Abigale is an owlin mage-student in her first year at the Silverquill College at Strixhaven University on Arcavios.
Description
Abigale is a serious and hardworking scholar. She is deaf and uses Silverquill-designed hearing aids. These filter out ambient noise, relaying only intentional speech to Abigale. They also convert her sign language into telepathic messages that are broadcast into the minds of those around her.[1] She is brown-feathered and features feathered crests at the side of her head.[1]
History
In her first year as a Strixhaven student, Abigale signed up for an Introduction to Magibotanical Environments class because it was a prerequisite for another class she wanted to take. Under the guidance of the teaching assistant, Dina, she visited Harrier's Wood, a forest some distance from the Strixhaven campus, to collect flowers. However, a faerie appeared and lured the students from the class through an Omenpath to Lorwyn-Shadowmoor.
Abigale and the other students realized that they had accidentally traveled to another plane. They emerged into a meadow containing a free-standing dolmen gate, which, paradoxically, opened into a cave on the other side. Inside, they found carvings depicting a pair of large, winged, six-armed creatures. One creature had a moon for its head; the other, a sun. They found the moon-headed creature in a chamber beyond the carvings and accidentally woke it. As they fled back through the dolmen gate, waves of darkness radiated from the creature and flooded the world beyond, turning the day to night.[1]
Fleeing from the creature, the students found their way back into the clearing where they had started, where they spotted a patch of daylight with a person in it. Upon approach, the kithkin asked them what they were doing, and realized that they were from another plane. She introduced herself as Brigid Baeli and explained the nature of the plane, mentioning that she had come to see whether there was a link between the Omenpaths and the unusual strangers that had been arriving on the plane since the Phyrexian Invasion. As she spoke, the students watched the night wash over the Omenpath they had emerged from and erase it. Realizing that they would be there for some time, Tamira asked Brigid if she knew anywhere they could stay, and the kithkin offered them hospitality.
Brigid brought the group to Goldmeadow, where they discussed their predicament. When Brigid heard that a faerie had been the reason for their arrival, she told them that they should seek audience with Maralen, queen of the faeries and a former companion of Brigid's. However, Isilu walked past the village, turning a place that had been in Lorwyn for years into Shadowmoor. Brigid told the students to escape before the xenophobic Shadowmoor kithkin attacked them, and they ran from the village, seeking Glen Elendra, Maralen's palace. When they arrived at the Wanderwine River, Abigale flew each of the others over, and they continued their journey. However, soon after they entered the Gilt-Leaf Wood, Kirol was kidnapped by an elven hunter, and none of the others noticed.
