Maeve was one of the Six Fugitives of Alderwood, a group of teenagers from Riverbend, Saint's Crossing, and the Bartok-Barrow mines who left their homes to join the sylvan troupe of Oberhasil in the heart of Alderwood.[1]
Biography
Maeve grew up crawling on the floorboards under the tables of The Weary Traveler in Saint's Crossing. Her father, Lunn, the innkeeper, was always busy with a packed house of drunken merchants, workers, and other patrons. Her best memories from her childhood were of the occasional bard that would perform there. As soon as she was able, she began working as a serving girl at the inn and tended to the bar when her father was otherwise busy. When he was, she would keep a coin or two from her tips, eventually saving up enough to buy a small harp. After much practice, she would perform at the inn during times when her father was absent. Oberhasil's invitation came to her just after she had a fight with her father after he caught her slipping a coin into her palm. She brought her harp with her when she left.
