History: She was raised in a island tribe. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the island to a summer home near a large cave.

Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the island due to the painful memories there. Farideh took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up quarterstaff and armor she uses now. During her travels, Farideh and her party rested in a cavern that was (unknown to them) infused with powerful dark magic.
