Her adventuring career began shortly after the death of her parents, when she met Laric Majere (the Sod-Buster) and his outlaw companions. She left Tigora with them rather than search for her parents' murderer, and has since fallen deeper and deeper into the underworld. She is currently involved with Andreas, one of Narcisse's (the region's largest crime-lord) top Lieutenants, though she is cheating on him with a misguided city guardsman named Dack. Alorna is likely to be the cause of Dack's death as she has been various other men with whom she has been involved.
