Nilrei was born in Ker’nor of Axios. Due to the elven curse of infertility, her parents had planned her birth years in advance. This gave her blacksmithing father sufficient time to create the sword that would be passed down to her after the completion of her basic swordplay training, and that she would continue to use through the majority of her life. Like most of her kind, Nilrei is a strong believer of the Ancestral Plane, but she does not believe in the creation theory of Malin and Velulaei. Expressing little interest in marriage, Nilrei focuses a majority of her time strictly into her longtime passions, and will often be negligent of new experiences. Feeling as if her limited exposure to unfamiliarity would hinder her ability to make good judgements in the future, her mother has asked of her that she leave her home city for a few years and take some time to explore the world. Though slightly irritated, Nilrei did not want to disrespect her mother, the eldest of her family. She now travels with no particular home of her own.
