Editing Vanta Rolfe (section)

== Early Life ==
Vanta's birth parents are unknown. She was left, swaddled in old linens, in a laundry basket at the entrance to the Moonlight Orphanage in Kavonne in the winter of 4061 VR, where she was raised by the priestesses there. She was given the name "Vanta," which is a diminutive of the Elvish word for "black," vantassai.

During Alrenn's brief tenure within Kavonne during the Alrennean War, Vanta and the priestesses fled the city, traveling northward to Monitska. After Alrenn left to invade Garrod, they returned, and Vanta was left a few months afterward.

Moonlight was one of the few establishments in Dorian to openly worship and revere Avo, the "dead goddess," whose body is said to be the world itself. Thus, much of Vanta's early education was on the Living Gods of Dorian, particularly of Avo herself. However, Vanta disliked the urban environs of Kavonne and left the orphanage when she was sixteen. She traveled east for a year, spending significant time in the forests and fields of northern Akhentour as well as a long stint at Monitska, doing various tasks at the Temple of the Gods.

Eventually, she arrived in Urster and took a liking to the quaint lifestyle there. She made a home for herself in the nearby woods, making friends in the town slowly due to her tiefling nature. Urster considered itself a "free town" that anyone was allowed to live in, but prejudice existed nonetheless, and Vanta worked hard to present herself as the bright and bubbly tiefling she was.

=== Vision of Avo ===
While living in the woods, near her 18th birthday, Vanta saw a vision of Avo, as an enormous pale white humanoid woman, naked and crawling on all fours, wandering the forests at night. Vanta followed the vision through the woods, which traveled northward into the snow-covered forests of the Frigid North. It eventually stopped at what appeared to be an ancient graveyard, and there it sat and sang a discordant tone, which caused the long-buried skeletons beneath to rise up. Avo then continued north into the forest, with the skeletons. Vanta attempted to pursue but the bitter cold forced her to return south before she froze to death.

Vanta believed this to be a sign and began praying to Avo for celestial guidance. In return, Vanta was granted cleric powers which helped her protect the natural balance of the woods around Urster.
