Aleigha Ericsdotter
Human, Ranger
Aleigha came from common folk and is fighting to find her place in this world. She is one of the last female descendants of the legendary warrioress, Spartusia Ericsdotter. Her parents tried very hard to raise her to live her life as a farmer’s daughter. Sadly, this pretty young adventuress was bitten by a werebear and inflicted with lycanthropy when she was sixteen. Since then, she has spent the last three years drifting from village to village, helping the local peasants. She moves on whenever peasants or soldiers come too close to discovering her secret. She will do almost anything to find a cure for her affliction. She has offered you her services in exchange for your help in removing her curse.

Special Equipment
The Sword of Spartusia
The blade of this sword was crafted from a single flawless ruby. Tales speak of a race of
ancient red dragon worshippers creating this sword for Spartusia because she saved their queen dragon from vengeful knights of other lands. The sword was given a trim and womanly appearance both in size and beauty to match the beauty of Spartusia, and a bite that was deep to match her courage and strength.
This wondrous, ruby.bladed magic sword once belonged to the legendary female warrior,
Spartusia Ericsdottir. The sword is believed to be cursed; a curse that caused it to constantly search for a true female descent of Spartusia. The sword has had many owners, most of whom died horrible or embarrassing deaths. Recently there have been stories of the sword reemerging from unknown depths, and it is now in the hands of a Aleigha.
What little history is known about the sword tells of Spartusia being swallowed up by the earth. The sword resurfaced many years later while a group of natives were burying their old chief. The new chief claimed that it was a gift from their gods to him. However, three years later his wife murdered him and his mistress with the sword and then threw the sword and herself off a cliff into the raging sea.
The sword turned up about 100 years later in a fishing village. The whole village was burned to the ground by a horde of barbarians not long afterwards. After that its fate was unknown until it came to be in the possession of Aleigha Ericsdotter.
The ruby bladed sword appears valuable, but is cursed so that it cannot be sold..it must be given away (or thrown away). If a character attempts to sell the weapon (no matter how carefully or roundabout), the sword will find its way back to the character, and the selling price will be lost. The sword also brings disaster upon any owner who is not a true descendant of Spartusia (as Aleigha is).
This weapon is an artifact, and the method of its creation is unknown, and cannot be reproduced.
