Birthed in Sutica, Atlas, Hanniah was born to a blacksmith and a farmer, a human and a wood elf respectively. She grew up learning life wasn’t easy, and worked as hard as her parents did. She ended up following her father’s trade, learning smithing from him. Hanniah had several quick flings with farmboys, but none of them ever ended up working out. Hanniah’s mother was then struck with the flu, and soon died. In her grief, Hanniah ended up leaving Sutica, and therefore mainland-Atlas for the out-of-the-way land of Arcas.
The next week of her life were spent at sea, until a storm was sighted on the horizon. The boat was sunk in the storm, and Hanniah barely survived. She landed on a beach near Aegrothond, and was nursed back to health. When she next awoke, she found herself in the Cloud Temple with no recent memories.
