The Plucky Farstrider

Orlia was conceived and born out of wedlock to her mother Septina Shimmersong and father Clayre Winder. Their union was made out of scandal, as Septina was already married to another man at the time. She grew up primarily in a warlock-dominated family, with Clayre being a Quel'thalas ranger and mostly absent during her youth. Lia has a large family, most of which are still alive. She has had nine half (and full) brothers and sisters, but only one still lives that is known of. Raimine and Solstine, twin warlock sisters of Orlia were slaughtered by their own father at a young age. Lyren, one of her older brothers was killed during a petty duel with another warlock; Mynlia, another half-sister was eaten alive by her own fel hunter, Ruthingar (another half-brother) fell ill as an infant and never reached childhood. Jessalyn was Orlia's trusted adopted warlock sister, and was beloved in the Shimmersong family despite not being of blood. Unfortunately she and Orlia never were exceptionally close, and was killed by a member of the infinite dragonflight. This left the family heartbroken for quite a time, until her grave was mysteriously dug up and her corpse gone missing. It was later revealed by Orlia's brother-in-law, Davan, that Jessalyn was risen as a death knight and never made it with the other Knights of the Ebon Blade. It is currently unknown if she is dead or aligned with the Lich King. The other half-brothers and sisters had either died at birth or shortly after. Orlia's most notable and still living sibling is Marissa Shimmersong, once a warlock of the Horde. Marissa's current whereabouts are somewhat unknown, although it has been hinted that she may be living with Vajine De'Uden in their estate.
