History

Camille Dilisnya was born to Lev Dilisnya and Anna Kurdzeil in Mordent in 662 BC. Her brother was Richtor Dilisnya and her half-brothers through her father were Oleska Dilisnya, Stepan Dilisnya and Yakov Dilisnya. She married Siegfried Grymig in 681 BC. Three years later she discovered that he was having an affair and she poisoned him to death in what would soon prove to be the seminal event that gave birth to Borca and made her its Darklord. She was sent to distant kin in Invidia by her parents to protect her from pursuit by the legal authorities of Mordent. En route, she was taken by the Mists and Borca revealed itself to her.

As a darklord, Camille was blessed. She could craft (poisonmaking) any poison she could imagine, though she was not immune to them herself. She was also cursed. Anyone who she trusted completely would betray her. She took three more husbands. Klaus Boritsi was married in 688 BC. He fathered three children. And he was gruesomely poisoned to death together with his mistress in 697 BC. Camille made use of a bizarre contact poison that merged his skin together with that of the adulterous chambermaid. Stephan Taryon was married in 697 BC. He quickly took a mistress and fled the country. And Oleh Fortich was married in 698 BC. He wasted little time in attempting to kill Camille. He failed in this, claimed that he was acting at the instigation of her family, and was poisoned to death. At his funeral, Camille poisoned to death the nigh entirety of her branch of the Dilisnyans, including her father Lev, her mother Anna, her brother Richtor, her half-brothers Oleska, Stepan and Yakov, and Tadeusz Paldo.

When Ivana fell in love, Camille was incensed at her daughter finding that which had eluded her for so long. Camille disguised herself as Ivana and seduced Ivana's true love, then claimed he had seduced her, thereby proving in Ivana's eyes that all men were evil. Ivana took the lesson to heart, and killed Pieter by saturating her own body with a virulent poison. Two years later, she assassinated her mother and became the new ruler and Darklord of Borca.
