The Spelljammer that Aradhi crewed was attacked and destroyed by an Eldritch Lich while traveling in the Astral Sea. Lying broken next to the helm, she was attacked by the far realm parasite but was able to fight it off, but not before becoming infected by its aberrant touch. Lapsing in and out of lucidity, her fever dreams of home drew her back to the place where she came of age, near Chult in the Forgotten Realms. Coming to in Port Nyanzaru, she found that the parasite had changed her, revealing the secrets of hemocraft to her. She hears the whispers of the One Who Dwells beyond the Astral Sea, and is unknowingly a pawn in their oblique machinations.
I was inspired to create this character initially in order to look at the Blood Hunter class as I'm not really familiar with Critical Role content, but when I discovered they also had a potential connection to Old Ones, I decided to cast her as another one of OWD's pawns out in the planes, however unwilling at this point.
