[edit] Summarized Personal Lore
After being exiled from her clan for personal and political reasons (she was shunned for taking a non-gnoll mate, and was seen as too much of a threat by the existing leadership for showing signs of Ankha's call), she was nomadic for many years. She survived mostly on mercenary work, as thieving was beyond her skill-set and no tradesman or artisan would take her as an apprentice. Over time, she grew in strength and knowledge, eventually joining the, "Horde of 1000 Faces." Though she originally had misgivings about joining any group after being a nomad for so long, she eventually made peace with the idea. She figured it would be an excellent opportunity to raid, pillage, and kill, just like in her old clan days. She was right.
After about one Horde Year, she was well and truly called by her patron goddess, Ankha. She initially assumed Ankha would not accept her because of her former clan's rejection of her partner, but this fear was unfounded. After performing the ritual of the gnarled root (and solidifying her bond with Ankha), she was given her clan name of, "Gnarlhyde." The name was derived from both the gnarled root, and her apprehension about joining the Clan of the Blind Star (hence, "hyde"). Joining the clan had two profound effects on Gnarlhyde: it brought her intimately close with her patron goddess, thereby granting her immense knowledge and awakening her magical ability, and also drove her just a little bit mad. Over the years, this has manifested as occasionally erratic behavior, use of the "gnarled root," / hallucinogens, and a deep-seeded desire to scheme, bordering on paranoia (e.g. to have a back-up plan for her back-up plan).

[edit] More Lore
Though Quinn is kept quite busy by her professional pursuits, she still finds time to write lore. A repository of said lore can be seen here.
