She was born in the 9th century B.C. in the Western Continent, in the east coast port city of Brava. To be more accurate she was born at sea; her father was captain of a trade ship that made regular runs across the Trade Sea which separated the Western and Eastern continents.
She was born at sea and it was to the sea that her heart ever lay. She grew up on her father's ship and by the time she took Adult Passage she had forgotten more about ships than most people will ever know. She became a highly respected sea captain and went on several voyages. She was an avid explorer with an intense interest in both history and geography. One thing that particularly drew her interest was the Storm Sea

Thousands of years before (circa 9000 B.C.) the northern coastal areas of the Western and Eastern Continents had suffered the Cataclysm a series of cataclysmic earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Virtually every hill was split apart, filling the air with ash and fire and belching lava. Entire areas near the coast collapsed and fell into the sea, forever altering the shape of the land.
Both regions suffered periodic eruptions and upheavals for 1000 years. The damage was particularly severe in the Western Continent. The land area eventually stabilized and the volcanic eruptions resulted in great fertility of the soil enabling the Valo Hills region to become a major breadbasket for the continent. However for thousands of years the Storm Sea north of it were rendered virtually impossible to sail through, forcing ships in that area to stay close to the coastline.
In Rashel’s time, global wind patterns changed. She believed that it would now be possible to travel across the Storm Sea and eventually put together an expedition of five ships. They set out from the port city of Illefa in the Valo Hills Peninsula in 800 B.C., traveling due North.

The fleet traveled slowly but surely. They ran into several storms and one ship was lost but they continued on. Eventually they made an incredible discovery- a new land, the Northern Continent. Completely different from the desert lands of the south, it was covered in forests and had more vegetation than any of the crews had seen in their lives.

The quickly made a second incredible discovery- this land was inhabited. Inhabited by pale skinned Nlians. The meeting was cautious but peaceful and both sides learned to communicate, the fact that both were telepathic helped.

When the Cataclysm occurred thousands of years before, there had been several nomadic tribes living in the Valo Hills Peninsula, including small fishing communities by the coast. When the destruction occurred many of the tribes had either perished or fled south. Four villages of fishers from the north eastern coast had fled the destruction in their tiny boats. They had traveled northeast, following the migratory patterns of the White Gliders and had discovered and settled the Northern Land, which they called the Evergreen. They painted the history of their origins and journey in the caves not far from where they landed, which ironically wasn't far from where Rashel's fleet landed.

Descendants of those fishers had, since then, spread out and settled all the different regions of the tiny continent. The inhabitants of the South hadn’t believed that anyone had survived the Cataclysm. And the refugees had believed that everyone other than them had perished in the destruction.
If this encounter had taken place on Earth it would very likely have resulted in violence, tragedy, conquest, slavery or displacement. But even before the Cataclysm, all Nlians had thought of each other as brethren and when the two groups met at last, they saw this as a reunion of long separated brethren.

Valeena’s discovery began The Time of the Three Kindreds when there was regular travel and commerce between all three continents. She went down in history as Storm-challenger and Kinfinder

The area of the Storm Sea between the Western and Northern Continent was renamed the Sundering Sea because for so long it had sundered brethren. The area where both groups came ashore became the site of the city of Soarliss
