Neverwinter Forest Destiny was close behind her,

"In my homeland of the Orchid, when you are a year old, you are given the choice to explore, or remain as a warrior or maiden," the mother started to explain, "I always dream to explore and see the world." Miriam couldn't deny the ambition, if there was on selfish reasoning, it was she wanted to see and explore. 

An eternal map in one's mind, "To gain experiences I would never have had at home- but suppose I had gotten that wish." While there was regret, Miriam did love her children. It was not meant to be, especially as an unwed woman with not bastard children, but her love for them would not dimish. She wouldn't leave them until they were older.
