About Valena Imoroa

In any Varisan caravan, the coveted position of harrower is one of status, and of mystery. Even when the harrower is your grandmother as Valena's was, you are not immune to the draw of the cards.

As a child Valena was obsessed with the Harrow deck, often sneaking into her grandmother's wagon to play with her cards and drape herself with the colourful scarves of the harrower. Even then she felt the frission and the charge of magic when she held them.

She expected that in time she would become the Caravan's harrower, but eventually after long years toiling as the apothecary her grandmother took an apprentice to replace her, and it wasn't Valena.

Flooded with rage she broke in to steal the cards she knew so well, but she was confronted by her grandmother. In the ensuing scuffle Valena ended up with the deck and her grandmother ended up dead, scorched by lightning that had seemed to come through her from the cards somehow.
