"Mistress Aliene," Kaltia said, inclining her head swiftly. "Though I wonder why you would wish to know of my origins, i shall nonetheless tell you...as I must obey. My full name is Kaltia L'Duruk; my mother was a human ranger in the Moonwood which is close to Neverwinter.
However, on a fateful day, a drow raiding party came to the surface. This was not a usual occurence but the way they slaughtered an innocent Moon Elf clan was. According to my mother, they left only one survivor-a little girl, whose clothes had been hacked to pieces. Anyway, a lone drow, pursueing an escaped moon elf, came across my mother praying to Mielikki in a clearing. Let's just say that though it is rare for drow to indulge in carnal pleasures, this one did. My mother killed him after the act. Nine months later I was born.
I received ranger training for her, and she taught me the use of the bow and two katanas.
However, i was curious about my...heritage, and therefore I wondered into the Underdark itself, refusing to believe all drow were evil. I came close to this city, I think, but I cannot be sure for after what seemed like years of wandering through the gloomy underdark, I came across a drow party battling svirfneblin. I began to step forward, then a little dart hit my shoulder and all went black. I woke up in the slave pens."
