Lady Karina Shatten Jager, Knight of the Crown
Lady Karina Shatten Jager, is
the last of the Shatten Jager society and line. Having traced her
name all the way back to Crysania Laurentine, Grand Master
Shatten Jager, who was alive 30 centuries before.
Her mother expected a lot from her before she
died. Her dad left her family when she was only 5. Him being a
Jager too, but nothing has been heard from him for awhile. He is
considered to be dead now. Originally from a different plane of
existence, the Shatten Jagers had to flee their world at the last
temovenic wars which was 29 centuries ago, but Crysania
Laurentine and the legendary heroes were awoken from their cursed
sleep. Only were they finally given eternal peace in the arms of
death after the Temovenic war and opening a portal to a unknown
world called Krynn. They landed in the lands of Solamnia. Before
the heroes died they were found by a group of Solamnic Knights,
led by Lord Oswal of Baxtry then the High Warrior, master of the
Order of the Crown.
During their stay in Lord Baxtry's land the
Shatten Jagers tried to befriend most of the knights. But being
users of magic they were despised. In the second Dragon War they
fought in secret. Most of the races on Krynn thought they were
renegade arch mages going against the laws of mages.
Paladine having never seen these kind of
people before, and thinking they were new creations of Takhisis
because of the dark colors and the way they had foreign powers,
struck them down too late to realize they were fighting for the
side of good.
By then there was 100 people left from an original of over 3000.
After the Dragon Wars, feeling betrayed, the
Shatten Jagers moved to Istar, where centuries later they were
banished by the kingpriest of Istar claiming them to be minions
that would would bring down the human race of Ansalon. The
Shatten Jagers slowly started disappearing, trickling down to
smaller numbers. They were finally accepted as a people in
solitude, missing their homelands.
Karina moved from home right after her mother
died, at the age of 17. Forgetting her past she travelled with a
group of mercenaries from the city of Tarsis to the great city of
Palanthas only with a wooden sword to defend herself. One of the
first people she met in Palanthas was Sir Agravain de Galis
Knight of the Rose. He helped her improve in her fighting skills
and the arts of magic, and also saving her in times of need. He
also started teaching her about the Knights of Solamnia, because
she had such a fascination and many questions about them. Karina
was always telling him one day she'll become a knight. Karina
spent the next 3 years of her life travelling around Krynn
grouping with people, making new friends. Learning techniques
while improving her still needed skills.
For unknown reasons she was always hunted down
by a group of people who called themselves "shriners".
She never had anything they really wanted. She finds herself some
nights just walking out of the local inn and ambushed by them.
Though many things have set her back through her years she
strived to become a Knight of Solamnia, following their code and
measure before becoming a knight. At the age of 21, Karina spent
3 weeks searching for Sir Kay as Sir Agravain said he was going
on a long journey that he may never return from, and told her to
seek out Sir Kay. Finally she found Sir Kay Pendragon, and he
told her to go search for a man named Lord Justinian Silverguard,
High Justice of the Solamnic Knighthood, to ask him the great
priveledge of becoming his squire.
Karina's quest for Squireship was to locate
the solamnic chainmail and retrieve it from the evil forces
guarding it. Her Knight of the Crown quest was to find and
destroy the "Wings of Sorrow."
Lady Karina Shatten Jager continues her many
travels usually helping people in need in the lands of Krynn.
