Selvala of Alberon

Selvala is an elven high court member in the High City of Paliano on the plane of Fiora.

Together with her close friend, the ambitious young Count Brago, she worked himself upwards in the ruling class of Fiora. She was beloved by the people, had her fingers on the pulse of every community and enclave. She fought for the rights of immigrants, and convinced many of the old titled nobility to give up privileges that oppressed the public, before the public rose up to depose them. Together with Brago, she drafted the Charter. Afterwards, Selvala began to explore the wilderness of the lowlands, bringing unique plants and animals to Paliano, stating she prefered the natural world to the mechanics of the arificer Muzzio’s artifact creatures , which only mimiced nature.

However, only three years after he had ascended to the throne, King Brago was diagnosed with a hereditary and incurable disease. The priesthood — or Custodi — started giving treatments to prolong his life but extended themselves too far. His body would detoriate, but his wouldn't die. Thinking it an act of mercy, Selvala ended his suffering with a dagger through his heart. Bargo's spirit that was consequently released, was unable to prvent that the Custodi thre her in the dungeons for murder.

After a while, the goblin dungeon keeper Grenzo released Selvala from the dungeons in a bid to kill the Muzzio. His plan to rid Paliano from Muzzio's creations backfired when Sevala released the constructs in his own tunnels. Selvalla left the High City and went back to the wild places far below and far beyond.
