Background:
Raised in a noble family of wealthy elven textile merchants in the Cormyrian capital of Suzail, Netanya has known nothing but wealth and privilege. Netanya would spend her early years immersed in Suzail’s noble society attending extravagant dinner parties, formal galas, and soirees while enhancing her social status. Netanya soon became regarded as a renowned socialite among the noble circuit earning her ever more invitations to socials and access to ranking nobles. The elders who administrated over her family’s enterprise were keen to use her social status as a means of preserving clients and conscripting new clients.
Netanya regarded her inherited privilege as birthright and believed herself superior to those below her caste. She considered herself magnanimous for making the effort to acknowledge those far below her station when she happened upon them.
During her time in Suzail Netanya was recruited into an noble adventuring guild known as the Silver Arrow, comprised primarily of female archers from the Suzail nobility. Archery itself was a recreational hobby her family practiced and she openly embraced. The Silver Arrow represented itself as an innocent gaming Guild of stately noble woman who hunted for sport while occasionally using their impressive archery skills to undertake high risk expeditions. Beneath this veneer the Silver Arrow would adopt Auril as their matron deity and dedicated themselves to culling “tainted” races and other ‘deplorables’ they deemed ‘unworthy of existence’. A sheltered life of privilege and wealth instilled within them (including Netanya) a sense of societal superiority and unquestionable entitlement. They believed their lavish lifestyle was endowed by providence and felt no obligation to regard anyone they deemed deplorable in equal terms. Never was it instilled upon them to believe otherwise.
To demonstrate their fealty to the Frostmaiden the Silver Arrow would often embark on pilgrimages north to the Temple of Auril in Glister to partake in the Midwinter festival where they would jubilantly engage in ice-dancing and other forms of revelry through the night in honor of the Frostmaiden. Netanya would enthusiastically embark on these pilgrimages with her colleagues in the Silver Arrow whenever the opportunity presented itself to her. While in the Colds Lands during their pilgrimage they were careful to avoid entangling themselves with the Zhentarium or the prolonged war between Damara and Vaasa.
The Silver Arrow hunted wild animal game as well as roaming orcs in the King’s Forest surrounding Suzail and undertook exploratory missions into ancient ruins and dungeons in search of treasures. Being of nobility they had no difficulty acquiring charters to undertake their missions. At the behest of wealthy merchants and collectors among the nobility the Silver Arrow would often undertake missions to recover ancient artifacts or suppress brigand rings and hostile barbarian tribes that threatened trade. The service of the Silver Arrow was often solicited when the Purple Dragons were predisposed with other priorities.
For this reason the Silver Arrow was highly regarded by numerous sects within the nobility. Many in these noble sects admired their exceptional taste in fashion and their overall elegance; even their hunting attire was considered exceptionally fabulous. The Silver Arrow prided themselves on their personal appearance which elicited the awe of many among the nobility (and commoners). The nobility knew nothing of the Silver Arrow aside from the benefits they wrought by recovering artifacts, helping to sustain trade, and their awe aspiring reputation. They had no reason to suspect otherwise of them.
The tactics employed by the Silver Arrow, however, were brutal by any measurable standard. Often they would string up the bodies of captured brigands or barbarians - hanging their arrow impaled bodies from tree branches to deter other would be hostiles seeking to threaten trade trade or Cormyrian livelihood. The more vicious guild members able to commune with nature, would summon hordes of wolves, bears, panthers and other apex predators to ravage the villages of hostile barbaric tribes, slaughtering all inhabitants leaving a wake of desolation. Often the members of the Silver Arrow would gleefully watch from afar as these villages were decimated while sipping wine, feasting on pastries, and bantering about such things as Baroness Esmeralda’s scandalous use of pastels to adorn her drawing room. Otherwise innocent and harmless half-orcs going about their daily lives were frequently marked for assassination by the Silver Arrow should they happen these figures traveling alone or small groups during expeditions. Netanya took immense pleasure in directing and executing these assassinations.
The Silver Arrow was keen on keeping the nobility, Purple Dragons, and Monarch blind to their tactics least it stain their otherwise stellar reputation. Netanya harbored no qualms over the tactics employed by the Silver Arrow. What mattered to her was the prestige her affiliation with the guild earned her. When rumors of these atrocities would reach Suzail the Silver Arrow’s stately reputation rendered them immune from suspicion. Suspicion was always directed towards more openly seedier factions.
Feeling to need to expand their clientele the elder administrators of the family enterprise dispatched Netanya and several of his siblings and cousins to various trade capitols throughout Faerun as ambassadors. These ambassadors would immerse themselves amongst the nobility and solicit clients as they had become adept at doing in Suzail. Netanya was dispatched to Baldur’s Gate where she would receive a handsome monthly stipend to sustain her extravagant lifestyle. She would be accompanied by her personal servant staff consisting of her cherished personal stylist Orlando who would tend to all her aesthetic needs and her personal cook Ramon who would tend to her dietary needs.
Netanya would bid her colleagues within the Silver Arrow farewell upon her departure though she would retain honorary member status with the guild. Upon her arrival in Baldur’s Gate Netanya quickly went to task ingratiating herself among the nobility and gentry using her wealth and association with her family’s wealthy merchant enterprise as a conduit into the nobility circuit. Netanya would earn herself invitations to exclusive dinner parties as she had done in Suzail. As of this day she continues to do the bidding on behalf her family’s enterprise.
Goals:
- Secretly Netanya would seek out adherents of the Frost Maiden to forge a common alliance among them. Having ingratiated herself with the Temple if Auril in Cloud Peaks she has embarked on an endeavor to expand the influence of the Temple and advance the interest of the Frost Maiden.
- Not content to just serve as ambassador to her family's enterprise, Netanya would pursue the establishment of her own enterprise that would enable her to exercise her creative flair for fashion design. With this objective in mine Netanya, and her personal stylist Orlando, would begin establishing the foundation of a Fashion Guild she would eventually christen House Divine. She would relay on procurements from her family's textile enterprise to sate the materials needs of the Guild.
Misc Facts:
- Netanya has absolutely little regard for the downtrodden – she views them as victims of their own making and societal leeches.
- She remains disdainful and contemptuous of “tainted” races; primary orcs and drow, preferring instead their eradication. She makes no distinction between half-bloods and full-bloods.
- Mostly concerns herself with the trivialities of her own everyday life as they were cataclysmic in scale. She only concerns herself with larger worldly matters only to the extent they impact her image, disrupt her extravagant lifestyle, or garner her public recognition and praise.
- Eschews charity and sees no value in the enterprise least it provide a tangible return of investment
Likes:
- Wine (Preferably a 1329 Mulhorand Red aged in a ancient oak barrels which rounds out the flavor while infusing the wine with earthy boldness)
