Alithera Valaris's page

I think its a straight level up to 4 for me, and house valaris may well be a habitual, if minor, ally of house Lotheed.
Alithera is, as a known fey foundling, absolutely not in line of succession, but presentable enough for noble purposes.

I knew I should not have referred to the Lady in shadows! Alithera announces jokingly.

Yes, only her sworn shall invoke her name, if they wish to get picked for recruitment! A tall black haired human from another recruitment thread says, smiling midly predatorily.

Ah cut it Ardran, you got recruited for the adventure ahahaha I am so not going to spoil what is going to happen to you! Alithera smiles upon the joys of not getting recruited.

My faith in the Lady in Shadows sustains me, my victory over whatever opposes me is inevitable The black haired human announces.

Are you going to stroke your goatee, you actually have one, while doing a villainous monolouge? Alitheras eyes roll

My goatee is an important neccessity for purposes of infiltrating evil castles! It gives me a +4 to disguise checks for impersonating evil overlords! The tall dark haired man answers.

A bit like my criteria actually, although my last (and only) recruitment so far was for level 8 characters. Which made it more complex because I had to try and keep the party somewhat balanced repsective to each other.

Some absolute madlads managed to second half of act 4 wotr.

Into another recruitment threat most likely.

And shouldnt you, as a Nocticulan be like "If you fall I will be there to catch you?" :).

Botting section added.

Strictly Speaking this comes after Return of the Runelords, IIRC, so she should be fully converted? Even if she weren't the cult of the Redeemer Queen is mentioned as far back as Wrath as I recall so it shouldn't be impossible to do.

My personal preference is Nocticula as Schroedingers Demon Lord/Deity, and being both at the same time.

As in:

I killed 23 demonlords, and thats just the number you effing idiots know about, and am going to enjoy my eternal retirement dancing, painting, doing arts, throwing great parties and actually enjoying myself in a very scenic location. If any of my former chucklef#%~ near-peer-competitors have a problem with have a problem with that, I can up that number.

I'm a fan of the The Redeemer Queen, so let's hand wave the timeline a bit. Looking forward to reading the background of a friendly assassin sent by Nocticula!

Alithera receives a dangerous vision from Magd! :)

@Fang dragon
A letter of introduction that politely included information that was of considerable use to her. Martella would likely be "why in the 9 hells is a Fae eldest interested in Taldor? What's next, Nocticula sending a friendly assassin to support our side out of shared opposition to misogyny?", but figure, after some research, that having Magd, who is known to send her servants on weird but typically succesfull errands, and who tends to reward fairly those who assist them, inside the tent pissing out is likely a wild card in her favor.

I also added a plot hook policy, and since Magd doesnt have them edicts and anathemas, I added some as well. They are reasonably restrictive, but not overly so.

Did some altered backgrounds, one or several Magds believe that what happens to Taldor could, in some way, effect their interests (regarding prophecy in particular), and they thus have placed Alithera there, to act as eyes on the ground.

I had fun writing the background :), also went for a more unusual version of physical description.

Mightypion wip submission, I am currently working on background, as well as on what simple weapon I can bring into polite society. I kind of doubt that a big Scythe would be all that wecome :).

Sent you a PM what Magds possible interest could be, also have her actual background as an idea, just need to write it up.

I came up with a pretty interesting backstory idea tying a rather minor noble house to Magd.

My character was found as a Fey foundling (as per the feat), by the childless Arithos Valaris. He adopted her and raised her as his own, when she, at the age of just 6, expressed her desire to worship Magd, making any possible succession by her even more implausible, her adoptive parents cried but accepted.

1 year later, they were blessed with 3 healthy female triplets , and 2 years later by 3 healthy male triplets. Given that Lady Eurythnia Valaris was 42 at that time, it was indeed quite unusual.

Eurythnia now publically worships Magd, which is viewed as rather eccentric by her noble peers. House Valaris, especially during the time where they had female triplets as possible heirs, was very very keen on the reform agency, and developed pretty warm ties with house Lotheed.

House Valaris, which is a fairly minor house, but one notable for its excellent library, great assortment of wine orchards and few foes.
