Thalei Covunetin

Thalei Covunetin

Thalei Covunetin was born late in the 2nd Age during the infamous Collapse of society’s norms where she was raised in a rural farming community. Her natural athleticism, coupled with a relentless determination, set her apart from her peers. It was in the fields, amidst the grueling labor, that she first discovered her affinity for weapons. Thalei would fashion makeshift weapons from farm tools and spend countless hours practicing her skills in secret, driven by an unquenchable thirst for exploration and a burning desire for justice. When the war of power broke, their community was conquered and the people taken, divided or killed. Thalei’s exceptional abilities were widely known, and the chance of capturing an unusually strong woman for the games was too tempting. She was thrust into the tumultuous world of the gladiatorial games—a place where life and death hung in precarious balance, and where legends were both made and shattered.

Under the tutelage of seasoned gladiators, Thalei honed her skills, dedicating herself to the relentless pursuit of perfection. She embraced a wide array of weapons, mastering the art of swordsmanship, axe combat, and hand-to-hand combat. Her physique, sculpted through intense training and unwavering discipline, became a symbol of strength and prowess in the arena.

When the games were disbanded due to the war’s worsening, the mightiest warriors were freed by an Aes Sedai. She was recruited into his army.
