Kara was born in the small town of Teshwave in the Moonsea region. Her parents never truly loved each other and her family was always poor. Most of the others in town would look down upon here family making Kara feel uncomfortable around them.
During the Year of the Banner the town was raided by followers of The Dark Sun. Homes burned to the ground, and people were slain in the streets. These wicked men broke into Kara's home, killed her parents, and attempted to abduct her. Panic stricken, Kara killed the man who broke in and remained hidden within the remains of her home for days.
One quiet night, just before dawn, Kara was awakened by the strangest sight. The sun was rising...but it was dark in color and had purple rays beaming out from it. As she looked around the bodies of the fallen rose up from the ground and started heading east along the River Tesh (unbeknownst to her...towards Zhentil Keep). As she continued to look around at the horror of the dead rising (apparently on their own) she turned quickly to go back inside her home, but was stopped as this hooded humanoid figure with nothing more than a skull for a head appeared before her...eyes blazing with violet flames.
Sweating and frieghtened Kara awoke to find the dead townfolk and soldiers missing. There were people in her town cleaning up from the recent battle, yet no signs of anyone collecting the dead.
She tried to sneak her way out of town when a cloaked figure approached her. The figure looked into her eyes and gave her a pendant. "Take this and head south. This will guide your way. Do not trust anyone who does not bear the mark of this pendant." As she looked at the pendant it resembled the image she first saw in her dream the previous night. Before she could thank the person the cloaked figure was gone.
Kara eventually snuck her way onto the next caravan heading south. Taking what she could to survive she eventually found some work as a locksmith and sneak, and usually kept more than her half of the treasure found.
Recently she has found herself in Cormyr where the pendant she's been given has blessed her with some small divine power. Unsure of her future Kara stalks the nights in search of wonderous items and to seek power as great as she has witnessed in her dreams.
