Leah (of Oerth)

Leah is a invoker wizard known by her associates for an affinity with fire. Shew former adventurer from Oerth. She was also once the compatriot and lover of the paladin Durgannon Jerrate. However, she was kidnapped by an evil wizard. Durgannon and several other adventurers liberated her, but not before she lost her hand to a fiend conjured from the Abyss. The maiming was so cursed that no healing magic could restore her hand. She thus withdrew from the life of an adventurer.

Consumed with the desire to avenge Leah, Durgannon took a personal quest to enact retribution upon the evil wizard. Durgannon successfully took the wizard prisoner, ultimately murdering him. The act of murder caused Durgannon to fall from grace as a paladin. Consumed with shame, Durgannon refrained from seeing Leah for years.

Leah eventually married another person, though her husband turned out to be an abuser and oppressor, holding her captive against her will. She thus has sent a letter to Durgannon requesting extraction and liberation. This was enough to spur Durgannon and his associats into action, but they were taken to the Demiplane of Dread.
