Fayne was a fey'ri rogue who lived in Waterdeep. She was the product of a relationship between a Gold elf and a demoness. Fayne earned her coin through petty theft and by writing stories for a scandalous broadsheet known as the "Mocking Minstrel". She also undertook missions for her father Lilten, the high priest of Beshaba. Her real name came from the Elvish "elie en," which means "For Sorrow."
