Fadra Eventide (Derethoi) is a dark elf Divine Agent of Sune who operates in the vicinity of Sigil and across the Planescape. She is a native of Aber-Toril.

She is the bearer of Kyorlen, the Faith Keeper.

Personality Traits

Fadra is, perhaps, the nicest dark elf most people ever meet. She takes the duties of her priesthood seriously, in that she makes a specific point of helping and caring for others, sometimes even at the cost of her own wealth or comfort.

She's a deeply thoughtful person, though perhaps not as wise as more esoteric clergy. In battle she prefers to fight directly, and most of her blessings and orisons are prepared to assist her in that endeavor, reflecting her history as a warrior. She is surprisingly blasé about physical romances, and while she will usually entertain courtships, in actual practice she capitulates only very rarely. If asked for advice on love or passion, her understanding is surprisingly technical and extends well beyond what most people consider to be either. Though she can come off as indifferent she sometimes amuses herself by embarrassing younger, or less experienced, Planeswalkers.

Brief History

Fadra was born in 1192DR, in the city of Ust Natha, to Matron Deneve of House Derethoi, the Fourth house in Ust Natha of that year. She was preceded by a brother, Kieves, and two sisters, Malise and Evess. Her father was never known to her. In her youth, she was introduced to a slave by the name of Beryl, who influenced her enough that her death caused her to lose a certain amount of ambition. In the lee, she converted to the worship of his goddess, Sune, and left the Underdark with the assistance of a Silver Dragon which guards the passageways to the surface.

She spent a great deal of time erranting as the "Rose Gold Knight" throughout northern Tethyr, and southern Amn, though mostly within those mountains, before happening into a portal that led to Sigil. In Sigil, she accomplished several notable deeds over an eight month period, before the death of her wife caused her to temporarily retire to a small hamlet called Sundale, in the Dalelands of Aber-Toril, a town which she had saved herself and which she now considers to be her 'home'.

I am a peaceful promoter of art, love and beauty.

I will defend things of beauty by vanquishing the ugliness of evil, even cloaked in beautiful form.

I will perform a loving act each day and awaken it in others as true love will win over all.

I see beauty that radiates from the core. As a rough stone hides a diamond, a drab face may hide the heart of a saint.

I am a firehair and lead by example, not with my blade. Where my blade passes, a life is cut short, and the potential for beauty is lessened. :

When my blade must pass let it be with mercy and for love.

I accept surrender if my opponent can be redeemed—and I never assume that they cannot be. All things that live love beauty, and I will show beauty’s answer to them.

I liberate others to show the beauty of freedom and the freedom in beauty.

Relationships

Notable Planar Support

Temple of Sune, Sundale, Aber-Toril

Aside from rescuing the town from a possible drow incursion from below, Fadra returned to Sundale and assisted the Temple there with its day-to-day affairs while she recovered from injuries, both physical and mental, sustained in the Planescape. As result, she shook up a certain amount of the clergy, and now enjoys an official office in the Dalelands which includes several acolytes who assist her.

The Sensates, Sigil, Planescape

After losing her grace to injury and the resulting method of her healing, Fadra left the Planes-Militant to join the Sensates. Although shifting factions is generally frowned upon and often bars an individual from pursuing further office or promotion within the subsequent faction or factions, Fadra seems content to remain at the lowest rank thereof, making use of the memory-stones as necessary and consulting with them when she is at a loss.

The Eventide Clan, Tethyr, Aber-Toril

Fadra assisted her wife in rescuing a clan of kobolds from the thrall of a Tiamatian dragon. Although she declined to lead them herself after Rarlee's death, she still enjoys a measure of respect from the small clan, and periodically checks on them and cares for their well-being.

Enemies

Frazorza, Demon Prince of Blekhole, Abyss Level 221

During a failed attempt to fulfil a vow, Fadra invaded the 221st level of the Abyss, only to be met with Frazorza's advanced guards, and swiftly captured. Frazorza butchered her, took all of her belongings save her sword, and ransomed it back to her in exchange for submitting to demonic grafts, meant to make her shame known to all at a glance. To say that they are enemies is is a grand understatement, but Fadra learned the hard way, here, how little it is she can personally accomplish on the planes.

The Banefaith, Various

Fadra has interfered in their affairs in the planescape and, although she likely ranks as 'minor nuisance' in the grand scheme of things, she is nevertheless their enemy.

Known Deeds

Hediam and the Faith Keeper

Fadra is best known for leading a group of adventurers to capture the fallen Planetar, Hediam of the Golden Hills. Though they succeeded in capturing her, they were forced to seal her in a gem to be returned to Bytopia. Her sword, Kyorlen, was gifted to her by a representative of Garl Glittergold, and she carried it until it could be healed by Moradin's faithful, MacLasiar O'Fearghail.

Notable Quotations

"If I cut [your undead] down and beat you senseless. What exactly does that do for you? Would you stop? And killing you wouldn't solve the issue, either. It's not your life I'm after. Personally, I believe that everyone can give some beauty to the world."

"Selfishness leads down a lonely path, in the end."

"I don't consider my business private for the most part. I actually find the best way to confuse spies is just saying what you mean and not giving a damn."

"Figure out what you wish to do... nobody is ever truly certain that their plans are going to work. There is always going to be a distinct chance it unravels on you. But it will unravel a lot faster if you doubt your own decisions."

"Just like evil slips into certain cracks in our armor, so can kindness... although I think for some of these people I need an adamantine pry-bar."

"Follow thy heart... We're not paladins because we took oaths and carry magic swords. Nor do our gods hesitate to make their pleasure or displeasure known to us, should we stray."

"I hope if you can learn one thing from me, it will be that you are whole as you are, and that whatever mistakes you may have made in your life, you should still embrace yourself warmer than any other lover."

-Fadra D'rethi (Derethoi) is a drow paladin of Sune, in the service of the Order of the Planes-Militant, Second House of Celestia, who operates in the vicinity of Sigil and across the Planescape.  She is a native of Aber-Toril.
+Fadra Eventide (Derethoi) is a dark elf Divine Agent of Sune who operates in the vicinity of Sigil and across the Planescape.  She is a native of Aber-Toril.
 She is the bearer of [[:Kyorlen|Kyorlen, the Faith Keeper]].
-== Description ==
+She was the Bondmate of [[Rarlee]], before her death.
-Fadra is fine-featured, with crimson eyes that trend towards more rosy tones in good lighting.  Her hair is stark silver, tamed and woven carefully to a fine braid.  A trained warrior, she's strong, limber, and remarkably healthy.  She is well endowed for a drowess, and when she is not wearing her rose-embossed armor, she can fill out a dress with little problem and as much grace.
+=== Personality Traits ===
-Although she is patient and typically serene, most note that Fadra can be a bit bull-headed, often leading her friends and companions into dangerous, sometimes even impossible situations - but it's just that she's undaunted, and firm in her convictions.  Behind the shining armor, is a mind that's cool, calculating, and rather exacting, and oftentimes before these apparently half-cocked adventures, Fadra will exhaust herself in research, and is not shy of asking for the help of others who are better informed than she.
+Fadra is, perhaps, the nicest dark elf most people ever meet. She takes the duties of her priesthood seriously, in that she makes a specific point of helping and caring for others, sometimes even at the cost of her own wealth or comfort.
-Most people find her kind and pleasant to be around.
+She's a deeply thoughtful person, though perhaps not as wise as more esoteric clergy.  In battle she prefers to fight directly, and most of her blessings and orisons are prepared to assist her in that endeavor, reflecting her history as a warrior. She is surprisingly blasé about physical romances, and while she will usually entertain courtships, in actual practice she capitulates only very rarely. If asked for advice on love or passion, her understanding is surprisingly technical and extends well beyond what most people consider to be either. Though she can come off as indifferent she sometimes amuses herself by embarrassing younger, or less experienced, Planeswalkers.
-== Philosophy & Outlook ==
-Some paladins know that they are called from a very young age. Some paladins are born good, grow up in cloisters, and squire, and have adventures alongside more experienced paladins, having bright and happy days in sunlight. Fadra is not one of those.
-She knows, personally, the power of kindness given to monsters, because she was - and is - a monster herself.  She does not compromise her beliefs, nor does she press them on others.  She is not a sword for scouring the world of evil, though she bears one, and carries it well.  Fadra instead views herself as an example and a living proof, having spent almost sixty years living as her former lover's goddess wished her to, as Beryl had painted her, long ago.
-Fadra, a Sunite, trusts her heart oftentimes more than her own eyes, and never acts against it, caring not a whit for what others wish of her, which can confound other similar paladins who defer to higher guidance or church structures - in short, she is more heavily good than lawful, when it's reckoned thus.

-In 1216DR, she attended the city's local temple of Lolth, but failed out two years later, after displaying an embarassing lack of aptitude.  To the eternal derision of her sisters, she was trained, instead, as a sargtlin, in the care of her older brother Kieves.

-In 1284DR, around the time when she assumed nominal command of the House's slave-forces and lower Sargtlin, she broke the hands of a human craftsman named Beryl.  By 1299DR, he had become a permenant fixture in her chambers, where he produced artwork for the house, and entertained the young drowess as lover and confidant.  He was slain in 1303DR, by one of her sisters, prompting Fadra, not yet a full adult, to flee Ust Natha for the surface.

-=== Capture of Hediam ===
+:  Fadra is best known for leading a group of adventurers to capture the fallen Planetar, Hediam of the Golden Hills.  Though they succeeded in capturing her, they were forced to seal her in a gem to be returned to Bytopia.  Her sword, Kyorlen, was gifted to her by a representative of Garl Glittergold, and she carried it until it could be healed by Moradin's faithful, MacLasiar O'Fearghail.
-On the tenth day of her first month in Sigil, Fadra witnessed the fall of the Planetar, Hediam, of the Golden Hills.
-She gathered a group of adventurers, visited Bytopia, and gained the support of Housewarden Portia of the Planes-Militant, and a proxy of Garl Glittergold, acquiring both a scroll of binding and the Planetar's fallen sword, the Defender of the Twin Paradises.  She also acquired a Celestial Ruby, through the wizard Hel'vyst, by way of Bytopia, which could capture the Planetar's slain soul.

-She and her companions summoned and faced Hediam on the eighteenth day, and finding her unwilling to repent and return, they managed to strike her down with the assistance of the Hollyphant, Tutu, and a small host of celestials, sealing her in the ruby and returning her to Garl Glittergold.
+: ''"If I cut [your undead] down and beat you senseless.  What exactly does that do for you?  Would you stop?  And killing you wouldn't solve the issue, either.  It's not your life I'm after.  Personally, I believe that everyone can give some beauty to the world."
-For this she was inducted into the Planes-Militant under Housewarden Portia of the Second House of Celestia.

-Following a portal device invented by the gnome Wilbur, who had been stuck on a rapidly de-aquifying world with a species of peaceful kuo-toa, Fadra served as the primary negotiator with the Illithid, Lord Trasgul, who ruled over the remains of the world of Irrinet.  Clearing out a cavern for the displaced water-worlders to live in, along with the peaceful monsters gathered by Trasgul, she assisted in resettling them peacefully.

+: "Follow thy heart...  We're not paladins because we took oaths and carry magic swords.  Nor do our gods hesitate to make their pleasure or displeasure known to us, should we stray."
-In the ninth month of the current year, she led a patrol near Cadarn, encountering a century of devils under the mastery of the former master of the Sixth Circle of Hell.  She, and a company of planeswalkers, killed them in their entirety save for their leader, who surrendered to her.  As part of his surrender, she compelled him to cast off his badge, swear never to serve the Alliance of Change, again, and learned several things about his master that she passed on to Tasha, and Chandra, planeswalkers who had been searching for those particular answers.
+: ''"I hope if you can learn one thing from me, it will be that you are whole as you are, and that whatever mistakes you may have made in your life, you should still embrace yourself warmer than any other lover."''
