Velta's<em>originally</em>from the Storval Plateau in Varisia. Since the place is claimed by really xenophobic seven-foot-tall barbarians, likely no one knows her from there.  ;D But she spent time in Magnimar, finding ways to earn enough coin to set sail north towards the Ironbound Isles. I would have to imagine that her ship was overtaken. for her interaction with the pirates? well, you don't fuck up a capable Skald, do you? Bad luck. And she has teeth capable of biting through even the thickest Ulfen dick, so why risk it?<br/><br/>If at all possible in the course of the shopwreck, she would make her best effort to kill any of the raiders she could get her hands on. Visibly. Brutaly. Think Gregor Clegane does water polo.  XD
