Maddleliah
Maddleliah comes from a rich merchant family in Aserai. She was raised by her father, because her mother died bringing her into this world. As a little girl she was already making hearts of great warriors melt, for her charm and grace was too much to handle for every man. People say that when she walks, it seems as if she's dancing with angels. However, she the charming little creature only beasue her father wished her so, but she was a brawny little girl. Nevertheless she complied with her father's wishes and attented feasts with him and studied numers, beacuse her father wished her to not only marry well, but also for her to be able to turn a profit herself if a need would arise. At the age of 13 she started sneaking out every night to pracitce sword fighting with her friend, Firello, who was a son of a hunter, and his way with a sword was really impressive. So they practiced together, evey night. At day she was studying number, and during the nights she was fencing with her friend, untill her father died, she loved the poor soul dearly, and his death made her abondon her way of a sword and put more attention to studying and becoming a great engineer of her time, she still spent a lot of time with her friend, who was like a brother to her.
When she was almost 20 summers old, Firello decided to to join aserai army as an archer. Maddleliah wanted to stop him, but it was all in vain, he would never give up fighting for his country especially against the Kuzait filth. After few months she heard that Firello is now a prisoner of war, and that he is being held captive in a city of Odokh. She wanted to pay ransom and free her friend, but she received a reply that they would not ransom him, at that moment she realised she had to do something. So she decided to form an army of mercenaries from the fortune her father left her, and she would ride and siege Odokh and either free her friend or burn the whole city. She rode leading an army of 400 men, and when she reached Odokh she started laying siege to the city. She knew a lot of about engineering, so she ordered her men to start building siege camp, and in the meantime she demanded to speak with the man in charge of Odokh, he refused to even meet her, because he heard about her beauty and charm, and decided not to take any chances, for he was afraid that he would became her slave hoping that one day she would marry him.
And now she knew that she has to destroy the city before the Kuzait reinforcments arrive. She knew she had time, beacuse last she heard Kuzait main forces were leading offensive against Sturgians in the north. After the camp was ready, she ordered her men to start bulilding trebuchets and balistas, she had all the plans and overlooked every single construction. She gave the Kuzaits one more chance to free Firello, but they would not. She gave orders to put trebuchets in shooting distance, she double checked her calculations and when she was sure that everything is in the right place, she ordered the destruction of the city. And so the stone projectiles started flying. The walls were breached pretty fast, and so her army made for the garrison, a lot of blood was spilled that day, and the city surrendered when it was already on its knees. Her men searched for Firello, but found only parts of his body, Kuzaits dismembered him. She only took Firello's penis to keep as a souvenir, and gave orders to destroy every inch of the city, kill every person rape every woman, and take every child prisoner to sell them into slavery. She took only a hanful of guards and headed home. Now that she was friendless and without any family, she decided to spent the rest of her life inventing new machines of war, but truthfully she just wanted to await her death in peace.
