Background:
Naionna was born among the moon elves of the King's Forest in Cormyr in 1156. Her mother, Fiani, a basket weaver, and her father, Caelten, a bowyer, were humble artisans that enjoyed their community. As a toddler, Naionna was visited regularly under the full moon by a mischevious fey creature known as a grig. When her parents approached to investigate the strange sounds, the grig would simply leap out the window with a cackling laugh. Unsure if the vists were a good or bad omen, they sought the advice of Baerelus the Bold, a local satyr. Fiani bundled Naionna in her favorite basket and carried her through the woods while Caelten brought a longbow as a gift for Baerelus in payment for advice regarding the visits from the grig. Hearing the concerned story, the satyr accepted the bow from Caelten and inspected the child. He suggested taking Naionna to a dryad in the Wealdath, the large forest covering the northern lands of Tethyr. Baerelus saw a potential that the dryad might aid the young elf in developing.

The dryad accepted the child then handed Fiani and Caelten an acorn... in exchange for the "gift" the elves had given her. Bewildered briefly, Naionna's parents quickly realized what had happened. They left the child with the dryad and returned home, their hearts broken but with a small lingering hope that this was the way it should have been.

The dryad gave her the name Keeper of Oak, Daughter of Faeries, Naionna Syllanna in the tongue of elf kin. The toddler was then delivered to the wild elves of the Elmanesse tribe who taught her their ways. Naionna would visit the dryad frequently to learn the way of the woods, the way of Balance and of the Oak Father, from a fey's perspective.

When Naionna was 155, she left the woods and began wandering the lands of Faerûn. From the dense jungles of the Chult where she bonded with a panther named Sinae, to the tall trees of Chondalwood, in the peaks of the Orsraun Mountains, along the Giant's plains and to the Greenfields, she wandered. The last few months of her 37 years of wandering, she followed the Chionthar River and soon found herself in the Swordcoast... a very strange land to her.

There is a 192 year old oak tree in the King's Forest.

Goals: To aid those that protect the balance and develop what the dryad showed her.
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: Naionna has already met the local elves of Doron Amar and a couple druids from the local grove. Her view of the realm from a moon elf raised by wild elves and trained by a druidic dryad is already beng tested. Any other tests are more than welcome.
