Myrkyssa Jelan was a regional warlord and not much was known about her except that she was female, extremely ambitious, had multiple identities, and threatened the city of Ravens Bluff twice between the years of 1337 and 1347 DR. Her first attempt, using diverse forces such as orcs, ogres, and giants, as well as mercenary companies, failed largely because of the caliber of citizens inhabiting Ravens Bluff. Her army went down in defeat at the Battle of Fire River, and she disappeared, not appearing again until two years later.
