.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The character is a human fighter/thief and female.
For the sake of the story they have gone through the game and the romance with Anomen and have chosen to stay as a mortal.
This starts sometime after the end of the game.

Athkatla ....
"Simply know that I love you Ailana and will always be at your side ... in peace and battle" Anomen had told her that while they had been trying to stop Melissan. She knew he spoke truely and that he would love her for as long as they both would live. At the time she hadn't though about the future as she had expected to die and the only thing that she wanted to ensure didn't happen was that her friends survived. She had been lucky as most of them had made it through the adventure unscathed only Jaheria had been lost. Ailana was aware that the half elf druid was happier in death than she had been in the two years since they had woken in Irenicus' dungeon to find that Jaherias husband had been murdered. Now that she had time to think Ailana was worried that she had made the wrong decision in allowing herself to care for the knight and to let him see those feelings. He was a knight of the Radiant Heart and a noble man. She was the daughter of the god of murder and leader of one branch of the thiefs guild. She wasn't worthy of him.
Anomen sat at his desk and concentrated on the paper work in front of him, the war between the children of the god Bhaal had had effects even in Athkatla which was many leagues to the north of cities like Saradush where the last battles had been fought. It was very difficult to concentrate however when Ailana was in the room, she was reading several letters which had arrived that morning from various friends that she had made over the time she had spent travelling around the country. She hadn't seen most of them in the six months since Melissan had been defeated. They were scatered all over the country, Ailana spent much of her nights in his house and most of her days in the guild house down on the docks. He had seen the increasing signs of restlessness in her over the last month and knew that she was soon going to be leaving to travel once more.
Ailana was aware of the fact that Anomen was staring at her and she concentrated very hard on the letter from Cernd to stop herself from blushing. She was well aware of the fact that she was engaged to Anomen and was surprised that he had not said anything to her about marriage since the final battle. She loved him and probably always would however she wanted to find out who exactly she was before making any lasting commitment. She knew who Ailana daughter of Bhaal was but the young woman free of that taint was someone else. She wanted to travel for a while and the idea of visiting her friends in the coutry was one that appealed to her. She didn't want to hurt Anomen though which she knew she would if she told him she wanted to be alone.
"Anomen, I have to go and see Renal." Ailana said at length when she couldn't cope with him staring at her anymore. If she was going to leave then she had to tell Renal so he could get someone else to run the guild for her.
"That is fine my darling. I shall wait with bated breath for your return." Anomen said and held his breath while she stood up. Ailana smiled at him before crossing the room and kissing him. Anomens enthusiastic response to the kiss was all that she'd hoped for, he tried to pull her into his lap and only succeded in almost knocking the ink stand over his papers.
"oops." Ailana said with a guilty look on her face.
"The papers are fine." Anomen said after looking at them in a worried fashion for a few seconds.
"Enjoy yourself while I'm gone." Ailana said pulling on a cloak as she headed out the room. Anomen wished she'd wear armour in the street as she had made enemies while in Athkatla and he wouldn't put it past one of them to try and kill her.

The docks ...
Renal Bloodscalp was having a bad day and it didn't look as though it was going to get any better, the previous night one of the brightest up and comers in the guild had been injured and arrested while trying to rob the Roenal estate, considering it was them Renal was surprised that the boy was still alive.
"Excuse me but guild misstress Ailana is here to see you." Relon said.
"Send her up." Renal said wondering what was wrong with Mae'Vars old guild
"Renal how are you?" Ailana asked bursting into the room
"Good mate and what brings you here?" Renal asked
"I'm leaving Athkatla for a while and you need to get someone else to be in charge while I'm gone." Ailana said not beating around the bush something that had characterised her relationship with Renal
"How long for?" Renal asked
"I don't know. Anyway I might give up the thieving thing when I get back so I can marry." Ailana said
"Will your knight wait for you while you are gone?" Renal asked knowing Anomen for as long as he had known Ailana
"I hope so. If not then I know where we stand." Ailana said
"He does love you. The only reason he isn't pressing for marriage is that he knows you need time to get over what happened down south." Renal said.
"I hope that is all it is. Not second thoughts."

The Firecam estate ...
"You will look out for him while I'm gone won't you my friend?" Ailana said.
"I will. Are you sure that this is the right thing to do?" Keldorn asked his scared face looking at her concerned.
"I need to just travel for a bit. I will be back within a year." Ailana promised her friend.
"He needs you as much as you need him just don't let anything happen to you as I do not know what Anomen will do."
.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The following morning ...
Ailana awoke early and coould feel Anomen still asleep next to her. She quietly pulled on plae brown breeches and a light purple tunic before brushing her brown hair. Her boots she had picked up in the Sahaugin city and protected her from non-magical weapons. She looked at her engagement ring and decided to keep it with her so it didn't look like she was just leaving Anomen.
She placed a note on the pillow where he would find it when he awoke. Her pack was ready packed next to his downstairs as both expected to be callled away at a moments notice. She pulled it on and with a final regretful look at the stairs she left the house and headed towards the gates of Athkatla.
Anomen woke a few hours later and rolled over to look at Ailana to find she was not there. Instead a note rested on the pillow, sitting up her opned it and read it.
"My dear Anomen. I need to find out who I am again. The last five years of my life have been mad and meeting you was the best part of them. I will be back within a year so don't worry. I love you and always will. Please don't try and follow me as I don't wish for you to be hurt. All my love Ailana." It was strange how 7 sentences could change a life so quickly. Anomen read the letter again and knew that she wasn't going to come back. Forgetting his 24 years of life and the fact that he was the Lord of the Delryn estates Anomen sat in his empty bed with his head on his knees and wept.

What do you think?
Though that could go on its own I would like to carry on with it. I would appreciate feedback however before I carry on. I know Anomen and Keldorn acted slightly strange but I needed them to. If I carry on then more familiar faces will crop up.
