In-game biography
"When asked about her past, Nalia is a bit hesistant. She comes from a wealthy land-owning family headed by the Lord d'Arnise and while she speaks about relatives with affection, the fact of her upbringing seems to embarrass her at the same time. Nalia crealy identifies more with the 'poorer classes'... but also looks upon them with the eyes of the privileged. She has been educated and taught the magical arts, as per her dead mother's wishes, but Nalia stated that her years of sneaking out of the castle have taught her the other side of life as well. She still has much to learn about life beyond the castle, however, and she knows it... and she is sure adventuring is the answer."

Relationships
Nalia and Viconia are complete opposite about poor people.

Involved in subquests
