Manoa Douglas

741 AGW  1003 AGW  262 years old

Manoa leans deeply into her elven heritage and likes to wear lots of jewelry in her hair. For political, or otherwise social events, she often puts on traditional elven face paints.

Manoa was born to a human mother during the peak of the border Skirmishes. Her father, an elf named Elren, returned to the Faewild shortly after her birth, leaving Manoa and her mother Kyra alone. Kyra was the personal seamstress for the Douglas family. She, along with a small selection of others she employed, made and repaired clothing for the ruling family. Because of this, Moana got to grow up within the walls of Harwood Citadel. It was during these early years that Moana first met Joi Douglas. Whenever Kyra was fitting one of the Douglas Ladies for a dress the two girls would play with dolls or chase each other around the skirts of their mothers.

Joi was next in line to take leadership of Harwood Citadel and began her lessons in politics at ten years old. With the permission of Joi's father, Soren Douglas, Manoa took the lessons alongside Joi. Manoa and Joi's friendship had become a rather permanent fixture in the Douglas household, and as the two girls grew up their bond only strengthened.

At eighteen, the girls were married. Shortly after, Manoa brought forward an idea for a treaty to bring the border skirmishes to a halt. Lord Douglas read it over and, after some revision, agreed to the terms. Together, Manoa and Joi spent some time travelling around Ovenica to the leaders of each Hold and personally inviting them to a meeting to discuss plans for peace. To the surprise of many, all the hold leaders showed up. Manoa and Joi lay out their plans and for the next two years the discussion turned from what the treaty contained to how to implement it. On twenty third day of the fourth month, in the year 766 AGW the final signatures were signed on the treaty. For the next thirty years Manoa and Joi worked tirelessly with the leaders of the other four holds until concrete border lines were drawn and skirmishes ceased entirely. During this time Soren Douglas passed away quietly and Joi took her father's place as ruler of Prathia hold, with Manoa by her side.

For forty five years Manoa and Joi ruled a peaceful hold. Together they increased trade with their neighboring holds and began making plans for the expansion of Harwood Citadel. But a dark shadow stretched over Prathia hold. With rumors of Undead circulating between the towns and Joi's advanced age Manoa is prepared herself for whatever terrible thing is about to begin.

Manoa, and her wife Joi, successfully stopped the border skirmishes in Ovenica. Though it was a long process it has ultimately made Ovenica a much safer place to live.

Manoa was a devout follower of The Mother.
