heritage. Lately she had found herself wondering whether it had been such a good idea to leave Evermeet after all, but she had no choice- she would have been exiled anyway. She sighed.

She thought about what Oralle would think if she had known this was going to happen, if she knew exactly what the amulet was. Would she have given it to her? Would she have destroyed it, destroying... something else in the process?

And then there was her family. The father she didn't even know she had, until a few months ago when Oralle had finally told her of Baran, and Saranan's betrayal of her husband. And then there was Kentharil.

A thousand and one emotions fought for dominance whenever she recalled his name- many varying nuances of guilt, hatred, pity, even jealousy whirled in her mind. He was shaped by what he had done and what had been done to him, she concluded every time, though she always found this a pitiful excuse for his treatment to her. She lost herself to thought, as she did on nights like this.

An hour or so later she was in the Mithrest Inn, a cup of ale in her hand, softly singing an elven hymn under her breath, hoping for calm, and perhaps even guidance. But none came.

She had never been drunk before, but tonight she intended to drink herself into a stupor. She needed to feel alive again, to revel in sensation, as... she did. It was a curious thought, that they were perhaps alike, from completely different walks of life.

"Another cup please, Bartender..."
A figure sat down beside her, eyes shadowed. "Make that two."

The Illyria Relationship mod is the story of a young woman, seeking answers to her past, present, and future. It is about loss, change, and a family broken by tradition and hatred. It is about the bitterness of those who feel themselves forgotten, and the consequences of self-deception.

It is about love, both true and lost.

It is about a choice made, a consequence bestowed, and a gift forgotten. It is about identity, and self-exploration.

It is about friendship, and what it may entail.

But most of all?

It is about choice, and the consequences of the choices we make.
