Gathering Shadows War. War never changes, just ask Ron Perlman. It does change people, though. Back before the return of the Sidhe and the Accordance War, Iolhinn was just a commoner Pooka like any other - carefree and mischevious, without too much of a vicious streak... or perhaps she just hid it well. As war broke out, though, she took up arms along with her fellow commoners to defend the freedom they'd grown accustomed to. What exactly she did during the war is not public knowledge, but it wasn't pretty... war rarely is. In Blackest Night After the war, Iolhinn was left embittered towards the predominantly Seelie Houses that had led the invasion. The Night of Iron Knives had resulted in the permanent deaths of several long-time friends of hers; she'd only missed the fateful meeting herself due to being a prisoner of war at the time, having been captured by a group of Satyrs loyal to House Fiona a short time before. Little surprise, then, that she turned to the Unseelie houses after her release, marrying a noble of House Ailil and being absorbed into the nobility herself as a result. Now, a lifetime (and a dead husband) later, she's risen to the ranks of House Ailil's foremost diplomats and politicians, serving as an advocate of peaceful social progress... officially.
Ever since the eventual death of her Sidhe husband, now-Baroness Iolhinn has taken over custody of his Freehold. From her seat at the Court of Stars deep underground, she rules over the Barony of Starlit Caverns, a small but excessively wealthy Barony within the County of the Emerald Dale. Her hospitality is well-known, and any Kithain and Kinain is generally welcomed there... again, officially.
