------------- New World – Nature vs Nurture

In the old world, Helena and Alexandra Andropopolis were inseparable. Twins, Sisters of the Pearl, and much more over the years. But without the aid of the Shadows, the two main forces that shaped their lives, the power of Lolth, and the alliance of the Sisters of the Pearl with the Warpriest of Ares, evaporated. Their quantum counterparts were lost in a space-time rift during Lolth’s Incursion into Dragaard. They reappeared many years later, and spent their lives battling the corruption in their own sisterhood, until Ares was slain and Aphrodite gave up her power to Aeriel. They became Aeriel’s first priestesses.

The new world though led them down a very different path. They never disappeared, because Lolth’s Incursion never happened. However, like many of their friends of the Silver Gryphon, they gained near immortality, stretching their youth far beyond normal. Like Queen Amanda and Tawny Steward, they didn’t seem to age a day even though they lived for more than a century. And unlike their quantum counterparts, they eventually grew apart. Alexandra, a WarMage, trained like the Queen, as a Paladin and an Erotic, returned to the east, to Mauritius, to train with the warmasters of Ares, becoming a legendary warrior and seductress. It was she who eventually faced the evil Queen Lithia of Hermaphros and claimed the throne again for the children of Hermaphrodite. At length, the twins were reunited, but they were very different people by then. Alexandra’s natural strength and will had made her a much harder person.

But that is another story.
