Though Naoi speaks rarely of her origins, her chilled mannerism and simple-minded intensity have led others to cultivate the idea that she hails from Sun's Keep, a theory that she has admitted as true once or twice. What little else is known that her place of birth is East Leg, shortly before the Wildling Raid nearly razed the city to the ground, and would had if not for the timely work of the Imperial Cavalry, the City's Garrison of Blades, and the Scourges near at hand. That would place her birth nearly eighteen years back. One such being was close to hand in the Zahiran Count Thayndor.
