the early years of tsaer's life were unremarkable amongst his people. born in the beautiful and secluded aerie of snow eagles to loving parents, he spent the early years of his life immersed in the two different parts of society, eventually choosing the warlike path of a ranger. his youth was idyllic and peaceful, and he was proud of his birthright and his heritage. he was the light of his parents' lives and he felt that every day of his life. everything changed, though, when his father died. his mother became distant and withdrawn, changing daily, until he no longer recognized her. quietly, one night, she disappeared completely.
tsaer did his best to move on with his life. the rest of the elves in his home raised him, and for a time, he was happy. it was only a matter of time, though, before old hurt bubbled to the surface and became impossible to ignore. what had happened to his mother? why had she changed, and why had she left? tsaer was not content to live without these answers, and so, when he thought he was ready to find them, he bid farewell to his home and set off.
what he learned, though, did not bring him peace. his mother was gone, and had been long before she died. he learned, though, that he had a sister, or a half-sister, rather. unsure how to feel about this new information, he put off the confrontation as long as he could. he knew in his heart, though, that he couldn't avoid her forever, and some year after the bhaalspawn wars ended, he sought her out. it was more difficult than he thought to meet her, this girl who had saved the world and still found her own love and happiness, and he could not help resenting her for things he knew were not her fault. still, she was happy to meet him, and determined that they would overcome the difficulties their new relationship faced. and, over time, they did, and she became his family more than anyone else had ever been, as it was always meant to be.
