Maurine Franknorth

Maurine Preston, as a young woman and orphan was wandering near a construction site when she heard roaring. The followed the sounds and saw her future husband, Thomas, fighting a huge beast with three heads, one like a goat, one like a lion, and one like a snake. The beast, a chimera, saw her and went for her instead, as she was defenseless. Thomas, however, rendered it unconscious. She had to see him kill it, for it would simply attack more people so close to humanity. However, she fell in love with him. She met his friend, Abadaba, a jinni, after she was given the sight. She grew to be a great fighter with the quarterstaff, trained by Thomas, who used the sword. They married, and she grew pregnant with Colby, Toby, Joshua, and Jonathan. She trained them in fighting and taught them of glamour and the creatures that have it after Thomas was captured by dark elves. After rescuing him, they fought Dirthrundil, a great dragon that wanted to kill Thomas. They succeeded, but the Black Diamond, a precious jewel, was taken by the dark elves, and they tried to start Ragnarok, but their attack was stopped by Maurine and the rest of her family.
