Nyrendra's father, Aleuth Ketrene was a great elven cleric of Hanali Cenanil. Her mother, Esmerthie was reknowned far and wide for her skills with the bow. Nyrendra takes after her father more than her mother inasmuch as she'd rather be in a temple or library pouring over tomes than trapesing about in the wilderness.

Aleuth was asked by his church to go to Athkalta to minister to the faithful there, and to spread the doctrine and teachings of Hanali Cenanil to the human populace. Nyrendra was born in the temple and grew up just a stone's throw away in a cozy little abode near the outskirts of the Government District.

When Nyrendra was reaching puberty, strange things began to happen to her. It started when one of the neighborhood kids wouldn't stop calling her pointy-ears. Nyrendra could feel the anger building up in her then all of a sudden -woosh- out it went in a puff of hot air, catching the brat's trowsers on fire. It was amusing for all of two seconds, which was precisly how long it took for the Cowled Wizards to teleport onto the scene.

Since the only serious harm had been to the boy's pants-seat, the wizards let her off with a scolding and a warning never to use magic again. However, as she continued to grow older she could feel her powers growing, and she struggled to keep them from escaping her grasp again.

After the flaming-pants incident, Nyrendra grew increasingly withdrawn and was constantly ostracized by her peers. She had few friends, but those she had loved her for her kindness, patience and loyalty. She spent much of her spare time reading, writing and studying, and thus becoming very wise for her years.

Finally, fearing the ire of the Cowled Wizards, Nyrendra's parents decided to leave Athkalta. They settled in a small villiage near Candlekeep, to which Esmerthie became ranger protector. There the small family lived in peace and happiness for several years.

This state of bliss was shattered rather abruptly when a band of hobgoblins lais seige to the village. Nyrendra managed to lead a group of the young, old and sick to saftey. The others, including Aleuth and Esmerthie stayed behind to fight the group of maurading hobgoblins, who were under the service of a mysterious, dark figure. While Sarevok did not activly participate in the destruction of the villiage, he watched it all from a distance with cold, cruel eyes.

When Nyrendra and the others returned to their villiage the next day, they were shocked and horrified to find the once peaceful and beautiful dirt lanes were littered with their dead neighbors, kinsmen and friends. All who had stayed behind were slaughtered.

After she burried her parents, Nyrendra left the villiage for she felt there was no reason for her to stay. On the road she met Imoen and Gorion's ward. Learning that they were tracking the same monster who had stood by while his troops had slaughtered her parents and half her villiage, Nyrendra offered her skills as a sorceress to help track Sarevok. She has been traveling with the group ever since.
