Description
A young avian girl stands here, her form hunched over as if she is
fearful of what might show up in front of her. As she lifts her
head slightly, you see that she resembles a hawk in almost all her
features beyond the way she carries herself. She has dark feathers
that are almost the black of the darkest night. The plumage on the
top of her head crests into a point that almost seems to resemble a
crown of feathers sticking up towards the sky. Bright golden eyes
contrast against the sea of darkness that is her coloring and they
move back and forth as if they are trying to see everything at once.
Forming a triangle with the two golden orbs is the beak of a hunter,
one that seems ready to tear into the flesh of her enemies at a
moment's notice. It is pointed and looks deadly and sharp. As you
look further upon this figure, you notice the dangerous talons that
sit at the end of her legs are those meant to dig into her prey.
The last thing you notice is the thing that stands out the most
about this figure... her wings, while black on the top sides of
them are matching the other feathers of her body, the undersides
are pure white and seem to show a contrasting nature about her. As
you look upon her closer, you see she wears various pieces of armor
to protect her body.
Role
The Fear of the Storm - The Girl Cowers
Added Thu Feb 10 18:32:34 2022 at level 9:
A young girl shivers in the night, the covers over her plume-topped
head and avian body the only thing that is there to show that she
even exists underneath the protective coating she clings to. Her
wings vibrate quickly as a crack of thunder erupts and the room she
is in is lit up by a flash of lightning. The rain outside beats
down on the roof of the hovel that is on the lowest level of the
avian city where the poorest of the arial live. With every gust of
wind that shakes the walls of the barely-standing dwelling, the
young girl lets out a whimper full of fear and despair.
As the young girl's mind races from the fear and the adrenaline that
courses through her body, her mind wanders to the past and the path
that led her to this place and time. Her first memories were of the
elements and the fear they inspired in her. The wind would blow her
wings every time she would unfurl them making her afraid to fly very
high. The water, the first time it splashed her face, surprised her
so much that she avoided it from that moment forward. The first time
she saw lightning, she immediately threw herself into mother's arms
and covered her body with her wings. Yet, even with these natural
tendencies of the arial race, she found that she was fearful of even
the other elements. She looked upon the element of ooze and could
only imagine the inescapability of it if she were caught in it. The
heat of the fire filled with the fear of burning her skin and her
delicate feathers. The ice that sometimes formed upon the mountain
home she lived on would cause her wings to feel as if they could not
move and she knew her wings, even in the fearful wind, were her only
hope of escape. And as one who looked upon the open air as her real
sanctuary, the idea of being placed upon or within the earth forever
filled her with genuine terror.
The Shackles of Fear - The Breaking of Chains
Added Thu Feb 10 18:33:07 2022 at level 9:
As the girl grew older, she hoped her fear would diminish but instead
it only grew stronger. She found she had an affinity for sensing the
magical elements moving and those feelings only made her more filled
with dread because she could never truly deny what was in front of
her... that her world was full of what she was scared of the most.
She could feel the shackles of her fear and dread tight around her
body, heart, and soul at all times and the one thing she found she
wanted most of all was to be free of this pain.
The day came when the young girl determined that she had been kept
chained by fear for too long and she made the choice that she was
going to be free of it once and for all. She ultimately knew that
a decision like that would take time and effort to overcome the
many years of tendencies that had become a natural part of her being,
something that had turned into as much of a part of her as her own
wings and claws. With the gleam of a hunter searching for its first
prey and meal, she left her hovel and slowly glided over the water
left from the rain upon the mountainside to the guild of invokers.
She told them of her ability to sense the elements and stated with
only a slight shake in her voice that she wished to enroll and learn
to weave the elements in a way that she could accept them as a part
of her life and no longer be afraid of them. As they inscribed her
name upon the roles of the invoker's guild, she told them her name
was Niraada Darkensun, a fitting name for one with the duality of
dark and light in the colors of the feathers of her wings and also
the feelings she had towards the ways of good and evil, a pure and
true feeling of ambivalence to either side.
She began her search for the knowledge of her acceptance of her own
abilities, knowing that magic would forever be something she
would always be seeking. As she spent time in study to hone her
gifts and accept the path that would lead her to freedom of her life
and soul, she determined two other things. First, all who truly
sought to find magic needed to be free to make choices. Without
the ability to choose how or what she would learn, she would never
find all the answers she sought. She determined then that she would
take a path of freedom and seek out those who cast off all shackles
that would be bound upon them. She would seek out those named the
Outlanders of Thar-Eris. Second, she read of a divine being in her
studies that told of freedom, adventure and magic. She would
seek out this Cadre of the divine Joihe and learn from her on how
to further learn and accept the abilities within her and how she
might make herself stronger and more free forever.
The Search for Knowledge - The Freedom from Kings
Added Mon Feb 28 10:55:08 2022 at level 50:
Niraada had gained much knowledge of herself after she became
a Sentinel of the Outlanders. Eventhough she felt she knew
more about nature and herself, she ultimately craved more of
the knowledge that she learned about herself, spells, and of
everything in existence. She sought out Joihe as she had made
the determination to do in her cabin and was able to speak to
her. Joihe suggested that each who sought a place in the group
known as the Cadre needed something they sought, a reason to
adventure and gain. It made sense, then, that Niraada sought
more and more knowledge. To this end, Joihe told Niraada to
return with a piece of knowledge that was secret, something
that might be provided to one that deserved it.
As Niraada learned more of Thar-Eris, she realized how, even
though the arial of the city she was born in had some peace
with nature, they were not entirely without the need for order.
She saw the fact that there were queens and kings and mayors
walking about the city and those that were abhorrent to the
ways of Thar-Eris set up there that made her realize her home
and the kin there were not to be trusted... some even to be
destroyed. She determined then that while she would not go
out of her way to hunt down her kin, she would feel little
concern beyond pity for those who have not freed themselves
if they were caught in her spells. Sometimes, Niraada has
learned, force is the only way to free those who are the
misguided ones.
Bringer of Illness and Fire to the Cities of Thera
Added Wed Apr 27 11:33:10 2022 at level 51:
Niraada, after being made Harbinger by the Ancient Ergush after
Rinn made the choice to step down, began spending a greater
amount of time than she thought she would bringing new life to
the Tree. She found that this worked well with a request from
Joihe to weave her threads about Thar-Eris so that there were
those connected to her that she could aid and guide. Yet, with
the Spire growing strong under the guidance of those like the
necromancer Tamazin who also was one who had sought the Cadre
and became a full member of it.
To this end, Niraada that there was a way in which she could be
the balance the Sentinels were meant to be within Thar-Eris and
help the Reavers prepare more destruction in the cities of Thera.
To do this, she determined that she would make sure as she passed
through any city of the Spire, she would call upon her magic to
bring either a noxoious cloud of gas to poison those who sought
refuge within this city or she would bring about incendiary clouds
that she would detonate for mass destruction among the buildings
and cobblestones.
Niraada also recently requested that an addition be made to the
decree of the Ancients in the Tree in hopes that words would be
placed there guiding those of the Tree to understand the sacred
ways of the home and prevent combat among the members of the
Outlanders within it.
