Heydath Ilorca grew up amid the Techno-Wizardry of Arzno, attending school at the Arzno Weapons Manufacturing complex. Though Heydath excelled at academics, she found herself bored and frustrated by the applied magics courses. Abandoning her schooling, she instead joined the Arzno Mercenary Corps, where she found limited career opportunities as an intelligence officer.

When the AMC sent forces to aid Tolkeen, Heydath Ilorca accompanied the team as a liaison for Tolkeen’s D’Norr population. Disillusioned and horrified by the war, Ilorca resigned her commission and helped some of her fellow D’Norr escape to Magestar. From there, she joined some of the routed combatants seeking new purpose with the Tomorrow Legion.

Heydath Ilorca rose quickly through the ranks, using her intimate knowledge of Arzno to help prepare the Legion’s first diplomatic mission to the heretofore unknown potential ally. She led an expedition into the Magic Zone, finding great success at opening relations with various Fadetowns (even if her overtures toward Dweomer were largely unsuccessful). Though seen as a prim martinet by many of her colleagues, she nevertheless delivers results.
