Once they had been rich, owning great trading fleets, but the grandson of the dynasty founder had made shady investments involving illegal excavations of Osiriani tombs, and while overseeing one such expedition in person had ordered a sarcophagus opened that should have remained undisturbed. He escaped the ensuing mummy's rampage with his life (something that could not be said of many of the hired laborers) but couldn't avoid the curse that the vengeful undead declared upon him as he fled to the bright sands of the surface. Ever since then the curse of the Kloths had been passed down from generation to generation, bringing untimely ends to promising lives and making business ventures go wrong. Slowly but steadily the family fortune was chipped away, until by the time Rala was born the Kloths were little more than a small family business.<br/><br/>Rala Kloth was born the only daughter of Hardric Kloth. Her mother passed away from a mysterious illness that doctors could not treat and clerics could not heal shortly after Rala's birth, the latest victim of the family curse. The loss of his beloved wife struck Hardric hard, and he resolved to find a way to break the curse once and for all. Rala's childhood memories of her father were mostly of him poring over the books in his office struggling to make ends meet, or being absent for months on end. But in between were a few shining moments, the more precious for their rarity, when her father would take her exploring the forest behind the ancestral mansion, and she learned to climb and track and sneak in the wild.<br/><br/>As Rala grew up Hardric was away from home more and more often, increasingly obsessed with finding the secret to breaking the curse. Finally one time Hardric never returned from an expedition, and the missing merchant was presumed dead. Rala was still a few years short of majority but she was determined to search for her father as soon as she was able. For the next few years she studied everything she could about Osirion, hired scholars to tutor her in the language of Ancient Osiriani, and hired mercenaries to train in the martial arts. When she finally came of age, her father's lawyer presented a package that her father her left behind for her for this exact moment. In it were his research notes, and most importantly, his last known destination - Wati. Leaving the dusty, rumored-to-be-cursed ancestral mansion behind, Rala purchased passage to Osirion and set out to find her father and break the Kloth curse.
