Background:

Zerris was raised in a peaceful wood elf village deep in the forest. She showed an aptitude for magic at a young age and was sent to train with a powerful wizard who lived nearby. Under his tutelage, she honed her skills and eventually became a skilled wizard in her own right. However, she always felt a longing to explore the world beyond her village and eventually left to wander and seek new knowledge and experiences. During her travels, she stumbled upon a powerful magical artifact and has been keeping it a secret ever since. She is afraid that others may try to take it from her or use it for evil purposes.
