Orienas, the half-elf priest of Serenrae, is barely worth mentioning; but brings three important things to the story of the twins:

• He is extremely virile and lasted longer than the Hag expected
• His mental fortitude did not match his confidence
• He was the son of a twin.

Wiedzma, an Annis Hag, likewise enters and leaves the story of the twins rather quickly but is worth mentioning because

• she chose not to make the twins into a tasty stew when they were born
• was a member of a coven that liked to gloat over their conquests of pious men by sending their belongings as trophies with the abandoned children
• decided to leave the twins, and the scimitar and holy symbol of Orienas, beside the burning embers of a Varisian caravan near the small city of Wortle.

The twins might have had been very happy living a nomadic life in a Varisan caravan but the caravan witch, being extremely superstitious, felt the pale fey twins were an evil omen. Too afraid to tempt the Fates and simply abandon them, the witch instead had them delivered to the first church they found in Turtleback Ferry; a church dedicated to Desna, run by a well respected hero, Kane.

Again as the Fates would have it, were the twins delivered to Kane without their father’s belongings, they may have found themselves raised under  the teachings of Desna. But Kane took the belongings as a sign and soon as they were old enough to travel, delivered them to Olexandr, a friend and follower of Serenrae.

The twins were raised within the confines of the church and for the early part of their lives only left under direct supervision. Their childhood was without merit or mention, until they hit their teenage years.

The church, aware of the calling that would eventually draw the twins to their Hag progenitor, decided to force-ably separate them in case one turned, they would not lose both. Shura immersed herself in her martial training to resist the Call. Sasha, did not as easily shake free of the Call which awoke in her some of her innate magical nature which she hid from the clergy. To mask the ability, she committed herself to her studies and clerical pursuits. Apart for the first time since they were born, the twins were devastated by the isolation and many months later when they were returned, swore to never be apart again.

At 18 the twins left the church to being their mission work. As an inquisitor and cleric, they were the judge and enforcer for the church of Serenrae. Sasha applied her talents for the Glory of Serenrae and excelled in representing the Church.  Shura committed her sword to Serenrae’s Truth, to purge the world of deception and misdirection.

Free to roam, the twins sought out Roderic’s Cove because it was the last known residence of their father.  They were uncertain if they wanted family or just understanding of where they came from. Either way their travels took them to Roderics Cove where they met Audrahni who eventually helped them find their search lead to the graves of their grandparents.

Since then they have remained in Roderic’s Cove to help defuse the conflict between the rival gangs working with the local law enforcement as mediators and additional trained “police”.
