Presenting Lauré by Yorzis (Patreon)

Lauré Tani is an interesting woman to say the least. Born in Pandorica, she is the child of mix cultured wahs; her father of Wakokujin ancestry and her mother Kheyeran.  A unrepentant gadabout, Lauré spent her younger days experiencing and taking all life had to offer. Enjoying the company of men and women in equal measure, though her romantic aspirations lean toward other ladykin. Even once earning banishment from her home town after breaking up the nuptials between to important lordlings by sleeping with them both.

The red panda spent years as a mercenary and sell sword in various Free Company's around Theria, travelling and adventuring all around. Even finding herself involved in intrigues and mysterious of the arcane before tragedy finally brought her back to the land of her birth.

After the death of her mentor and namesake, a Dalish Knight named Lauren Dalen, paramour to both her mother and father, Lauré decided to honor her hero's dying wish and travel to the Baronage of the Aster Barrens. The only land in Evandale that isn't lush with vegetation and sprawling green hills an valleys. 

Finding House Dalen to be stagnating under the leadership of the current Dalen Lord, a friendly, but rather absentminded jerboa named Paryn Dalen II. Though originally known for their pikeman and archers, the Knight's of House Dalen were seen to be in a sorry state. Many of there best knights being older Veterans whose best years were behind them.

Given that she'd already given at leas ta year of service to the Border Legion as a sellsword, Lauré was eligible to be knighted with a years more service under the Banner of House Dalen. The beautiful wah would become a knights errant for the House, travelling the lands and doing good in the lords name in order to raise the profile of the House and influence young Dalish who may want to come serve the House. 

Lauré's beauty and personality was just the thing House Dalen needed to attract the interest of young dalish warriors looking for a House to serve, but the red panda's greatest contribution to the reputation of House Dalen came later when in her mid twenties she became the Knight's master of the heir of all of Evandale; Adolyn Valenrow.
