Born in Telaar when that village was merely a holding in the northern foothills of the great Nagrand plain, Mlakazar's childhood was pleasant. Her father was a Vindicator, and her mother enjoyed fashioning garments and selling them at the local market for pocket money to purchase pleasantries to adorn the house. She had two siblings - a brother and sister, and after her brother entered his novitiate in Shattrath, Mlakazar too made the journey to the holy city to take on the mantle of a warrior of the Light.
