The shamans of the orc tribe that she was born into took this as a portentous omen, but did not say if it was a bane or a doom. They pulled the child from her mother's breast then bathed the half orc child in her mother's human blood consecrating her to the wild power that claimed her as its own. Her upbringing was hard, she was shown no quarter and lavished with pain to prove her mettle. Rzila never showed anything but a deep wellspring of strength that allowed her to endure every torment and glean what she could of the aged orcs who exercised their will upon her. All the while fostering her force of will and determination to destroy those who sought to break her.<br/><br/>Cruelty, discipline and savagery forged Rzila into a woman of indomitable ambition and feral cunning. She tempered her rage and turned it into a weapon, allowing her to draw on the destructive power of corrupting darkness almost as easily as she summoned up the enervating power of life itself. She cleaved to darkness, learning to use it as a veil to hide when she chose to lash out at those who were determined to make her less then her auspicious birth portended. Something in the depths of that darkness stirred and welcomed her devotion, teaching her the trick of releasing the ardent storm within her soul as a weapon and how to move facilely through the obstacles that barred the way to others.<br/><br/>The eldest of the Shaman's saw this and were displeased. Rzila was no true Orc and posed a threat to them all, they determined by reading the bones of the ancestors and the recently departed. So they moved against her, having the Warchief H'gratx demand her attendance on the next raids, but giving H'gratx orders to make sure Rzila was left behind to face the 'justice' of the Hoomans. Rzila fought like a demon, inspiring those around her to acts of violence and depravity that are still recounted amongst the war bands to this day. H'gratx, true to her oaths to the Shamans, had a pair of slingers strike Rzila down as the melee died down. The Half-Orc cleric crumpled to the ground and was left for the Hooman soldiers to find when they investigated the aftermath of the raid, loath though she was to obey.<br/><br/>What passed next was a set of horrors that matched those Rzila received from the Orcs who raised her. She was beaten, ostensibly for information about the Orc War Bands, raped, for the pleasure of her tormentors and revenge for their fallen friends and family, and only then was she handed over to the Law. As she had given up those who betrayed her, leading to the deaths of the Orc Tribe who had done her such wrong and ironically fulfilling the Shaman's predictions, she was not put to death, instead, she was put on a ship to be transported far from those who she had harmed. Rzila endured every torture and violence done her as the presence in the darkness that claimed her as its own sent her dreams, oh such dreams, dreams that. Had her commit herself fully to it and trust that this journey heralded a chance to realize true greatness and was another challenge to best in her quest to become all she was meant to become.<br/><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Combat Info</strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong>HP:</strong> 26 / 26</td><td> | </td><td><strong>AC:</strong> 12 / 11 FF / 11 T</td><td> | </td><td><strong>Init:</strong> +1</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Speed:</strong> 40'</td><td> | </td><td><strong>Saves:</strong> +5 F / +4 R / +5 W</td><td> | </td><td><strong>BAB:</strong> +2 / +3 M &amp; R </td></tr><tr><td><strong>Spell Info</strong></td><td> | </td><td><strong>Domains:</strong> Travel &amp; Weather</td><td> | </td></tr><tr><td><strong>Spells Per Day:</strong> Orisons - 4 / 1st - 3+1 / 2nd - 2+1</td><td> | </td><td><strong>Orisons (DC 13):</strong> Detect Magic, Guidance, Mending</td><td> | </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td> | </td><td> and Spark</td><td> | </td></tr><tr><td><strong>1st Level (DC 14):</strong> Blessed Fists, Cure Light Wounds</td><td> | </td><td><strong>2nd Level (DC 15):</strong> Cure Moderate Wounds</td><td> | </td></tr><tr><td> and Shield of Faith / Domain: Obscuring Mists </td><td> | </td><td> and Visualization of the Body / Domain: Locate Object </td><td> | </td></tr></tbody></table>
