Miranda Aldos is a cleric, healer, marshal, noble, orphan, prostitute, mother, and werewolf. She resides in the secret outpost to the east of Grandis, and is the ruler of the fotress and village of Hamcast. She is a worshiper of Celia, the god of healing. She has a kobold daughter, called Eadil.

Early Life
Miranda was born into the Autumnian noble family of Goldthrone, but her parents were murdered at a young age. She ran from the castle to be found by Mother Tasive of the Sisters of Celia. They offered her sanctuarary, and as she grew older she came to worship Celia, and joined the ranks of the Sisters. She learnt to read and write, and how to heal and cast other helpful spells. Some of the clerics and paladins at the nunnery taught her how to use heavy armour and a morningstar, and how to cope in many combat situations. When she reached 18, she became secretly involved in a local brothel, in order to collect money to buy her own gear. However, at age 19, a call for aid came from the south, where the City State of Grandis had fallen to an opressive, power-seeking force known as the Flanters. Miranda was instructed by the sisters to go to the south and help any refugees, by healing them or protecting them from attacks. So it was she travelled to the surroundings of Grandis, to search for refugees to help.

Arrival and Meeting the party
Arriving in the surroundings, Miranda began her search for refugees. She first searched the lowlands, and apart from the occasional family or caravan of refugees, they were practically empty. She healed who she could, but overall her search was in vain. She began searching the foothills, and found definite signs of life. Near the begining of her search, she enountered a dire lion. It did not see her, so she tried to remain silent and avoid conflict. In that moment, she saw a half-orc, a kobold, a human, a dwarf, an elf, and a halfing appear. The lion attacked them. Wondering wether she should help, or if they were enemies, she waited until the lion had been defeated, and then approached cautiously. The half orc had been slain, but the rest were alive. She introduced herself to the travelers.

She found that the travelers were Uruk, Draxon, Braf, Callious, Thryril, and Deveraux. She also found that they had an outpost nearby, full of refugees. Offering her services as a healer, she joined them on their way back to the village. Arriving at the village, she began healing people. She was appointed to be the marshal of the town, and also became quickly involved as a prostitute to Yvonne, a pimp and later the owner of a brothel.

Early Adventures and Pregnancy
Having joined with the party, Miranda set off with them to find a Lasland outpost to the south. They found it, and after some tough negotiations with an inexperienced guard captain, who unneededly slapped Miranda, invoking her fury, they managed to talk to the commander. He said they were attacking a small Flanters baricade, and would appreciate help. The party set off to attack the barricade, with the help of some Lasnland soldiers. It was a successful attack, and they returned to their own outpost.

After some time in the town, Miranda began mysteriously throwing up. It was deduced by the party that she was pregnant, although with what race they did not know.

Sitting in the town hall one day, the guards bought in a restrained Thyrll, claiming he had tried to mug somebody. Thyrll attempted to convince the party otherwise, but in the end conceded he had in fact tried to mug somebody. While the guards insisted they cut off his hands, the party decided that he needed his hands, so instead cut off his pinkies and gave him one week in prison.

That day, and army of wolf people appeared outside the village. Investigating, the party found that they had been sent by Pelor, and they were to take the village fortress of Hamcast within 3 days, before the army ascended again. Preparing for battle, the party released Thyrll so that he may help in the fight, but would return him to prison the next day.

They marched into battle, slaughtering the enemy with ease. They decided to keep the town under their control, and appointed Miranda as the ruler until they could control the highway that lead to the town. And army of kobolds occupied the town to keep it in order and defend from the Flanters.

At the start of the next week, Miranda went into labor. She gave birth to a small, scaly kobold girl. She became unconscious for most of the day.

Pinky and Werewolf War
Upon regaining consciousness, Miranda looked at her baby, and discovered it had it's pinkies chopped off. She asked the guards where Thryril was, and found that they hadn't seen him since the Battle of Hamcast. In rage, she declared he was now the town's most wanted criminal, and had a bounty placed on his head. She set up guards around the Town hall, before falling asleep again.

Waking up, she looked at her baby and found an envelope in it's crib. She opened it to reveal one of the babies pinkies, and a note, The note demanded 50 gold and all of Thryril's charges released, and for them to meet Thryril outside of town. The party went, but Thryril was not there. Upon return, they discovered much of Draxon's belongings were missing, but with no sign of a break in. One of the stolen items was a Potion of Lycanthropy.

The next morning, they saw more of Draxon's belongings had been taken. There had been no success in the town-wide search for Thryril. As night approached, the house servant came to give the baby it's meal, which Miranda tested for poison before feeding to the child. Miranda and Draxon slept in their respective rooms, but Deveraux waited in the hallway to see if he could catch Thryril. Secretly, Thryril had disguised himself as the house servant. He had fed the child it's own severed pinky, and had now given it a potion of Lycanthropy. However when Miranda tested the meal for poison, she to became infected with the disease. That night, within her room, Miranda transformed into a werewolf. She attacked and killed the guard in her room, before moving into the hall.

As Deveraux waited in the hallway for Thryril, he saw the servant walking along the hall, Miranda in hyrbrid werewolf form burst out of her room. Draxon heard this, and woke up, running down stairs with Alaeha. The servant fled as fast as he could. Deveraux bravely fought Miranda, with Draxon coming up stairs to help. Loosing the fight, a young werewolf cub came from Miranda's room and knocked Deveraux unconscious. As Draxon retreated down the hallway, he was bitten, and became a werewolf himself.

With the werewolves coming down the stairs, the guards attacked, knocking Miranda unconscious. Draxon managed to bit and infect Alaeha, before they were both knocked out. They woke up the next day in their normal form. Due to werewolves' ability to regenerate limbs, Miranda discovered that her baby had regrown it's pinkies.

At the end of this event, Miranda decided to name her baby Eadil, and adopted the name Aldos for her family.

Eadil
Eadil Aldos is the young kobold daughter of Miranda. She is not yeat one week old. Due to afflicted lycanthropy by potion only a few days after birth, she has spent a large portion of her life as a werewolf. She has become Chaotic Evil because of her lycanthropy.

Her father is unknown, as she was conceived while Miranda was working as a prostitute. However, Miranda is a strong single mother, and has taken good care of Eadil so far, no thanks to Thryril.
