~Xaven Xil'arran The Sojourner in Shadow~

Xaven Xil'arran was born into the noble yet unremarkable House Xil'arran of Menzoberranzan, a minor house clawing for influence in the ruthless matriarchy. His early years were shaped by the cold, calculating nature of Drow society, where deception was survival, and the weak were culled without hesitation.

But Xaven never truly fit the mold.

He was too inquisitive, too free-spirited. While his brothers and cousins sharpened their blades and honed their cruelty, he moved through the shadows, listening, watching. His talent for stealth, deception, and precision was undeniable. He could slip past a patrol unnoticed, lift a noble's coin purse without a sound, and vanish before his target even realized they had been marked. His House used him as a dagger in the dark, sending him to spy, steal, and sometimes kill but he always questioned whether this was all there was to life.

Xaven's body mirrored his skillset. Slender yet strong, with sinewy muscle honed for speed rather than brute force. He moved with effortless grace, a shadow given form. His silvery white hair was kept short and well-groomed, a rarity among Drow nobles, but he preferred it that way, nothing to grab in a fight.

~The Breaking Point~

His fate was sealed when he overheard Matron Xil'arran planning to sacrifice him to Lolth. As a mere male, his life was expendable, but what cut deeper than the betrayal was the sheer casualness of it, his own mother saw him as nothing more than a pawn.

He refused to die on her altar.

Using his rogue's cunning, he stole away in the dead of night. His escape through the Underdark was a grueling test of everything he had ever learned?avoiding patrols, outwitting Driders, and navigating treacherous tunnels filled with horrors that would chill even a Drow's blood. It was only by sheer wit and luck that he reached the surface.

~A World of Light and Uncertainty~

The first sunrise nearly blinded him. The vast openness of the sky made him feel exposed, vulnerable. Yet, despite the discomfort, he smiled. He had done the impossible, he had escaped Menzoberranzan.

But the surface world had its own dangers. People feared him, judged him on sight. Guards chased him from towns, merchants refused to trade with him, and more than once, he was forced to flee for his life.

Still, Xaven adapted. He had always been a survivor, and he refused to let the ignorance of others define him. He learned to charm his way into hearts and out of trouble. With a mischievous grin and a quick tongue, he became adept at talking his way past suspicious gatekeepers and winning over wary travelers.

Despite his dark past, Xaven possessed a jovial personality that surprised many. He enjoyed banter and flirtation, and while he rarely let his guard down completely, he found himself laughing more often than he ever had in the Underdark. He was especially fond of teasing flustered humans and elves, though he was always careful not to push too far, his survival still depended on walking a delicate line.

~The Shimmering Portal~

For months, he wandered the surface, never staying in one place too long. He stole when he had to, fought when he had no choice, and hid when it was smartest. But fate had one last twist in store for him.

One night, while traveling through an ancient ruin deep in the wilds, he came across a portal, a shimmering gateway of swirling blue and violet light. Its energy hummed with an eerie, otherworldly pull, and something deep inside him whispered that this was his path forward.

With little hesitation, Xaven stepped through.

When he emerged, he found himself in a land unlike any he had ever known, a realm of new dangers, new opportunities, and perhaps, a chance to finally find his place.

Now, a lone Drow rogue in an unfamiliar land, Xaven Xil'arran walks the roads as a sojourner in shadow, a wanderer searching for purpose, a future, and perhaps, something more.
