Like Zephaniah, Liana was abandoned at birth. They grew up in the same orphanage. Unlike Zephaniah, Liana was not adopted.  Hebron is one of the most technologically advanced cities in the entire Gedaliah Confederation. Unfortunately, sin is universal. The orphanage staff mistreated the children. Liana, eventually, runs away. She currently lives in Absalom, a smaller nearby city.
