Vestra was born in the astral plane. Her upbringing was that of fighting,and conquest. to better serve thier undead goddess. Most of her kind just dabbled in thier psionic abilities, but she decided to take those talents to the next level. In unwatched times the young githyanki would spend hours searching the meaning to her own exsistance. Conditioning her mind to withstand mental assault as well as unlocking other powers which lay dormant within every creature. While in the presence of others she would practice archery and spearwork. Finding those weapons more elequent then those large swords weilded by so many of her kind. Years pass, and she reached adulthood. Her body taking on those feminine curves and her mind well developed for what lay ahead. Her first mission. A mindflayer managed to break the veil and pass into her home plane, and she was given the job of killing the mortal enemy of her kind as a rite of passage. After weeks of travel, and few encounters with the more hostile dezitens of the astral plane she approached the collapsable dwelling. There to greet her were four large orcs. Axes heavy and armor thick. Changing blindly into battle. She did not even flinch as a ball of compressed air shot out into the orc causing armor to buck and bone to crush. She then felt somthing simliar to a knife stab into her very mind. Stepping back and wincing slightly. The illithid has struck and she felt her body weaken, but only slightly. The three brutes swinging at her with enraged howls. Her movements were stil quick however. Artfully dodging each swing she ran towards the tent where she was met by the squid headed monstrocity. She only had one blow before the other's were upon her, so with a her will emposed upon the thrust impaled the creature through the head. The shock of sensing thier master's demise caused the three to fall limp just outside. Returning with the severed head she was met with nods and put into the army. Years of battling outsiders, and conquering towns with little trouble were brought to the attention of the Lich queen. She being the very paranoid sort. Upon hearing those mental capabilities she ordered the woman be brought before her immediatly. News of her "Bounty" traveled quick, and soon met her ears. Running now. She new death was the only thing her dark queen gave to those she summoned before her, and she had a chance. Hearing tales of a gate not far from the colony. There was the place she sought. Bellowing monstrocities at her heels, and bolts passing over her figure spurred her onward. Soon she leaped through the swirling portal. To her death? Death did not consern her at all. becomming a mindless shell did. When the light diminished she found herself within the realm of Rhydin. Safe, but for how long?
