Background: Elissa was born 'Nayeli' in the city state of Draj, under the rule of Tectuktitlay in Free Year 2. She was born to a slave family of a minor noble house and her father served in the family's militia. Her father was able to distinguish himself and win much glory for the house, whose scion was without an heir.

A senior templar, coveting the lands taken over by a former slave, accused Elissa's father of murdering his patron and condemned him to death. The templar took Elissa and her mother as his personal concubines. Just after her 11th birthday, Elissa's mother tried to flee with her to a nearby village, but they were caught.

Having had a taste of life as a slave and briefly living a life of freedom with her family before her father's arrest has given Elissa a sense of what life could have been for her and her family were it not for the cruelty of the masters of Draj. She endured captivity and abuse for years, until her 14th birthday, when she convinced her templar master that she loved him back, and convinced him to marry her and replace his wife.
