Silveth is an elf born in the Faerie plane, where she was told she was destined to be a protector of said plane. Her upbringing involved much in the way handling weapons and training in strength as she worked her way up in life to become the soldier they wanted her to be. Being part fey however she has the natural curiosity they often possess. On days where time allowed she often went out exploring on her own, far beyond what was deemed safe; she was a skilled fighter after all, which made her rather fearless in most aspects.
It was on one of these travels she encountered ancient markings which after many years of studying them off and on she learned to contain magic in the form of runes. This discovery was not one that was taken in kind when she revealed she had attempted to inscribe runes into her armor. In fact, it was deemed so blasphemous that she was punished by ways of exile to the Material Plane. Not to return until she learned the value of what it means to protect the Fearie plane.
This of course was much less of a punishment to her than they thought, as adventuring in the Material Plane brought her many new discoveries and most of all more time for herself..
