Background ~ Before her birth, Wren's father, Fane Vitteri, lead an uprising against the Tyrant who had subjugated the Varisian's for decades as indentured slaves. Normally a nomadic peoples, they had been forced to tend the Tyrant's land as payment for a past slight long forgotten. Over the years they had tried to revolt, but the Tyrant's magic was too potent. To secure his victory, Fane made a secret pact with a Green Hag who lived in the region ~ he would give her a child for her aide. She agreed and the shackles were cast off, the Tyrant defeated. But when the time came to pay her price, Fane broke his pact and kept the child. With the help of the clan's priest, they cast the hag away but not before she placed a hex on Merla, Fane's wife who died a week later. Wren was raised by her Aunt- Jocasta, a hedge witch who trained her as a healer and taught her the ways of the harrow deck.

As they tried to rebuild their caravan and gather supplies to move on, a blight struck the land killing all the crops and livestock. They were forced to abandon their wagons and march on foot into the nearby mountains hoping to find food and water. They wandered for 10 years, chased by the blight and other misfortunes as the hag drove them away from safety. Always, just when it seemed all would be lost, the hag gave them a reprieve, sometimes weeks, sometimes years before yanking hope from them. Once such reprieve was a mountain vale with verdant fields and clear water, but the hag and her coven were waiting there with a clutch of harpies to capture the Varisians. Their journey was at an end as the harpies rounded them up and forced them into servitude. To escape capture, Jocasta leapt from a cliff and feather fell to safety, flinging hexes at the pursuing harpies. Jocasta used her magic to cloud Wren's memories of the past to spare the child the nightmares of their past. They escaped to Riddleport where they served a healers over the next 7 years before Jocasta felt Wren was old enough to hold her own as a healer and witch. She left to try and set her people free, but not before leaving Wren her harrow deck and telling her that she would leave Arcane Marks in the towns she passed through should Wren need to find her - she hasn't seen Jocasta since.

Wren began her life as a wanderer, looking for her aunt and making her way from hamlet to city working odd jobs- harrower, barmaid, cook, healer, tinker, peddler.. but never staying more than half a year. She always leaves an account on the walls of inns of her travels and plans always looking for signs of her aunt but finding none.
