Nymeis comes from a small city in the mountains of Gondor, an isolated place with its local dialect and customs. Her father was the mayor, and her only family. Unfortunately, he was falsely accused of thievery and misgovernment by another town family, and forced to flee north with her daughter after a swordfight. Unfortunately, the father died from a nasty fever just some weeks after their arrival in the small town of Archet. Now Nymeis is all alone, without money, in a place which she doesn't know, forced to use an almost foreign language. But she knows how to fight, and she wants to build her strength and her skills, hoping to return a day to her city for revenge and justice.
