[[File:Stormyrain_Marijka_final_2.jpg|thumb|Marijka as depicted by Stormyrain]]&lt;br /&gt;
== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You see Marijka the Warbringer.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Half-Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
She is moderately tall and has a well-toned frame.  She appears to be in the spring of life.  She has argent-flecked grey-green eyes and caramel-colored skin.  She has waist length, sleek chestnut hair worn in a chignon.  She has an angular face and subtly pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
She has a pair of amethyst studs set along the slender tips of her pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an ashen leather cavalier hat adorned with a bold violet feather, a tailored ash grey woolen longcoat lined in plush fox fur, a vaalin and faenor turtle figure, a silver falchion pin set with amethysts, a slender vaalin-buckled dark leather bandolier over an intricately sculpted suit of ebon-veined mithglin half-plate with a quilted maroon cotton gambeson underneath, a dark leather swordbelt cinched with a vaalin buckle, a sturdy dark leather gem pouch, a scuffed leather kit with a mithril buckle, a pair of fitted pale ash-hued suede pants, and some thick wool socks with ribbed cuffs under some vaalin-buckled dark doeskin boots lined with soft lambskin.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;A slender mail-clad figure, resolutely alone in the center of a desolate battlefield.  Swords brandished threateningly, she defies the approach of friend and foe alike.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka was born in Mestanir to a human woman in 5015; she never met her elven father, who her mother refused to discuss, and thus grew up knowing nothing of him.  Given a virtually complete lack of supervision from an extremely young age, Marijka roamed the city on her own until finding a place for herself among the ragged orphans on the streets.  While she did have a home to return to, she saw little point or benefit, and eventually stopped bothering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of ten, Mari got into a ferocious brawl with a gang of other street kids; heavily outnumbered, she nonetheless managed to eventually fight her way free.  While huddled in an alley nursing her wounds, she was found by an older human man who offered to let her come home and live with him.  Bemused by the concept of a safe and orderly life in a proper home, she accepted.  This is where she met the young man she now calls her brother, [[Nicolao Glass|Nicolao]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was taken on as an apprentice alongside Nicolao to learn basic elemental magic, but by 5028, her lack of both aptitude and focus had led to the dramatic termination of her apprenticeship. Seeing little benefit in remaining as a de facto servant, she struck out on her own once again in 5029. Her once-mentor made no effort to dissuade her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka next surfaced in 5034 as a junior recruit in a small, largely unsuccessful mercenary band who eventually turned to brigandry to support themselves.  Soon enough, they were defeated and scattered by their poor selection of would-be victims.  Marijka continued to drift throughout the northern Turamzzyrian Empire for the next several years, periodically returning to Mestanir to satisfy herself that Nicolao was still alive and safe.  It was during this time that she began learning swordsmanship, beginning first with a rapier and main-gauche, then experimenting with several other styles before finally settling upon her now-signature matched falchions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5038 she returned to Mestanir once again, learning this time that Nicolao had been arrested and imprisoned since her previous visit. She began restricting her ranging to the more immediate area surrounding Mestanir&#039;s capital city in order to stay better apprised of his status, all the while continuing to refine her skills with her blades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5103, the neighboring barony of [[Jantalar]] invaded and occupied Mestanir in its bid for expansion throughout the northern Turamzzyrian Empire.  She gained somewhat of a reputation for ferocity in battle against the initial attacks, and was rumoured to be active within resistance movements after the fall of Mestanir&#039;s defenders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5114, the dark summoner [[Elithain Cross]] attacked and laid waste to two-thirds of Mestanir&#039;s capital city, as well as a great portion of its surrounding lands.  In the chaos surrounding the war, Marijka took up the signature red cape of the newly forming Red Brigade.  However, mere days later, she deserted as abruptly as she had joined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5115, Marijka again surfaced, this time in [[Solhaven]] in the barony of [[Vornavis]], searching for her foster brother.  Eventually reunited with him, she seems to have settled in the independent city of Wehnimer&#039;s Landing and its environs for the time being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Fashanos 9, 5118, Marijka was one of three individuals [[Rise of Rone - Bounty Fraud, Granthem Blackouts, and a Triple Threat#Continued Threats?|identified as targets]] by the Landing vigilante killer &amp;quot;Spirit of Rone,&amp;quot; due to alleged connections with [[Cruxophim|Mayor Cruxophim Thirteen]], previously accused by said killer of being the heart of corruption in the Landing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Late in the evening of Fashanos 15, 5118, &amp;quot;Rone&amp;quot; made good on his threat.  With a dramatic rope-swinging entry through the Mayor&#039;s office window in the Moot Hall, he abducted Marijka from amongst a group of witnesses and dragged her back out to the roof, where he killed her by evisceration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5120, Marijka renounced her human blood, forsaking her Imperial heritage to adopt the culture and language of the Faendryl dark elves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Hunger and Thirst: Project weapons (OOC) ==&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka&#039;s most prized possessions are her matched pair of falcata, which are ongoing project weapons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Hunger ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You draw a garnet-set sinuous mithril falcata from your leather swordbelt&#039;s left-hand polished faewood scabbard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Single-edged, the silver blade sweeps outward in a sinuous curve, concave and slender near the guard but broadening into a convex flare in the upper third before tapering to an elongated point.  Tiny cabochon garnets trace a line reminiscent of beaded blood droplets along the double fuller, which tapers and joins along the forward flare in a stylized echo of the blade&#039;s elegant silhouette.  A backswept guard curls past the contoured flame maple grip and seamlessly joins with a hooked wyvern&#039;s-head pommel.  You notice a small enchanter&#039;s glyph and Kamiel&#039;s crafting mark.  A strange necrotic haze radiates from the falcata.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Perfect forged by [[Kamiel_(prime)|Kamiel Lyeista]] (falchion base)&lt;br /&gt;
* Enchanted: 6x (+30)&lt;br /&gt;
* Ensorcelled: T5&lt;br /&gt;
* Script slot: [[Mist_blades|Fana mistblade]] (locked, T1)&lt;br /&gt;
* Flare slot: open&lt;br /&gt;
* Bonded&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Thirst ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You draw a garnet-set slender mithril falcata from your leather swordbelt&#039;s right-hand polished faewood scabbard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Known Affiliations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;s&amp;gt;[[White Haven|House White Haven]]&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; (former)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Citizen of [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]]&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Member of [[House Brigatta]]&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Member of the [[Faendryl Enclave]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Quotes ==&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You quietly whisper to Goblyn, &amp;quot;The mark of true artistry is to use lies as one&#039;s brush to paint the truth.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn raises an eyebrow in your direction.&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn whispers, &amp;quot;I do not like liars.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn shrugs at you.&lt;br /&gt;
You quietly whisper to Goblyn, &amp;quot;Truth is so subjective as to be meaningless.  We all lie.  Politeness is a facade, a charade.  Making an effort to be kind which does not come automatically to you is a form of lie.  Cosmetics are a lie.  The faces we present to the world are a masquerade, each with their own.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn whispers, &amp;quot;I.. am maybe not agreeing with this.  But maybe we do have different definitions of what it is to &#039;lie&#039;.  We will maybe debate this in some day.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking idly to Leafiara, you say, &amp;quot;So how does one determine how many useless people a useful person is worth?  That man seemed to disagree with the assessment of &amp;quot;hundreds,&amp;quot; but he didn&#039;t offer another valuation in its place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking tentatively to you, Leafiara says, &amp;quot;Well, I think he just sees people as pure numbers... give up one to save ten, give up two to save five, as long as one number is larger...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking indifferently to you, Leafiara says, &amp;quot;But then he accuses -me- of not caring about people.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Leafiara, you say, &amp;quot;Ridiculous.  That sounds like the sort of logic a useless person would favour.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
You thoughtfully say, &amp;quot;It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism whilst the wolves remain of differing opinion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking to Ceyrin, you remind, &amp;quot;You had just said that you have no context for the meaning of any of the things I&#039;d been saying.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Ceyrin, you tease, &amp;quot;To which I was going to respond, I&#039;d tell you but then I&#039;d have to kill you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking suspiciously to you, Ceyrin inquires, &amp;quot;Are you flirting with me?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== OOC Observations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;As Marijka&#039;s player tends to play her cards close to her chest about a lot of Marijka&#039;s history, affiliations, and involvements, other players/characters should feel welcome to add their own perceptions, experiences, and observations to this section.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Marijka has been seen upon several occasions wearing a cassock, prayer beads, and other clerical accoutrements, representing herself as a lay sister affiliated with [[Orders of the Turamzzyrian Empire#The Elders of the Everwatch Tower|Everwatch Tower]].&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You quietly whisper to Goblyn, &amp;quot;The mark of true artistry is to use lies as one&#039;s brush to paint the truth.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn raises an eyebrow in your direction.&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn whispers, &amp;quot;I do not like liars.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn shrugs at you.&lt;br /&gt;
You quietly whisper to Goblyn, &amp;quot;Truth is so subjective as to be meaningless.  We all lie.  Politeness is a facade, a charade.  Making an effort to be kind which does not come automatically to you is a form of lie.  Cosmetics are a lie.  The faces we present to the world are a masquerade, each with their own.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn whispers, &amp;quot;I.. am maybe not agreeing with this.  But maybe we do have different definitions of what it is to &#039;lie&#039;.  We will maybe debate this in some day.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking idly to Leafiara, you say, &amp;quot;So how does one determine how many useless people a useful person is worth?  That man seemed to disagree with the assessment of &amp;quot;hundreds,&amp;quot; but he didn&#039;t offer another valuation in its place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking tentatively to you, Leafiara says, &amp;quot;Well, I think he just sees people as pure numbers... give up one to save ten, give up two to save five, as long as one number is larger...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking indifferently to you, Leafiara says, &amp;quot;But then he accuses -me- of not caring about people.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Leafiara, you say, &amp;quot;Ridiculous.  That sounds like the sort of logic a useless person would favour.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
You thoughtfully say, &amp;quot;It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism whilst the wolves remain of differing opinion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking to Ceyrin, you remind, &amp;quot;You had just said that you have no context for the meaning of any of the things I&#039;d been saying.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Ceyrin, you tease, &amp;quot;To which I was going to respond, I&#039;d tell you but then I&#039;d have to kill you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking suspiciously to you, Ceyrin inquires, &amp;quot;Are you flirting with me?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You see Marijka the Warbringer.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Half-Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
She is moderately tall and has a well-toned frame.  She appears to be in the spring of life.  She has argent-flecked grey-green eyes and caramel-colored skin.  She has waist length, sleek chestnut hair worn in a chignon.  She has an angular face and subtly pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
She has a pair of amethyst studs set along the slender tips of her pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an ashen leather cavalier hat adorned with a bold violet feather, a tailored ash grey woolen longcoat lined in plush fox fur, a vaalin and faenor turtle figure, a silver falchion pin set with amethysts, a slender vaalin-buckled dark leather bandolier over an intricately sculpted suit of ebon-veined mithglin half-plate with a quilted maroon cotton gambeson underneath, a dark leather swordbelt cinched with a vaalin buckle, a sturdy dark leather gem pouch, a scuffed leather kit with a mithril buckle, a pair of fitted pale ash-hued suede pants, and some thick wool socks with ribbed cuffs under some vaalin-buckled dark doeskin boots lined with soft lambskin.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;A slender mail-clad figure, resolutely alone in the center of a desolate battlefield.  Swords brandished threateningly, she defies the approach of friend and foe alike.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka was born in Mestanir to a human woman in 5015; she never met her elven father, who her mother refused to discuss, and thus grew up knowing nothing of him.  Given a virtually complete lack of supervision from an extremely young age, Marijka roamed the city on her own until finding a place for herself among the ragged orphans on the streets.  While she did have a home to return to, she saw little point or benefit, and eventually stopped bothering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of ten, Mari got into a ferocious brawl with a gang of other street kids; heavily outnumbered, she nonetheless managed to eventually fight her way free.  While huddled in an alley nursing her wounds, she was found by an older human man who offered to let her come home and live with him.  Bemused by the concept of a safe and orderly life in a proper home, she accepted.  This is where she met the young man she now calls her brother, [[Nicolao Glass|Nicolao]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was taken on as an apprentice alongside Nicolao to learn basic elemental magic, but by 5028, her lack of both aptitude and focus had led to the dramatic termination of her apprenticeship. Seeing little benefit in remaining as a de facto servant, she struck out on her own once again in 5029. Her once-mentor made no effort to dissuade her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka next surfaced in 5034 as a junior recruit in a small, largely unsuccessful mercenary band who eventually turned to brigandry to support themselves.  Soon enough, they were defeated and scattered by their poor selection of would-be victims.  Marijka continued to drift throughout the northern Turamzzyrian Empire for the next several years, periodically returning to Mestanir to satisfy herself that Nicolao was still alive and safe.  It was during this time that she began learning swordsmanship, beginning first with a rapier and main-gauche, then experimenting with several other styles before finally settling upon her now-signature matched falchions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5038 she returned to Mestanir once again, learning this time that Nicolao had been arrested and imprisoned since her previous visit. She began restricting her ranging to the more immediate area surrounding Mestanir&#039;s capital city in order to stay better apprised of his status, all the while continuing to refine her skills with her blades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5103, the neighboring barony of [[Jantalar]] invaded and occupied Mestanir in its bid for expansion throughout the northern Turamzzyrian Empire.  She gained somewhat of a reputation for ferocity in battle against the initial attacks, and was rumoured to be active within resistance movements after the fall of Mestanir&#039;s defenders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5114, the dark summoner [[Elithain Cross]] attacked and laid waste to two-thirds of Mestanir&#039;s capital city, as well as a great portion of its surrounding lands.  In the chaos surrounding the war, Marijka took up the signature red cape of the newly forming Red Brigade.  However, mere days later, she deserted as abruptly as she had joined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5115, Marijka again surfaced, this time in [[Solhaven]] in the barony of [[Vornavis]], searching for her foster brother.  Eventually reunited with him, she seems to have settled in the independent city of Wehnimer&#039;s Landing and its environs for the time being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Fashanos 9, 5118, Marijka was one of three individuals [[Rise of Rone - Bounty Fraud, Granthem Blackouts, and a Triple Threat#Continued Threats?|identified as targets]] by the Landing vigilante killer &amp;quot;Spirit of Rone,&amp;quot; due to alleged connections with [[Cruxophim|Mayor Cruxophim Thirteen]], previously accused by said killer of being the heart of corruption in the Landing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Late in the evening of Fashanos 15, 5118, &amp;quot;Rone&amp;quot; made good on his threat.  With a dramatic rope-swinging entry through the Mayor&#039;s office window in the Moot Hall, he abducted Marijka from amongst a group of witnesses and dragged her back out to the roof, where he killed her by evisceration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5120, Marijka renounced her human blood, forsaking her Imperial heritage to adopt the culture and language of the Faendryl dark elves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Hunger and Thirst: Project weapons (OOC) ==&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka&#039;s most prized possessions are her matched pair of falcata, which are ongoing project weapons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Hunger ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You draw a garnet-set sinuous mithril falcata from your leather swordbelt&#039;s left-hand polished faewood scabbard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Single-edged, the silver blade sweeps outward in a sinuous curve, concave and slender near the guard but broadening into a convex flare in the upper third before tapering to an elongated point.  Tiny cabochon garnets trace a line reminiscent of beaded blood droplets along the double fuller, which tapers and joins along the forward flare in a stylized echo of the blade&#039;s elegant silhouette.  A backswept guard curls past the contoured flame maple grip and seamlessly joins with a hooked wyvern&#039;s-head pommel.  You notice a small enchanter&#039;s glyph and Kamiel&#039;s crafting mark.  A strange necrotic haze radiates from the falcata.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Perfect forged by [[Kamiel_(prime)|Kamiel Lyeista]] (falchion base)&lt;br /&gt;
* Enchanted: 5x (+25)&lt;br /&gt;
* Ensorcelled: T5&lt;br /&gt;
* Script slot: [[Mist_blades|Fana mistblade]] (locked, T1)&lt;br /&gt;

== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You see Marijka the Warbringer.&lt;br /&gt;

She is wearing an ashen leather cavalier hat adorned with a bold violet feather, a tailored ash grey woolen longcoat lined in plush fox fur, a vaalin and faenor turtle figure, a silver falchion pin set with amethysts, a slender vaalin-buckled dark leather bandolier over an intricately sculpted suit of ebon-veined mithglin half-plate with a quilted maroon cotton gambeson underneath, a dark leather swordbelt cinched with a vaalin buckle, a sturdy dark leather gem pouch, a scuffed leather kit with a mithril buckle, a pair of fitted pale ash-hued suede pants, and some thick wool socks with ribbed cuffs under some vaalin-buckled dark doeskin boots lined with soft lambskin.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In 5115, Marijka again surfaced, this time in [[Solhaven]] in the barony of [[Vornavis]], searching for her foster brother.  Eventually reunited with him, she seems to have settled in the independent city of Wehnimer&#039;s Landing and its environs for the time being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Fashanos 9, 5118, Marijka was one of three individuals [[Rise of Rone - Bounty Fraud, Granthem Blackouts, and a Triple Threat#Continued Threats?|identified as targets]] by the Landing vigilante killer &amp;quot;Spirit of Rone,&amp;quot; due to alleged connections with [[Cruxophim|Mayor Cruxophim Thirteen]], previously accused by said killer of being the heart of corruption in the Landing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Late in the evening of Fashanos 15, 5118, &amp;quot;Rone&amp;quot; made good on his threat.  With a dramatic rope-swinging entry through the Mayor&#039;s office window in the Moot Hall, he abducted Marijka from amongst a group of witnesses and dragged her back out to the roof, where he killed her by evisceration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5120, Marijka renounced her human blood, forsaking her Imperial heritage to adopt the culture and language of the Faendryl dark elves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Hunger and Thirst: Project weapons (OOC) ==&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka&#039;s most prized possessions are her matched pair of falcata, which are ongoing project weapons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Hunger ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You draw a garnet-set sinuous mithril falcata from your leather swordbelt&#039;s left-hand polished faewood scabbard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Single-edged, the silver blade sweeps outward in a sinuous curve, concave and slender near the guard but broadening into a convex flare in the upper third before tapering to an elongated point.  Tiny cabochon garnets trace a line reminiscent of beaded blood droplets along the double fuller, which tapers and joins along the forward flare in a stylized echo of the blade&#039;s elegant silhouette.  A backswept guard curls past the contoured flame maple grip and seamlessly joins with a hooked wyvern&#039;s-head pommel.  You notice a small enchanter&#039;s glyph and Kamiel&#039;s crafting mark.  A strange necrotic haze radiates from the falcata.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Perfect forged by Kamiel Lyeista (falchion base)&lt;br /&gt;
* Enchanted - 5x (+25)&lt;br /&gt;
* Ensorcelled - T5&lt;br /&gt;
* Script slot - Fana mistblade (locked, T1)&lt;br /&gt;
* Flare slot - open&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You quietly whisper to Goblyn, &amp;quot;The mark of true artistry is to use lies as one&#039;s brush to paint the truth.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn raises an eyebrow in your direction.&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn whispers, &amp;quot;I do not like liars.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn shrugs at you.&lt;br /&gt;
You quietly whisper to Goblyn, &amp;quot;Truth is so subjective as to be meaningless.  We all lie.  Politeness is a facade, a charade.  Making an effort to be kind which does not come automatically to you is a form of lie.  Cosmetics are a lie.  The faces we present to the world are a masquerade, each with their own.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn whispers, &amp;quot;I.. am maybe not agreeing with this.  But maybe we do have different definitions of what it is to &#039;lie&#039;.  We will maybe debate this in some day.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking idly to Leafiara, you say, &amp;quot;So how does one determine how many useless people a useful person is worth?  That man seemed to disagree with the assessment of &amp;quot;hundreds,&amp;quot; but he didn&#039;t offer another valuation in its place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking tentatively to you, Leafiara says, &amp;quot;Well, I think he just sees people as pure numbers... give up one to save ten, give up two to save five, as long as one number is larger...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking indifferently to you, Leafiara says, &amp;quot;But then he accuses -me- of not caring about people.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Leafiara, you say, &amp;quot;Ridiculous.  That sounds like the sort of logic a useless person would favour.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
You thoughtfully say, &amp;quot;It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism whilst the wolves remain of differing opinion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking to Ceyrin, you remind, &amp;quot;You had just said that you have no context for the meaning of any of the things I&#039;d been saying.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Ceyrin, you tease, &amp;quot;To which I was going to respond, I&#039;d tell you but then I&#039;d have to kill you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking suspiciously to you, Ceyrin inquires, &amp;quot;Are you flirting with me?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Stormyrain_Marijka_final_2.jpg|thumb|Marijka as depicted by Stormyrain]]&lt;br /&gt;
== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You see Marijka the Warbringer.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Half-Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
She is moderately tall and has a well-toned frame.  She appears to be in the spring of life.  She has argent-flecked grey-green eyes and caramel-colored skin.  She has waist length, sleek chestnut hair worn in a chignon.  She has an angular face and subtly pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
She has a pair of amethyst studs set along the slender tips of her pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an ashen leather cavalier hat adorned with a bold violet feather, a tailored ash grey woolen longcoat lined in plush fox fur, a vaalin and faenor turtle figure, a silver falchion pin set with amethysts, a slender vaalin-buckled dark leather bandolier over an intricately sculpted suit of ebon-veined mithglin half-plate with a quilted maroon cotton gambeson underneath, a dark leather swordbelt cinched with a vaalin buckle, a sturdy dark leather gem pouch, a scuffed leather kit with a mithril buckle, a pair of fitted pale ash-hued suede pants, and some thick wool socks with ribbed cuffs under some vaalin-buckled dark doeskin boots lined with soft lambskin.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;A slender mail-clad figure, resolutely alone in the center of a desolate battlefield.  Swords brandished threateningly, she defies the approach of friend and foe alike.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka was born in Mestanir to a human woman in 5015; she never met her elven father, who her mother refused to discuss, and thus grew up knowing nothing of him.  Given a virtually complete lack of supervision from an extremely young age, Marijka roamed the city on her own until finding a place for herself among the ragged orphans on the streets.  While she did have a home to return to, she saw little point or benefit, and eventually stopped bothering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of ten, Mari got into a ferocious brawl with a gang of other street kids; heavily outnumbered, she nonetheless managed to eventually fight her way free.  While huddled in an alley nursing her wounds, she was found by an older human man who offered to let her come home and live with him.  Bemused by the concept of a safe and orderly life in a proper home, she accepted.  This is where she met the young man she now calls her brother, [[Nicolao Glass|Nicolao]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was taken on as an apprentice alongside Nicolao to learn basic elemental magic, but by 5028, her lack of both aptitude and focus had led to the dramatic termination of her apprenticeship. Seeing little benefit in remaining as a de facto servant, she struck out on her own once again in 5029. Her once-mentor made no effort to dissuade her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka next surfaced in 5034 as a junior recruit in a small, largely unsuccessful mercenary band who eventually turned to brigandry to support themselves.  Soon enough, they were defeated and scattered by their poor selection of would-be victims.  Marijka continued to drift throughout the northern Turamzzyrian Empire for the next several years, periodically returning to Mestanir to satisfy herself that Nicolao was still alive and safe.  It was during this time that she began learning swordsmanship, beginning first with a rapier and main-gauche, then experimenting with several other styles before finally settling upon her now-signature matched falchions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5038 she returned to Mestanir once again, learning this time that Nicolao had been arrested and imprisoned since her previous visit. She began restricting her ranging to the more immediate area surrounding Mestanir&#039;s capital city in order to stay better apprised of his status, all the while continuing to refine her skills with her blades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5103, the neighboring barony of [[Jantalar]] invaded and occupied Mestanir in its bid for expansion throughout the northern Turamzzyrian Empire.  She gained somewhat of a reputation for ferocity in battle against the initial attacks, and was rumoured to be active within resistance movements after the fall of Mestanir&#039;s defenders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5114, the dark summoner [[Elithain Cross]] attacked and laid waste to two-thirds of Mestanir&#039;s capital city, as well as a great portion of its surrounding lands.  In the chaos surrounding the war, Marijka took up the signature red cape of the newly forming Red Brigade.  However, mere days later, she deserted as abruptly as she had joined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5115, Marijka again surfaced, this time in [[Solhaven]] in the barony of [[Vornavis]], searching for her foster brother.  Eventually reunited with him, she seems to have settled in the independent city of Wehnimer&#039;s Landing and its environs for the time being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Fashanos 9, 5118, Marijka was one of three individuals [[Rise of Rone - Bounty Fraud, Granthem Blackouts, and a Triple Threat#Continued Threats?|identified as targets]] by the Landing vigilante killer &amp;quot;Spirit of Rone,&amp;quot; due to alleged connections with [[Cruxophim|Mayor Cruxophim Thirteen]], previously accused by said killer of being the heart of corruption in the Landing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Late in the evening of Fashanos 15, 5118, &amp;quot;Rone&amp;quot; made good on his threat.  With a dramatic rope-swinging entry through the Mayor&#039;s office window in the Moot Hall, he abducted Marijka from amongst a group of witnesses and dragged her back out to the roof, where he killed her by evisceration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5120, Marijka renounced her human blood, forsaking her Imperial heritage to adopt the culture and language of the Faendryl dark elves.&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You draw a garnet-set sinuous mithril falcata from your leather swordbelt&#039;s left-hand polished faewood scabbard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Single-edged, the silver blade sweeps outward in a sinuous curve, concave and slender near the guard but broadening into a convex flare in the upper third before tapering to an elongated point.  Tiny cabochon garnets trace a line reminiscent of beaded blood droplets along the double fuller, which tapers and joins along the forward flare in a stylized echo of the blade&#039;s elegant silhouette.  A backswept guard curls past the contoured flame maple grip and seamlessly joins with a hooked wyvern&#039;s-head pommel.  You notice a small enchanter&#039;s glyph and Kamiel&#039;s crafting mark.  A strange necrotic haze radiates from the falcata.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You see Lady Nakaira Kedeviss Faendryl the Defiler.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
She is average height and has an emaciated body.  She appears to have one foot in the grave.  She has milky white eyes and waxen-looking, pale skin.  She has very long, matted black hair in a wild miasma of tangles.  She has a gaunt, severely angled face and high cheekbones.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an invar hexagram earring, a tarnish-blackened slender silver chain dangling a pentacle-incised bloodjewel, a brilliant fire pearl suspended from a thick leather cord, a black silk cloak held at the throat by a scarlet despanal toggle, some elegant silver-insigiled conjuring gloves fastened with shadowglass buttons, a water-stained corset gown of zaffre satin overlaid with black lace tatters, a series of bone bracelets carved with screaming faces, a sapphire-inset ring etched with leaping waves, and a pair of narrow leather shoes.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira Kedeviss Faendryl is the name of a female summoner assigned to the scout cutter [[Siege of Ta&#039;Ashrim|&#039;&#039;Veil Shark&#039;&#039;]], a ship attached to the invasion fleet deployed to destroy [[House of Ashrim|House Ta&#039;Ashrim&#039;s]] lands and people during the [[Sea Elf War]] some five thousand years prior to the modern era.  She was named &amp;quot;Näkki&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Sea Witch&amp;quot; by Ashrim refugees, the former a reference to the legend of a malicious, shapeshifting water spirit who lured people to their deaths in the sea.  The &#039;&#039;Veil Shark&#039;&#039; was ultimately believed lost at sea with all hands when it failed to make rendezvous with the surviving remnants of Fleet Task A for the return voyage to Ta&#039;Faendryl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the modern era, a vastly older dark elf calling herself Nakaira appeared with the return of the [[Ebon Gate]] festival in Eoantos 5117, although resembling a typical Faendryl far less than a pallid, decaying drowning victim.  Speaking in a characteristic rasp, she described five millenia of existence in a state between life and undeath at the bottom of the sea before finally washing ashore on Caligos.  A necromancer, she assisted with the [[Rise_of_Rone_-_5118-03-19_-_Enacting_the_Pillar_Plan_(log)|infusion of shadow energy]] into three of Grishom Stone&#039;s five bone pillars in Charlatos 5118, and since has been seen sporadically in the environs of the Landing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Known Affiliations ==&lt;br /&gt;
Citizen of [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]]&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Sorcerer Guild]]&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Faendryl Enclave]]&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Order of the Shadow]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== IC Observations ==&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira is afflicted with a terrible cough which never heals or subsides, and seems impervious to the best efforts of empaths to diagnose and treat.  This may be related somehow to her omnipresent raspy voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As often as not, for no explicable reason, Nakaira is dripping wet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although not technically an elementalist, Nakaira possesses an elemental affinity for water which is sometimes apparent in her casting of spells from the Minor Elemental sphere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking to Nakaira, Starcrye says, &amp;quot;I say old girl....hack it up.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Starcrye, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Do you, truly?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira gazes with interest at Starcrye.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira clasps her hand over her mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira makes a gurgling sound in her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira makes a gurgling sound in her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira coughs.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira bends forward slightly, shoulders drawn in, and lets loose with a terrible, hacking cough.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances at a slimy white seaworm in her hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Dark Elven, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;The worms are particularly restless tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka glances at Nakaira.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking slowly to Nakaira, Marijka says, &amp;quot;You... did not... just cough up... a sea worm.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances at Marijka.&lt;br /&gt;
A pained expression crosses Baelrun&#039;s face.&lt;br /&gt;
Baelrun gags.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Dark Elven to Marijka, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Very well.  I did not.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;A goblin whips out a stake and mallet, grins and hammers it into the chest of Nakaira.  When Nakaira doesn&#039;t collapse into dust, the goblin grimaces and says, &amp;quot;Cooda swoorn woos undead.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;An errant gust of wind swirls through the square, stirring up dust and rattling the branches of the oak tree.  Small twigs, a smattering of leaves, and a lone acorn are shaken loose.  The nutty projectile drops directly on Nakaira&#039;s head, bounces off, and tumbles to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
Kippe glances between Nakaira and a large acorn.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira thrusts her gloved hand into the air while chanting a magic phrase under her breath.  A stream of ebon black essence shoots forcefully upwards from the silvery sigil on her glove.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Got you, you little...&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== OOC Observations ==&lt;br /&gt;
The worms which have taken up residence in Nakaira&#039;s chest cavity are a species of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychaete marine bristleworms].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira&#039;s nickname &amp;quot;the Näkki,&amp;quot; as well as the legend of her being a malicious shapeshifting water spirit who drowns people, are a reference to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neck_(water_spirit) Neck] of Germanic and Scandinavian myth; &amp;quot;Näkki&amp;quot;, specifically, is the Finnish name/spelling.  There are also distinct parallels with the Slavic [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusalka rusalka], who is herself an undead drowning victim.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

In the modern era, a vastly older dark elf calling herself Nakaira appeared with the return of the [[Ebon Gate]] festival in Eoantos 5117, although resembling a typical Faendryl far less than a pallid, decaying drowning victim.  Speaking in a characteristic rasp, she described five millenia of existence in a state between life and undeath at the bottom of the sea before finally washing ashore on Caligos.  A necromancer, she assisted with the [[Rise_of_Rone_-_5118-03-19_-_Enacting_the_Pillar_Plan_(log)|infusion of shadow energy]] into three of Grishom Stone&#039;s five bone pillars in Charlatos 5118, and since has been seen sporadically in the environs of the Landing.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== IC Observations ==&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira is afflicted with a terrible cough which never heals or subsides, and seems impervious to the best efforts of empaths to diagnose and treat.  This may be related somehow to her omnipresent raspy voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As often as not, for no explicable reason, Nakaira is dripping wet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although not technically an elementalist, Nakaira possesses an elemental affinity for water which is sometimes apparent in her casting of spells from the Minor Elemental sphere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking to Nakaira, Starcrye says, &amp;quot;I say old girl....hack it up.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Starcrye, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Do you, truly?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira gazes with interest at Starcrye.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira clasps her hand over her mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira makes a gurgling sound in her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira makes a gurgling sound in her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira coughs.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira bends forward slightly, shoulders drawn in, and lets loose with a terrible, hacking cough.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances at a slimy white seaworm in her hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Dark Elven, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;The worms are particularly restless tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka glances at Nakaira.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking slowly to Nakaira, Marijka says, &amp;quot;You... did not... just cough up... a sea worm.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances at Marijka.&lt;br /&gt;
A pained expression crosses Baelrun&#039;s face.&lt;br /&gt;
Baelrun gags.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Dark Elven to Marijka, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Very well.  I did not.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;A goblin whips out a stake and mallet, grins and hammers it into the chest of Nakaira.  When Nakaira doesn&#039;t collapse into dust, the goblin grimaces and says, &amp;quot;Cooda swoorn woos undead.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;An errant gust of wind swirls through the square, stirring up dust and rattling the branches of the oak tree.  Small twigs, a smattering of leaves, and a lone acorn are shaken loose.  The nutty projectile drops directly on Nakaira&#039;s head, bounces off, and tumbles to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
Kippe glances between Nakaira and a large acorn.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira thrusts her gloved hand into the air while chanting a magic phrase under her breath.  A stream of ebon black essence shoots forcefully upwards from the silvery sigil on her glove.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Got you, you little...&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== OOC Observations ==&lt;br /&gt;
The worms which have taken up residence in Nakaira&#039;s chest cavity are a species of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychaete marine bristleworms].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira&#039;s nickname &amp;quot;the Näkki,&amp;quot; as well as the legend of her being a malicious shapeshifting water spirit who drowns people, are a reference to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neck_(water_spirit) Neck] of Germanic and Scandinavian myth; &amp;quot;Näkki&amp;quot;, specifically, is the Finnish name/spelling.  There are also distinct parallels with the Slavic [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusalka rusalka], who is herself an undead drowning victim.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Stormyrain_Marijka_final_2.jpg|thumb|Marijka as depicted by Stormyrain]]&lt;br /&gt;
== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You see Marijka the Warbringer.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Half-Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
She is moderately tall and has a well-toned frame.  She appears to be in the spring of life.  She has argent-flecked grey-green eyes and caramel-colored skin.  She has waist length, sleek chestnut hair worn in a chignon.  She has an angular face and subtly pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
She has a pair of amethyst studs set along the slender tips of her pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an ashen leather cavalier hat adorned with a bold violet feather, a tailored ash grey woolen longcoat lined in plush fox fur, a vaalin and faenor turtle figure, a silver falchion pin set with amethysts, a slender vaalin-buckled dark leather bandolier over an intricately sculpted suit of ebon-veined mithglin half-plate with a quilted maroon cotton gambeson underneath, a dark leather swordbelt cinched with a vaalin buckle, a sturdy dark leather gem pouch, a scuffed leather kit with a mithril buckle, a pair of fitted pale ash-hued suede pants, and some thick wool socks with ribbed cuffs under some vaalin-buckled dark doeskin boots lined with soft lambskin.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;A slender mail-clad figure, resolutely alone in the center of a desolate battlefield.  Swords brandished threateningly, she defies the approach of friend and foe alike.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka was born in Mestanir to a human woman in 5015; she never met her elven father, who her mother refused to discuss, and thus grew up knowing nothing of him.  Given a virtually complete lack of supervision from an extremely young age, Marijka roamed the city on her own until finding a place for herself among the ragged orphans on the streets.  While she did have a home to return to, she saw little point or benefit, and eventually stopped bothering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of ten, Mari got into a ferocious brawl with a gang of other street kids; heavily outnumbered, she nonetheless managed to eventually fight her way free.  While huddled in an alley nursing her wounds, she was found by an older human man who offered to let her come home and live with him.  Bemused by the concept of a safe and orderly life in a proper home, she accepted.  This is where she met the young man she now calls her brother, [[Nicolao Glass|Nicolao]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was taken on as an apprentice alongside Nicolao to learn basic elemental magic, but by 5028, her lack of both aptitude and focus had led to the dramatic termination of her apprenticeship. Seeing little benefit in remaining as a de facto servant, she struck out on her own once again in 5029. Her once-mentor made no effort to dissuade her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka next surfaced in 5034 as a junior recruit in a small, largely unsuccessful mercenary band who eventually turned to brigandry to support themselves.  Soon enough, they were defeated and scattered by their poor selection of would-be victims.  Marijka continued to drift throughout the northern Turamzzyrian Empire for the next several years, periodically returning to Mestanir to satisfy herself that Nicolao was still alive and safe.  It was during this time that she began learning swordsmanship, beginning first with a rapier and main-gauche, then experimenting with several other styles before finally settling upon her now-signature matched falchions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5038 she returned to Mestanir once again, learning this time that Nicolao had been arrested and imprisoned since her previous visit. She began restricting her ranging to the more immediate area surrounding Mestanir&#039;s capital city in order to stay better apprised of his status, all the while continuing to refine her skills with her blades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5103, the neighboring barony of [[Jantalar]] invaded and occupied Mestanir in its bid for expansion throughout the northern Turamzzyrian Empire.  She gained somewhat of a reputation for ferocity in battle against the initial attacks, and was rumoured to be active within resistance movements after the fall of Mestanir&#039;s defenders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5114, the dark summoner [[Elithain Cross]] attacked and laid waste to two-thirds of Mestanir&#039;s capital city, as well as a great portion of its surrounding lands.  In the chaos surrounding the war, Marijka took up the signature red cape of the newly forming Red Brigade.  However, mere days later, she deserted as abruptly as she had joined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5115, Marijka again surfaced, this time in [[Solhaven]] in the barony of [[Vornavis]], searching for her foster brother.  Eventually reunited with him, she seems to have settled in the independent city of Wehnimer&#039;s Landing and its environs for the time being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Fashanos 9, 5118, Marijka was one of three individuals [[Rise of Rone - Bounty Fraud, Granthem Blackouts, and a Triple Threat#Continued Threats?|identified as targets]] by the Landing vigilante killer &amp;quot;Spirit of Rone,&amp;quot; due to alleged connections with [[Cruxophim|Mayor Cruxophim Thirteen]], previously accused by said killer of being the heart of corruption in the Landing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Late in the evening of Fashanos 15, 5118, &amp;quot;Rone&amp;quot; made good on his threat.  With a dramatic rope-swinging entry through the Mayor&#039;s office window in the Moot Hall, he abducted Marijka from amongst a group of witnesses and dragged her back out to the roof, where he killed her by evisceration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5120, Marijka renounced her human blood, forsaking her Imperial heritage to adopt the culture and language of the Faendryl dark elves.&lt;br /&gt;

== Quotes ==&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You quietly whisper to Goblyn, &amp;quot;The mark of true artistry is to use lies as one&#039;s brush to paint the truth.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn raises an eyebrow in your direction.&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn whispers, &amp;quot;I do not like liars.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn shrugs at you.&lt;br /&gt;
You quietly whisper to Goblyn, &amp;quot;Truth is so subjective as to be meaningless.  We all lie.  Politeness is a facade, a charade.  Making an effort to be kind which does not come automatically to you is a form of lie.  Cosmetics are a lie.  The faces we present to the world are a masquerade, each with their own.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn whispers, &amp;quot;I.. am maybe not agreeing with this.  But maybe we do have different definitions of what it is to &#039;lie&#039;.  We will maybe debate this in some day.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking idly to Leafiara, you say, &amp;quot;So how does one determine how many useless people a useful person is worth?  That man seemed to disagree with the assessment of &amp;quot;hundreds,&amp;quot; but he didn&#039;t offer another valuation in its place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking tentatively to you, Leafiara says, &amp;quot;Well, I think he just sees people as pure numbers... give up one to save ten, give up two to save five, as long as one number is larger...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking indifferently to you, Leafiara says, &amp;quot;But then he accuses -me- of not caring about people.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Leafiara, you say, &amp;quot;Ridiculous.  That sounds like the sort of logic a useless person would favour.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
You thoughtfully say, &amp;quot;It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism whilst the wolves remain of differing opinion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking to Ceyrin, you remind, &amp;quot;You had just said that you have no context for the meaning of any of the things I&#039;d been saying.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Ceyrin, you tease, &amp;quot;To which I was going to respond, I&#039;d tell you but then I&#039;d have to kill you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking suspiciously to you, Ceyrin inquires, &amp;quot;Are you flirting with me?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;As Marijka&#039;s player tends to play her cards close to her chest about a lot of Marijka&#039;s history, affiliations, and involvements, other players/characters should feel welcome to add their own perceptions, experiences, and observations to this section.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Marijka has been seen upon several occasions wearing a cassock, prayer beads, and other clerical accoutrements, representing herself as a lay sister affiliated with [[Orders of the Turamzzyrian Empire#The Elders of the Everwatch Tower|Everwatch Tower]].&lt;br /&gt;

__FORCETOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You see Nakaira the Defiler.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
She is average height and has an emaciated body.  She appears to have one foot in the grave.  She has milky white eyes and waxen-looking, pale skin.  She has very long, matted black hair in a wild miasma of tangles.  She has a gaunt, severely angled face and high cheekbones.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an invar hexagram earring, a tarnish-blackened slender silver chain dangling a pentacle-incised bloodjewel, a brilliant fire pearl suspended from a thick leather cord, a black silk cloak held at the throat by a scarlet despanal toggle, some elegant silver-insigiled conjuring gloves fastened with shadowglass buttons, a water-stained corset gown of zaffre satin overlaid with black lace tatters, some thick velvet robes with a deep silk-lined hood, a series of bone bracelets carved with screaming faces, a silver filigree talon ring, a sapphire-inset ring etched with leaping waves, a twisted faewood ring, a pallid grey leather sheath bound in iron, and a pair of narrow leather shoes.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira Kedeviss Faendryl is the name of a female summoner assigned to the scout cutter [[Siege of Ta&#039;Ashrim|&#039;&#039;Veil Shark&#039;&#039;]], a ship attached to the invasion fleet deployed to destroy [[House of Ashrim|House Ta&#039;Ashrim&#039;s]] lands and people during the [[Sea Elf War]] some five thousand years prior to the modern era.  She was named &amp;quot;Näkki&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Sea Witch&amp;quot; by Ashrim refugees, the former a reference to the legend of a malicious, shapeshifting water spirit who lured people to their deaths in the sea.  The &#039;&#039;Veil Shark&#039;&#039; was ultimately believed lost at sea with all hands when it failed to make rendezvous with the surviving remnants of Fleet Task A for the return voyage to Ta&#039;Faendryl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the modern era, a vastly older dark elf calling herself Nakaira appeared with the return of the [[Ebon Gate]] festival in Eoantos 5117, although resembling a typical Faendryl far less than a pallid, decaying drowning victim.  Speaking in a characteristic rasp, she described five millenia of existence in a state between life and undeath at the bottom of the sea before finally washing ashore on Caligos.  A necromancer, she assisted with the [[Rise_of_Rone_-_5118-03-19_-_Enacting_the_Pillar_Plan_(log)|infusion of shadow energy]] into three of Grishom Stone&#039;s five bone pillars in Charlatos 5118, and since has been seen sporadically in the environs of the Landing.&lt;br /&gt;

== IC Observations ==&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira is afflicted with a terrible cough which never heals or subsides, and seems impervious to the best efforts of empaths to diagnose and treat.  This may be related somehow to her omnipresent raspy voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As often as not, for no explicable reason, Nakaira is dripping wet.&lt;br /&gt;

Nakaira gazes with interest at Starcrye.&lt;br /&gt;

Nakaira makes a gurgling sound in her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira coughs.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira bends forward slightly, shoulders drawn in, and lets loose with a terrible, hacking cough.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances at a slimy white seaworm in her hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Dark Elven, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;The worms are particularly restless tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka glances at Nakaira.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking slowly to Nakaira, Marijka says, &amp;quot;You... did not... just cough up... a sea worm.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances at Marijka.&lt;br /&gt;
A pained expression crosses Baelrun&#039;s face.&lt;br /&gt;
Baelrun gags.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Dark Elven to Marijka, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Very well.  I did not.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;A goblin whips out a stake and mallet, grins and hammers it into the chest of Nakaira.  When Nakaira doesn&#039;t collapse into dust, the goblin grimaces and says, &amp;quot;Cooda swoorn woos undead.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;An errant gust of wind swirls through the square, stirring up dust and rattling the branches of the oak tree.  Small twigs, a smattering of leaves, and a lone acorn are shaken loose.  The nutty projectile drops directly on Nakaira&#039;s head, bounces off, and tumbles to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
Kippe glances between Nakaira and a large acorn.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira thrusts her gloved hand into the air while chanting a magic phrase under her breath.  A stream of ebon black essence shoots forcefully upwards from the silvery sigil on her glove.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Got you, you little...&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== OOC Observations ==&lt;br /&gt;
The worms which have taken up residence in Nakaira&#039;s chest cavity are a species of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychaete marine bristleworms].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira&#039;s nickname &amp;quot;the Näkki,&amp;quot; as well as the legend of her being a malicious shapeshifting water spirit who drowns people, are a reference to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neck_(water_spirit) Neck] of Germanic and Scandinavian myth; &amp;quot;Näkki&amp;quot;, specifically, is the Finnish name/spelling.  There are also distinct parallels with the Slavic [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusalka rusalka], who is herself an undead drowning victim.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Stormyrain_Marijka_final_2.jpg|thumb|Marijka as depicted by Stormyrain]]&lt;br /&gt;
== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You see Marijka the Warbringer.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Half-Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
She is moderately tall and has a well-toned frame.  She appears to be in the spring of life.  She has argent-flecked grey-green eyes and caramel-colored skin.  She has waist length, sleek chestnut hair worn in a chignon.  She has an angular face and subtly pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
She has a pair of amethyst studs set along the slender tips of her pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an ashen leather cavalier hat adorned with a bold violet feather, a tailored ash grey woolen longcoat lined in plush fox fur, a vaalin and faenor turtle figure, a silver falchion pin set with amethysts, a slender vaalin-buckled dark leather bandolier over an intricately sculpted suit of ebon-veined mithglin half-plate with a quilted maroon cotton gambeson underneath, a dark leather swordbelt cinched with a vaalin buckle, a sturdy dark leather gem pouch, a scuffed leather kit with a mithril buckle, a pair of fitted pale ash-hued suede pants, and some thick wool socks with ribbed cuffs under some vaalin-buckled dark doeskin boots lined with soft lambskin.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;A slender mail-clad figure, resolutely alone in the center of a desolate battlefield.  Swords brandished threateningly, she defies the approach of friend and foe alike.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka was born in Mestanir to a human woman in 5015; she never met her elven father, who her mother refused to discuss, and thus grew up knowing nothing of him.  Given a virtually complete lack of supervision from an extremely young age, Marijka roamed the city on her own until finding a place for herself among the ragged orphans on the streets.  While she did have a home to return to, she saw little point or benefit, and eventually stopped bothering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of ten, Mari got into a ferocious brawl with a gang of other street kids; heavily outnumbered, she nonetheless managed to eventually fight her way free.  While huddled in an alley nursing her wounds, she was found by an older human man who offered to let her come home and live with him.  Bemused by the concept of a safe and orderly life in a proper home, she accepted.  This is where she met the young man she now calls her brother, [[Nicolao Glass|Nicolao]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was taken on as an apprentice alongside Nicolao to learn basic elemental magic, but by 5028, her lack of both aptitude and focus had led to the dramatic termination of her apprenticeship. Seeing little benefit in remaining as a de facto servant, she struck out on her own once again in 5029. Her once-mentor made no effort to dissuade her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka next surfaced in 5034 as a junior recruit in a small, largely unsuccessful mercenary band who eventually turned to brigandry to support themselves.  Soon enough, they were defeated and scattered by their poor selection of would-be victims.  Marijka continued to drift throughout the northern Turamzzyrian Empire for the next several years, periodically returning to Mestanir to satisfy herself that Nicolao was still alive and safe.  It was during this time that she began learning swordsmanship, beginning first with a rapier and main-gauche, then experimenting with several other styles before finally settling upon her now-signature matched falchions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5038 she returned to Mestanir once again, learning this time that Nicolao had been arrested and imprisoned since her previous visit. She began restricting her ranging to the more immediate area surrounding Mestanir&#039;s capital city in order to stay better apprised of his status, all the while continuing to refine her skills with her blades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5103, the neighboring barony of [[Jantalar]] invaded and occupied Mestanir in its bid for expansion throughout the northern Turamzzyrian Empire.  She gained somewhat of a reputation for ferocity in battle against the initial attacks, and was rumoured to be active within resistance movements after the fall of Mestanir&#039;s defenders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5114, the dark summoner [[Elithain Cross]] attacked and laid waste to two-thirds of Mestanir&#039;s capital city, as well as a great portion of its surrounding lands.  In the chaos surrounding the war, Marijka took up the signature red cape of the newly forming Red Brigade.  However, mere days later, she deserted as abruptly as she had joined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5115, Marijka again surfaced, this time in [[Solhaven]] in the barony of [[Vornavis]], searching for her foster brother.  Eventually reunited with him, she seems to have settled in the independent city of Wehnimer&#039;s Landing and its environs for the time being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Fashanos 9, 5118, Marijka was one of three individuals [[Rise of Rone - Bounty Fraud, Granthem Blackouts, and a Triple Threat#Continued Threats?|identified as targets]] by the Landing vigilante killer &amp;quot;Spirit of Rone,&amp;quot; due to alleged connections with [[Cruxophim|Mayor Cruxophim Thirteen]], previously accused by said killer of being the heart of corruption in the Landing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Late in the evening of Fashanos 15, 5118, &amp;quot;Rone&amp;quot; made good on his threat.  With a dramatic rope-swinging entry through the Mayor&#039;s office window in the Moot Hall, he abducted Marijka from amongst a group of witnesses and dragged her back out to the roof, where he killed her by evisceration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5120, Marijka renounced her human blood, forsaking her Imperial heritage to adopt the culture and language of the Faendryl dark elves.&lt;br /&gt;

Member of the [[Faendryl Enclave]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Quotes ==&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You quietly whisper to Goblyn, &amp;quot;The mark of true artistry is to use lies as one&#039;s brush to paint the truth.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn raises an eyebrow in your direction.&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn whispers, &amp;quot;I do not like liars.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn shrugs at you.&lt;br /&gt;
You quietly whisper to Goblyn, &amp;quot;Truth is so subjective as to be meaningless.  We all lie.  Politeness is a facade, a charade.  Making an effort to be kind which does not come automatically to you is a form of lie.  Cosmetics are a lie.  The faces we present to the world are a masquerade, each with their own.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn whispers, &amp;quot;I.. am maybe not agreeing with this.  But maybe we do have different definitions of what it is to &#039;lie&#039;.  We will maybe debate this in some day.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking idly to Leafiara, you say, &amp;quot;So how does one determine how many useless people a useful person is worth?  That man seemed to disagree with the assessment of &amp;quot;hundreds,&amp;quot; but he didn&#039;t offer another valuation in its place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking tentatively to you, Leafiara says, &amp;quot;Well, I think he just sees people as pure numbers... give up one to save ten, give up two to save five, as long as one number is larger...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking indifferently to you, Leafiara says, &amp;quot;But then he accuses -me- of not caring about people.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Leafiara, you say, &amp;quot;Ridiculous.  That sounds like the sort of logic a useless person would favour.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
You thoughtfully say, &amp;quot;It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism whilst the wolves remain of differing opinion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking to Ceyrin, you remind, &amp;quot;You had just said that you have no context for the meaning of any of the things I&#039;d been saying.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Ceyrin, you tease, &amp;quot;To which I was going to respond, I&#039;d tell you but then I&#039;d have to kill you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking suspiciously to you, Ceyrin inquires, &amp;quot;Are you flirting with me?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== OOC Observations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;As Marijka&#039;s player tends to play her cards close to her chest about a lot of Marijka&#039;s history, affiliations, and involvements, other players/characters should feel welcome to add their own perceptions, experiences, and observations to this section.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Marijka has been seen upon several occasions wearing a cassock, prayer beads, and other clerical accoutrements, representing herself as a lay sister affiliated with [[Orders of the Turamzzyrian Empire#The Elders of the Everwatch Tower|Everwatch Tower]].&lt;br /&gt;

== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You see Marijka the Warbringer.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Half-Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
She is moderately tall and has a well-toned frame.  She appears to be in the spring of life.  She has argent-flecked grey-green eyes and caramel-colored skin.  She has waist length, sleek chestnut hair worn in a chignon.  She has an angular face and subtly pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
She has a pair of amethyst studs set along the slender tips of her pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an ashen leather cavalier hat adorned with a bold violet feather, a tailored ash grey woolen longcoat lined in plush fox fur, a Brigatta unicorn pin, a silver falchion pin set with amethysts, a slender vaalin-buckled dark leather bandolier over an intricately sculpted suit of ebon-veined mithglin half-plate with a quilted maroon cotton gambeson underneath, a silver-strung deep purple amethyst wristlet, a faenor-leafed onyx rose ring, a dark leather swordbelt cinched with a vaalin buckle, a sturdy dark leather gem pouch, a scuffed leather kit with a mithril buckle, a pair of fitted pale ash-hued suede pants, and some thick wool socks with ribbed cuffs under some vaalin-buckled dark doeskin boots lined with soft lambskin.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;A slender mail-clad figure, resolutely alone in the center of a desolate battlefield.  Swords brandished threateningly, she defies the approach of friend and foe alike.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka was born in Mestanir to a human woman in 5015; she never met her elven father, who her mother refused to discuss, and thus grew up knowing nothing of him.

Goblyn raises an eyebrow in your direction.&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn whispers, &amp;quot;I do not like liars.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn shrugs at you.&lt;br /&gt;
You quietly whisper to Goblyn, &amp;quot;Truth is so subjective as to be meaningless.  We all lie.  Politeness is a facade, a charade.  Making an effort to be kind which does not come automatically to you is a form of lie.  Cosmetics are a lie.  The faces we present to the world are a masquerade, each with their own.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn whispers, &amp;quot;I.. am maybe not agreeing with this.  But maybe we do have different definitions of what it is to &#039;lie&#039;.  We will maybe debate this in some day.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking idly to Leafiara, you say, &amp;quot;So how does one determine how many useless people a useful person is worth?  That man seemed to disagree with the assessment of &amp;quot;hundreds,&amp;quot; but he didn&#039;t offer another valuation in its place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking tentatively to you, Leafiara says, &amp;quot;Well, I think he just sees people as pure numbers... give up one to save ten, give up two to save five, as long as one number is larger...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking indifferently to you, Leafiara says, &amp;quot;But then he accuses -me- of not caring about people.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Leafiara, you say, &amp;quot;Ridiculous.  That sounds like the sort of logic a useless person would favour.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
You thoughtfully say, &amp;quot;It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism whilst the wolves remain of differing opinion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking to Ceyrin, you remind, &amp;quot;You had just said that you have no context for the meaning of any of the things I&#039;d been saying.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Ceyrin, you tease, &amp;quot;To which I was going to respond, I&#039;d tell you but then I&#039;d have to kill you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking suspiciously to you, Ceyrin inquires, &amp;quot;Are you flirting with me?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
__FORCETOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You see Nakaira the Defiler.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
She is average height and has an emaciated body.  She appears to have one foot in the grave.  She has milky white eyes and waxen-looking, pale skin.  She has very long, matted black hair in a wild miasma of tangles.  She has a gaunt, severely angled face and high cheekbones.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an invar hexagram earring, a tarnish-blackened slender silver chain dangling a pentacle-incised bloodjewel, a brilliant fire pearl suspended from a thick leather cord, a black silk cloak held at the throat by a scarlet despanal toggle, some elegant silver-insigiled conjuring gloves fastened with shadowglass buttons, a water-stained corset gown of zaffre satin overlaid with black lace tatters, some thick velvet robes with a deep silk-lined hood, a series of bone bracelets carved with screaming faces, a silver filigree talon ring, a sapphire-inset ring etched with leaping waves, a twisted faewood ring, a pallid grey leather sheath bound in iron, and a pair of narrow leather shoes.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira Kedeviss Faendryl is the name of a female summoner assigned to the scout cutter [[Siege of Ta&#039;Ashrim|&#039;&#039;Veil Shark&#039;&#039;]], a ship attached to the invasion fleet deployed to destroy [[House of Ashrim|House Ta&#039;Ashrim&#039;s]] lands and people during the [[Sea Elf War]] some five thousand years prior to the modern era.  She was named &amp;quot;Näkki&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Sea Witch&amp;quot; by Ashrim refugees, the former a reference to the legend of a malicious, shapeshifting water spirit who lured people to their deaths in the sea.  The &#039;&#039;Veil Shark&#039;&#039; was ultimately believed lost at sea with all hands when it failed to make rendezvous with the surviving remnants of Fleet Task A for the return voyage to Ta&#039;Faendryl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the modern era, a vastly older dark elf calling herself Nakaira appeared with the return of the [[Ebon Gate]] festival in Eoantos 5117, although resembling a typical Faendryl far less than a pallid, decaying drowning victim.  Speaking in a characteristic rasp, she described five millenia of existence in a state between life and undeath at the bottom of the sea before finally washing ashore on Caligos.  A necromancer, she assisted with the [[Rise_of_Rone_-_5118-03-19_-_Enacting_the_Pillar_Plan_(log)|infusion of shadow energy]] into three of Grishom Stone&#039;s five bone pillars in Charlatos 5118, and since has been seen sporadically in the environs of the Landing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Known Affiliations ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Sorcerer Guild]]&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Faendryl Enclave]]&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Order of the Shadow]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== IC Observations ==&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira is afflicted with a terrible cough which never heals or subsides, and seems impervious to the best efforts of empaths to diagnose and treat.  This may be related somehow to her omnipresent raspy voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As often as not, for no explicable reason, Nakaira is dripping wet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although not technically an elementalist, Nakaira possesses an elemental affinity for water which is sometimes apparent in her casting of spells from the Minor Elemental sphere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking to Nakaira, Starcrye says, &amp;quot;I say old girl....hack it up.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Starcrye, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Do you, truly?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira gazes with interest at Starcrye.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira clasps her hand over her mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira makes a gurgling sound in her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira makes a gurgling sound in her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira coughs.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira bends forward slightly, shoulders drawn in, and lets loose with a terrible, hacking cough.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances at a slimy white seaworm in her hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Dark Elven, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;The worms are particularly restless tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka glances at Nakaira.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking slowly to Nakaira, Marijka says, &amp;quot;You... did not... just cough up... a sea worm.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances at Marijka.&lt;br /&gt;
A pained expression crosses Baelrun&#039;s face.&lt;br /&gt;
Baelrun gags.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Dark Elven to Marijka, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Very well.  I did not.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;A goblin whips out a stake and mallet, grins and hammers it into the chest of Nakaira.  When Nakaira doesn&#039;t collapse into dust, the goblin grimaces and says, &amp;quot;Cooda swoorn woos undead.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;An errant gust of wind swirls through the square, stirring up dust and rattling the branches of the oak tree.  Small twigs, a smattering of leaves, and a lone acorn are shaken loose.  The nutty projectile drops directly on Nakaira&#039;s head, bounces off, and tumbles to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
Kippe glances between Nakaira and a large acorn.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira thrusts her gloved hand into the air while chanting a magic phrase under her breath.  A stream of ebon black essence shoots forcefully upwards from the silvery sigil on her glove.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Got you, you little...&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== OOC Observations ==&lt;br /&gt;
The worms which have taken up residence in Nakaira&#039;s chest cavity are a species of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychaete marine bristleworms].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira&#039;s nickname &amp;quot;the Näkki,&amp;quot; as well as the legend of her being a malicious shapeshifting water spirit who drowns people, are a reference to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neck_(water_spirit) Neck] of Germanic and Scandinavian myth; &amp;quot;Näkki&amp;quot;, specifically, is the Finnish name/spelling.  There are also distinct parallels with the Slavic [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusalka rusalka], who is herself an undead drowning victim.&lt;br /&gt;

In the modern era, a dark elf calling herself Nakaira appeared with the return of the [[Ebon Gate]] festival in Eoantos 5117, although resembling a typical Faendryl far less than a pallid, decaying drowning victim.  Speaking in a characteristic rasp, she described five millenia of existence in a state between life and undeath at the bottom of the sea before finally being washed ashore on Caligos.  A necromancer, she assisted with the [[Rise_of_Rone_-_5118-03-19_-_Enacting_the_Pillar_Plan_(log)|infusion of shadow energy]] into three of Grishom Stone&#039;s five bone pillars in Charlatos 5118, and since has been seen sporadically in the environs of the Landing.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Faendryl Enclave]]&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Order of the Shadow]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== IC Observations ==&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira is afflicted with a terrible cough which never heals or subsides, and seems impervious to the best efforts of empaths to diagnose and treat.  This may be related somehow to her omnipresent raspy voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As often as not, for no explicable reason, Nakaira is dripping wet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although not technically an elementalist, Nakaira possesses an elemental affinity for water which is sometimes apparent in her casting of spells from the Minor Elemental sphere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking to Nakaira, Starcrye says, &amp;quot;I say old girl....hack it up.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Starcrye, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Do you, truly?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira gazes with interest at Starcrye.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira clasps her hand over her mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira makes a gurgling sound in her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira makes a gurgling sound in her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira coughs.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira bends forward slightly, shoulders drawn in, and lets loose with a terrible, hacking cough.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances at a slimy white seaworm in her hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Dark Elven, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;The worms are particularly restless tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka glances at Nakaira.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking slowly to Nakaira, Marijka says, &amp;quot;You... did not... just cough up... a sea worm.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances at Marijka.&lt;br /&gt;
A pained expression crosses Baelrun&#039;s face.&lt;br /&gt;
Baelrun gags.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Dark Elven to Marijka, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Very well.  I did not.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;A goblin whips out a stake and mallet, grins and hammers it into the chest of Nakaira.  When Nakaira doesn&#039;t collapse into dust, the goblin grimaces and says, &amp;quot;Cooda swoorn woos undead.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;An errant gust of wind swirls through the square, stirring up dust and rattling the branches of the oak tree.  Small twigs, a smattering of leaves, and a lone acorn are shaken loose.  The nutty projectile drops directly on Nakaira&#039;s head, bounces off, and tumbles to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
Kippe glances between Nakaira and a large acorn.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira thrusts her gloved hand into the air while chanting a magic phrase under her breath.  A stream of ebon black essence shoots forcefully upwards from the silvery sigil on her glove.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Got you, you little...&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== OOC Observations ==&lt;br /&gt;
The worms which have taken up residence in Nakaira&#039;s chest cavity are a species of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychaete|marine bristleworms]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira&#039;s nickname &amp;quot;the Näkki,&amp;quot; as well as the legend of her being a malicious shapeshifting water spirit who drowns people, are a reference to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neck_(water_spirit)|Neck]] of Germanic and Scandinavian myth; &amp;quot;Näkki&amp;quot;, specifically, is the Finnish name/spelling.  There are also distinct parallels with the Slavic rusalka, who is herself an undead drowning victim.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You see Nakaira the Defiler.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
She is average height and has an emaciated body.  She appears to have one foot in the grave.  She has milky white eyes and waxen-looking, pale skin.  She has very long, matted black hair in a wild miasma of tangles.  She has a gaunt, severely angled face and high cheekbones.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an invar hexagram earring, a tarnish-blackened slender silver chain dangling a pentacle-incised bloodjewel, a brilliant fire pearl suspended from a thick leather cord, a black silk cloak held at the throat by a scarlet despanal toggle, some elegant silver-insigiled conjuring gloves fastened with shadowglass buttons, a water-stained corset gown of zaffre satin overlaid with black lace tatters, some thick velvet robes with a deep silk-lined hood, a series of bone bracelets carved with screaming faces, a silver filigree talon ring, a sapphire-inset ring etched with leaping waves, a twisted faewood ring, a pallid grey leather sheath bound in iron, and a pair of narrow leather shoes.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira Kedeviss Faendryl is the name of a female summoner assigned to the scout cutter [[Siege of Ta&#039;Ashrim|&#039;&#039;Veil Shark&#039;&#039;]], a ship attached to the invasion fleet deployed to destroy [[House of Ashrim|House Ta&#039;Ashrim&#039;s]] lands and people during the [[Sea Elf War]] some five thousand years prior to the modern era.  She was named &amp;quot;Näkki&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Sea Witch&amp;quot; by Ashrim refugees, the former a reference to the legend of a malicious, shapeshifting water spirit who lured people to their deaths in the sea.

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Marijka&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;mŭ-rī-kə&#039;), formerly Marijka of Mestanir, is a female [[half-elf|hathlyn]] hailing from [[Mestanir]] in the [[Turamzzyrian Empire]].  She is skilled in the use of [[Two_Weapon_Combat|dual]] [[Edged_Weapons|swords]], typically being seen with a matched pair of [[falchion|falcatas or warblades]].  She divides her time between [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] and [[Solhaven]], being a [[Citizenship|citizen]] of the former, though occasionally can be found in [[Icemule Trace]].  She claims [[Nicolao Glass]] as her foster brother.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Stormyrain_Marijka_final_2.jpg|thumb|Marijka as depicted by Stormyrain]]&lt;br /&gt;
== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You see Marijka the Warbringer.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Half-Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
She is moderately tall and has a well-toned frame.  She appears to be in the spring of life.  She has argent-flecked grey-green eyes and caramel-colored skin.  She has waist length, sleek chestnut hair worn in a chignon.  She has an angular face and subtly pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
She has a pair of amethyst studs set along the slender tips of her pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an ashen leather cavalier hat adorned with a bold violet feather, a tailored ash grey woolen longcoat lined in plush fox fur, a Brigatta unicorn pin, a silver falchion pin set with amethysts, a slender vaalin-buckled dark leather bandolier over an intricately sculpted suit of ebon-veined mithglin half-plate with a quilted maroon cotton gambeson underneath, a silver-strung deep purple amethyst wristlet, a faenor-leafed onyx rose ring, a dark leather swordbelt cinched with a vaalin buckle, a sturdy dark leather gem pouch, a scuffed leather kit with a mithril buckle, a pair of fitted pale ash-hued suede pants, and some thick wool socks with ribbed cuffs under some vaalin-buckled dark doeskin boots lined with soft lambskin.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;A slender mail-clad figure, resolutely alone in the center of a desolate battlefield.  Swords brandished threateningly, she defies the approach of friend and foe alike.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka was born in Mestanir to a human woman in 5015; she never met her elven father, who her mother refused to discuss, and thus grew up knowing nothing of him.  Given a virtually complete lack of supervision from an extremely young age, Marijka roamed the city on her own until finding a place for herself among the ragged orphans on the streets.  While she did have a home to return to, she saw little point or benefit, and eventually stopped bothering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of ten, Mari got into a ferocious brawl with a gang of other street kids; heavily outnumbered, she nonetheless managed to eventually fight her way free.  While huddled in an alley nursing her wounds, she was found by an older human man who offered to let her come home and live with him.  Bemused by the concept of a safe and orderly life in a proper home, she accepted.  This is where she met the young man she now calls her brother, [[Nicolao Glass|Nicolao]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was taken on as an apprentice alongside Nicolao to learn basic elemental magic, but by 5028, her lack of both aptitude and focus had led to the dramatic termination of her apprenticeship. Seeing little benefit in remaining as a de facto servant, she struck out on her own once again in 5029. Her once-mentor made no effort to dissuade her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka next surfaced in 5034 as a junior recruit in a small, largely unsuccessful mercenary band who eventually turned to brigandry to support themselves.  Soon enough, they were defeated and scattered by their poor selection of would-be victims.  Marijka continued to drift throughout the northern Turamzzyrian Empire for the next several years, periodically returning to Mestanir to satisfy herself that Nicolao was still alive and safe.  It was during this time that she began learning swordsmanship, beginning first with a rapier and main-gauche, then experimenting with several other styles before finally settling upon her now-signature matched falchions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5038 she returned to Mestanir once again, learning this time that Nicolao had been arrested and imprisoned since her previous visit. She began restricting her ranging to the more immediate area surrounding Mestanir&#039;s capital city in order to stay better apprised of his status, all the while continuing to refine her skills with her blades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5103, the neighboring barony of [[Jantalar]] invaded and occupied Mestanir in its bid for expansion throughout the northern Turamzzyrian Empire.  She gained somewhat of a reputation for ferocity in battle against the initial attacks, and was rumoured to be active within resistance movements after the fall of Mestanir&#039;s defenders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5114, the dark summoner [[Elithain Cross]] attacked and laid waste to two-thirds of Mestanir&#039;s capital city, as well as a great portion of its surrounding lands.  In the chaos surrounding the war, Marijka took up the signature red cape of the newly forming Red Brigade.  However, mere days later, she deserted as abruptly as she had joined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5115, Marijka again surfaced, this time in [[Solhaven]] in the barony of [[Vornavis]], searching for her foster brother.  Eventually reunited with him, she seems to have settled in the independent city of Wehnimer&#039;s Landing and its environs for the time being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Fashanos 9, 5118, Marijka was one of three individuals [[Rise of Rone - Bounty Fraud, Granthem Blackouts, and a Triple Threat#Continued Threats?|identified as targets]] by the Landing vigilante killer &amp;quot;Spirit of Rone,&amp;quot; due to alleged connections with [[Cruxophim|Mayor Cruxophim Thirteen]], previously accused by said killer of being the heart of corruption in the Landing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Late in the evening of Fashanos 15, 5118, &amp;quot;Rone&amp;quot; made good on his threat.  With a dramatic rope-swinging entry through the Mayor&#039;s office window in the Moot Hall, he abducted Marijka from amongst a group of witnesses and dragged her back out to the roof, where he killed her by evisceration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5120, Marijka renounced her human blood, forsaking her Imperial heritage to adopt the culture and language of the Faendryl dark elves.&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You quietly whisper to Goblyn, &amp;quot;The mark of true artistry is to use lies as one&#039;s brush to paint the truth.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn raises an eyebrow in your direction.&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn whispers, &amp;quot;I do not like liars.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn shrugs at you.&lt;br /&gt;
You quietly whisper to Goblyn, &amp;quot;Truth is so subjective as to be meaningless.  We all lie.  Politeness is a facade, a charade.  Making an effort to be kind which does not come automatically to you is a form of lie.  Cosmetics are a lie.  The faces we present to the world are a masquerade, each with their own.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn whispers, &amp;quot;I.. am maybe not agreeing with this.  But maybe we do have different definitions of what it is to &#039;lie&#039;.  We will maybe debate this in some day.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking idly to Leafiara, you say, &amp;quot;So how does one determine how many useless people a useful person is worth?  That man seemed to disagree with the assessment of &amp;quot;hundreds,&amp;quot; but he didn&#039;t offer another valuation in its place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking tentatively to you, Leafiara says, &amp;quot;Well, I think he just sees people as pure numbers... give up one to save ten, give up two to save five, as long as one number is larger...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking indifferently to you, Leafiara says, &amp;quot;But then he accuses -me- of not caring about people.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Leafiara, you say, &amp;quot;Ridiculous.  That sounds like the sort of logic a useless person would favour.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
You thoughtfully say, &amp;quot;It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism whilst the wolves remain of differing opinion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

Speaking to Ceyrin, you tease, &amp;quot;To which I was going to respond, I&#039;d tell you but then I&#039;d have to kill you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You see Marijka the Warbringer.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Half-Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
She is moderately tall and has a well-toned frame.  She appears to be in the spring of life.  She has argent-flecked grey-green eyes and caramel-colored skin.  She has waist length, sleek chestnut hair worn in a chignon.  She has an angular face and subtly pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
She has a pair of amethyst studs set along the slender tips of her pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an ashen leather cavalier hat adorned with a bold violet feather, a tailored ash grey woolen longcoat lined in plush fox fur, a Brigatta unicorn pin, a silver falchion pin set with amethysts, a slender vaalin-buckled dark leather bandolier over an intricately sculpted suit of ebon-veined mithglin half-plate with a quilted maroon cotton gambeson underneath, a silver-strung deep purple amethyst wristlet, a faenor-leafed onyx rose ring, a dark leather swordbelt cinched with a vaalin buckle, a sturdy dark leather gem pouch, a scuffed leather kit with a mithril buckle, a pair of fitted pale ash-hued suede pants, and some thick wool socks with ribbed cuffs under some vaalin-buckled dark doeskin boots lined with soft lambskin.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;A slender mail-clad figure, resolutely alone in the center of a desolate battlefield.  Swords brandished threateningly, she defies the approach of friend and foe alike.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka was born in Mestanir to a human woman in 5015; she never met her elven father, who her mother refused to discuss, and thus grew up knowing nothing of him.  Given a virtually complete lack of supervision from an extremely young age, Marijka roamed the city on her own until finding a place for herself among the ragged orphans on the streets.  While she did have a home to return to, she saw little point or benefit, and eventually stopped bothering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of ten, Mari got into a ferocious brawl with a gang of other street kids; heavily outnumbered, she nonetheless managed to eventually fight her way free.  While huddled in an alley nursing her wounds, she was found by an older human man who offered to let her come home and live with him.  Bemused by the concept of a safe and orderly life in a proper home, she accepted.  This is where she met the young man she now calls her brother, [[Nicolao Glass|Nicolao]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was taken on as an apprentice alongside Nicolao to learn basic elemental magic, but by 5028, her lack of both aptitude and focus had led to the dramatic termination of her apprenticeship. Seeing little benefit in remaining as a de facto servant, she struck out on her own once again in 5029. Her once-mentor made no effort to dissuade her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka next surfaced in 5034 as a junior recruit in a small, largely unsuccessful mercenary band who eventually turned to brigandry to support themselves.  Soon enough, they were defeated and scattered by their poor selection of would-be victims.

&lt;br /&gt;
== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You see Nakaira the Defiler.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
She is average height and has an emaciated body.  She appears to have one foot in the grave.  She has milky white eyes and waxen-looking, pale skin.  She has very long, matted black hair in a wild miasma of tangles.  She has a gaunt, severely angled face and high cheekbones.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an invar hexagram earring, a tarnish-blackened slender silver chain dangling a pentacle-incised bloodjewel, a brilliant fire pearl suspended from a thick leather cord, a black silk cloak held at the throat by a scarlet despanal toggle, some elegant silver-insigiled conjuring gloves fastened with shadowglass buttons, a water-stained corset gown of zaffre satin overlaid with black lace tatters, some thick velvet robes with a deep silk-lined hood, a series of bone bracelets carved with screaming faces, a silver filigree talon ring, a sapphire-inset ring etched with leaping waves, a twisted faewood ring, a pallid grey leather sheath bound in iron, and a pair of narrow leather shoes.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira Kedeviss Faendryl is the name of a female summoner assigned to the scout cutter [[Siege of Ta&#039;Ashrim|&#039;&#039;Veil Shark&#039;&#039;]], a ship attached to the invasion fleet deployed to destroy [[House of Ashrim|House Ta&#039;Ashrim&#039;s]] lands and people during the [[Sea Elf War]] some five thousand years prior to the modern era.  She was named &amp;quot;Näkki&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Sea Witch&amp;quot; by Ashrim refugees, the former a reference to the legend of a malicious, shapeshifting water spirit who lured people to their deaths in the sea.  The &#039;&#039;Veil Shark&#039;&#039; was ultimately believed lost at sea with all hands when it failed to make rendezvous with the fleet to return to Ta&#039;Faendryl.&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking to Nakaira, Starcrye says, &amp;quot;I say old girl....hack it up.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Starcrye, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Do you, truly?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira gazes with interest at Starcrye.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira clasps her hand over her mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira makes a gurgling sound in her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira makes a gurgling sound in her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira coughs.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira bends forward slightly, shoulders drawn in, and lets loose with a terrible, hacking cough.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances at a slimy white seaworm in her hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Dark Elven, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;The worms are particularly active tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka glances at Nakaira.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking slowly to Nakaira, Marijka says, &amp;quot;You... did not... just cough up... a sea worm.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances at Marijka.&lt;br /&gt;
A pained expression crosses Baelrun&#039;s face.&lt;br /&gt;
Baelrun gags.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Dark Elven to Marijka, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Very well.  I did not.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;A goblin whips out a stake and mallet, grins and hammers it into the chest of Nakaira.  When Nakaira doesn&#039;t collapse into dust, the goblin grimaces and says, &amp;quot;Cooda swoorn woos undead.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;An errant gust of wind swirls through the square, stirring up dust and rattling the branches of the oak tree.  Small twigs, a smattering of leaves, and a lone acorn are shaken loose.  The nutty projectile drops directly on Nakaira&#039;s head, bounces off, and tumbles to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
Kippe glances between Nakaira and a large acorn.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances up.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira thrusts her gloved hand into the air while chanting a magic phrase under her breath.  A stream of ebon black essence shoots forcefully upwards from the silvery sigil on her glove.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Got you, you little...&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You see Nakaira the Defiler.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
She is average height and has an emaciated body.  She appears to have one foot in the grave.  She has milky white eyes and waxen-looking, pale skin.  She has very long, matted black hair in a wild miasma of tangles.  She has a gaunt, severely angled face and high cheekbones.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing a brilliant fire pearl suspended from a thick leather cord, an ebony hooded linen cloak, some elegant silver-insigiled conjuring gloves fastened with shadowglass buttons, an embroidered muslin book satchel, some thick velvet robes with a deep silk-lined hood, a water-stained corset gown of zaffre satin overlaid with black lace tatters, a series of bone bracelets carved with screaming faces, a sapphire-inset ring etched with leaping waves, a dark leather survival kit, and a pair of narrow leather shoes.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira Kedeviss Faendryl is the name of a female summoner assigned to the scout cutter [[Siege of Ta&#039;Ashrim|&#039;&#039;Veil Shark&#039;&#039;]], a ship attached to the invasion fleet deployed to destroy [[House of Ashrim|House Ta&#039;Ashrim&#039;s]] lands and people during the [[Sea Elf War]] some five thousand years prior to the modern era.  She was named &amp;quot;Näkki&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Sea Witch&amp;quot; by Ashrim refugees, the former a reference to the legend of a malicious, shapeshifting water spirit who lured people to their deaths in the sea.  The &#039;&#039;Veil Shark&#039;&#039; was ultimately believed lost at sea with all hands when it failed to return to Ta&#039;Faendryl.&lt;br /&gt;

Nakaira gazes with interest at Starcrye.&lt;br /&gt;

Nakaira bends forward slightly, shoulders drawn in, and lets loose with a terrible, hacking cough.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances at a slimy white seaworm in her hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Dark Elven, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;The worms are particularly active tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka glances at Nakaira.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking slowly to Nakaira, Marijka says, &amp;quot;You... did not... just cough up... a sea worm.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances at Marijka.&lt;br /&gt;
A pained expression crosses Baelrun&#039;s face.&lt;br /&gt;
Baelrun gags.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Dark Elven to Marijka, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Very well.  I did not.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;A goblin whips out a stake and mallet, grins and hammers it into the chest of Nakaira.  When Nakaira doesn&#039;t collapse into dust, the goblin grimaces and says, &amp;quot;Cooda swoorn woos undead.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You see Nakaira the Defiler.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
She is average height and has an emaciated body.  She appears to have one foot in the grave.  She has piercing dark ink blue eyes and waxen-looking, pale skin.  She has very long, matted black hair in a wild miasma of tangles.  She has a gaunt, severely angled face and high cheekbones.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing a brilliant fire pearl suspended from a thick leather cord, an ebony hooded linen cloak, some elegant silver-insigiled conjuring gloves fastened with shadowglass buttons, an embroidered muslin book satchel, some thick velvet robes with a deep silk-lined hood, a water-stained corset gown of zaffre satin overlaid with black lace tatters, a series of bone bracelets carved with screaming faces, a sapphire-inset ring etched with leaping waves, a dark leather survival kit, and a pair of narrow leather shoes.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira Kedeviss Faendryl is the name of a female summoner assigned to the scout cutter [[Siege of Ta&#039;Ashrim|&#039;&#039;Veil Shark&#039;&#039;]], a ship attached to the invasion fleet deployed to destroy [[House of Ashrim|House Ta&#039;Ashrim&#039;s]] lands and people during the [[Sea Elf War]] some five thousand years prior to the modern era.  She was named &amp;quot;Näkki&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Sea Witch&amp;quot; by Ashrim refugees, the former a reference to the legend of a malicious, shapeshifting water spirit who lured people to their deaths in the sea.  The &#039;&#039;Veil Shark&#039;&#039; was ultimately believed lost with all hands in a storm before returning to Ta&#039;Faendryl.&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking to Nakaira, Starcrye says, &amp;quot;I say old girl....hack it up.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Starcrye, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Do you, truly?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira gazes with interest at Starcrye.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira clasps her hand over her mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira makes a gurgling sound in her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira makes a gurgling sound in her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira coughs.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira bends forward slightly, shoulders drawn in, and lets loose with a terrible, hacking cough.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances at a slimy white seaworm in her hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Dark Elven, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;The worms are particularly active tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka glances at Nakaira.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking slowly to Nakaira, Marijka says, &amp;quot;You... did not... just cough up... a sea worm.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances at Marijka.&lt;br /&gt;
A pained expression crosses Baelrun&#039;s face.&lt;br /&gt;
Baelrun gags.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Dark Elven to Marijka, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Very well.  I did not.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Aezora Chelonida Loenthra&#039;&#039;&#039; is a female [[elf]] hailing from [[Ta&#039;Loenthra]] in the [[Elven Nations]].  She is a young, up-and-coming musician; her course of study was a double focus in woodwinds and stringed instruments.  She can most frequently be found in [[Ta&#039;Illistim]], [[Ta&#039;Vaalor]], or [[Mist Harbor]].&lt;br /&gt;

== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You see Aezora.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Loenthra Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
She is shorter than average and has a delicately lithe build.  She appears to be in the bloom of youth.  She has gold-flecked jade green eyes and fair skin.  She has shoulder length, tousled honey blonde hair styled in face-framing, feathery layers.  She has an angular face and long, slim fingers.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing a cream velvet feystone-strung choker, a crystal amulet, a vanilla-hued pleated paeline cape with a rounded asymmetric collar, a dark amethyst flyrsilk tote with an opal clasp, some burnished full leather, an off-the-shoulder cream silk blouse, a dark leather survival kit, a silver-traced grey silk gem pouch, a deep plum silk skirt adorned with swathes of black lace, an ankle sheath, and some tailored black doeskin boots with thick cord laces.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Aezora is young and has yet had little time to make her mark upon the world.  Her most notable accomplishment to date is to have graduated with distinction at an unusually early age from a prestigious private music academy in Ta&#039;Loenthra; even more impressively, she managed this while pursuing a doubled course of study of both stringed instruments and woodwinds, where most students studied only one.  She therefore has a reputation among patrons of the musical arts as a rising star whose fledgling career might bear following closely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having completed her novice studies and graduated, she is now travelling throughout the Elven Nations for her journeyman years to round out her knowledge of theory with practical performing arts.&lt;br /&gt;

Aezora&#039;s private music education is depicted in a way which bears very close similarities to the medieval guild system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A hopeful musician begins at the guild-recognised rank of Novice from the time they enroll in the academy.  Their formal education encompasses ranks 1 through 5 of the instrument learning system.  The musician learns the finer points of music history, theory, composition, and the basics of instrumental and vocal performance over the period of a number of years.  The student typically trains on only a single instrument.  Aezora&#039;s study of two instruments is an advanced program, equivalent to what might be called an honors program in a contemporary academic institution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The final event of one&#039;s novice study is a practical examination and something of a formal presentation of a musician to society.  A private recital is held for an audience consisting of patrons of the musical arts and benefactors of the school.  The musicians are here to impress, and a successful performance will result in the novice&#039;s graduation and elevation to the guild-recognised status of Apprentice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As an apprentice, the musician earns a rather less formal practical introduction to bardhood.  They learn a patron&#039;s expectations and obligations; they gain valuable experience in live performance in small settings to round out their hard-won theoretical skills, they begin formulating the network of social contacts which will be vital to a successful musical career.  Most importantly, as the patrons are vetted by the academy, they learn what a sponsor&#039;s reasonable expectations might be, and how not to be trapped in an unbalanced relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The apprenticeship period, encompassing ranks 6 through 13 of the instrument learning system, is less rigidly defined than the novitiate studies, but after perhaps ten to thirty years, the patron will intend to gain considerable social status by presenting an accomplished musician to their peers.  At this point the formal relationship of patronship is dissolved and the musician is now considered professionally skilled and employable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The musician may opt for the ease of a comfortable position as a professional musician and retain this status indefinitely.  The great majority of formally educated musicians do precisely that.  They have attained status, some amount of comfort and income, and appreciative audiences.  For the truly committed, the genuinely inspired, the driven, however... this is merely when the real work begins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ancient tradition of the &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;journey&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; comes next, bringing with it the guild-recognised title of journeyman and ranks 14 through 19 of the instrument learning system.  The musician is free to go where their feet, hands, and ears lead them, wandering the world and pursuing what study they deem necessary to bring their considerable skills to a razor-honed edge.  All direction and requirements for this period are at their sole discretion.  This is the basis of the fabled wanderlust of the skilled bard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After decades of refining, polishing, deconstructing, and building once more, upon her own sole recognizance the musician may finally return to the Guild of Bards and offer a masterpiece to prove her absolute and inarguable mastery of music.  Having succeeded, she is granted the final rank, that of Adept.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All of the above is, of course, a depiction of Aezora&#039;s experience specifically and should not be assumed to mirror anybody else&#039;s experience... unless they should indicate that it does.&lt;br /&gt;

== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira Kedeviss Faendryl is the name of a female summoner assigned to the scout cutter [[Siege of Ta&#039;Ashrim|&#039;&#039;Veil Shark&#039;&#039;]], a ship attached to the invasion fleet deployed to destroy [[House of Ashrim|House Ta&#039;Ashrim&#039;s]] lands and people during the [[Sea Elf War]] some five thousand years prior to the modern era.  She was named &amp;quot;Näkki&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Sea Witch&amp;quot; by Ashrim refugees, the former a reference to the legend of a malicious, shapeshifting water spirit who lured people to their deaths in the sea.&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking to Nakaira, Starcrye says, &amp;quot;I say old girl....hack it up.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Starcrye, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Do you, truly?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira gazes with interest at Starcrye.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira clasps her hand over her mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira makes a gurgling sound in her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira makes a gurgling sound in her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira coughs.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira bends forward slightly, shoulders drawn in, and lets loose with a terrible, hacking cough.&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances at a slimy white seaworm in her hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Dark Elven, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;The worms are particularly active tonight.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka glances at Nakaira.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking slowly to Nakaira, Marijka says, &amp;quot;You... did not... just cough up... a sea worm.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Nakaira glances at Marijka.&lt;br /&gt;
A pained expression crosses Baelrun&#039;s face.&lt;br /&gt;
Baelrun gags.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Dark Elven to Marijka, Nakaira rasps, &amp;quot;Very well.  I did not.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Marijka&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;mŭ-rī-kə&#039;), aka Marijka Sroznaya or Marijka of Mestanir, is a female [[half-elf|hathlyn]] hailing from [[Mestanir]] in the [[Turamzzyrian Empire]].  She is skilled in the use of [[Two_Weapon_Combat|dual]] [[Edged_Weapons|swords]], typically being seen with a matched pair of [[falchion|falcatas or warblades]].  She divides her time between [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]] and [[Solhaven]], being a [[Citizenship|citizen]] of the former, though occasionally can be found in [[Icemule Trace]].  She claims [[Nicolao Glass]] as her foster brother.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You see Marijka the Warbringer.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be a Half-Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
She is moderately tall and has a well-toned frame.  She appears to be in the spring of life.  She has argent-flecked grey-green eyes and caramel-colored skin.  She has waist length, sleek chestnut hair worn in a chignon.  She has an angular face and subtly pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
She has a pair of amethyst studs set along the slender tips of her pointed ears.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing an ashen leather cavalier hat adorned with a bold violet feather, a tailored ash grey woolen longcoat lined in plush fox fur, a Brigatta unicorn pin, a silver falchion pin set with amethysts, a slender vaalin-buckled dark leather bandolier over an intricately sculpted suit of ebon-veined mithglin half-plate with a quilted maroon cotton gambeson underneath, a silver-strung deep purple amethyst wristlet, a faenor-leafed onyx rose ring, a dark leather swordbelt cinched with a vaalin buckle, a sturdy dark leather gem pouch, a scuffed leather kit with a mithril buckle, a pair of fitted pale ash-hued suede pants, and some thick wool socks with ribbed cuffs under some vaalin-buckled dark doeskin boots lined with soft lambskin.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;A slender mail-clad figure, resolutely alone in the center of a desolate battlefield.  Swords brandished threateningly, she defies the approach of friend and foe alike.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka was born in Mestanir to a human woman in 5015; she never met her elven father, who her mother refused to discuss, and thus grew up knowing nothing of him.  Given a virtually complete lack of supervision from an extremely young age, Marijka roamed the city on her own until finding a place for herself among the ragged orphans on the streets.  While she did have a home to return to, she saw little point or benefit, and eventually stopped bothering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of ten, Mari got into a ferocious brawl with a gang of other street kids; heavily outnumbered, she nonetheless managed to eventually fight her way free.  While huddled in an alley nursing her wounds, she was found by an older human man who offered to let her come home and live with him.  Bemused by the concept of a safe and orderly life in a proper home, she accepted.  This is where she met the young man she now calls her brother, [[Nicolao Glass|Nicolao]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was taken on as an apprentice alongside Nicolao to learn basic elemental magic, but by 5028, her lack of both aptitude and focus had led to the dramatic termination of her apprenticeship. Seeing little benefit in remaining as a de facto servant, she struck out on her own once again in 5029. Her once-mentor made no effort to dissuade her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marijka next surfaced in 5034 as a junior recruit in a small, largely unsuccessful mercenary band who eventually turned to brigandry to support themselves.  Soon enough, they were defeated and scattered by their poor selection of would-be victims.  Marijka continued to drift throughout the northern Turamzzyrian Empire for the next several years, periodically returning to Mestanir to satisfy herself that Nicolao was still alive and safe.  It was during this time that she began learning swordsmanship, beginning first with a rapier and main-gauche, then experimenting with several other styles before finally settling upon her now-signature matched falchions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5038 she returned to Mestanir once again, learning this time that Nicolao had been arrested and imprisoned since her previous visit. She began restricting her ranging to the more immediate area surrounding Mestanir&#039;s capital city in order to stay better apprised of his status, all the while continuing to refine her skills with her blades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5103, the neighboring barony of [[Jantalar]] invaded and occupied Mestanir in its bid for expansion throughout the northern Turamzzyrian Empire.  She gained somewhat of a reputation for ferocity in battle against the initial attacks, and was rumoured to be active within resistance movements after the fall of Mestanir&#039;s defenders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5114, the dark summoner [[Elithain Cross]] attacked and laid waste to two-thirds of Mestanir&#039;s capital city, as well as a great portion of its surrounding lands.  In the chaos surrounding the war, Marijka took up the signature red cape of the newly forming Red Brigade.  However, mere days later, she deserted as abruptly as she had joined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 5115, Marijka again surfaced, this time in [[Solhaven]] in the barony of [[Vornavis]], searching for her foster brother.  Eventually reunited with him, she seems to have settled in the independent city of Wehnimer&#039;s Landing and its environs for the time being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Fashanos 9, 5118, Marijka was one of three individuals [[Rise of Rone - Bounty Fraud, Granthem Blackouts, and a Triple Threat#Continued Threats?|identified as targets]] by the Landing vigilante killer &amp;quot;Spirit of Rone,&amp;quot; due to alleged connections with [[Cruxophim|Mayor Cruxophim Thirteen]], previously accused by said killer of being the heart of corruption in the Landing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Late in the evening of Fashanos 15, 5118, &amp;quot;Rone&amp;quot; made good on his threat.  With a dramatic rope-swinging entry through the Mayor&#039;s office window in the Moot Hall, he abducted Marijka from amongst a group of witnesses and dragged her back out to the roof, where he killed her by evisceration.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;s&amp;gt;[[White Haven|House White Haven]]&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; (former)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Member of [[House Brigatta]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reaver of [[Order of the Shadow]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Quotes ==&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;You quietly whisper to Goblyn, &amp;quot;The mark of true artistry is to use lies as one&#039;s brush to paint the truth.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn raises an eyebrow in your direction.&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn whispers, &amp;quot;I do not like liars.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn shrugs at you.&lt;br /&gt;
You quietly whisper to Goblyn, &amp;quot;Truth is so subjective as to be meaningless.  We all lie.  Politeness is a facade, a charade.  Making an effort to be kind which does not come automatically to you is a form of lie.  Cosmetics are a lie.  The faces we present to the world are a masquerade, each with their own.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Goblyn whispers, &amp;quot;I.. am maybe not agreeing with this.  But maybe we do have different definitions of what it is to &#039;lie&#039;.  We will maybe debate this in some day.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking idly to Leafiara, you say, &amp;quot;So how does one determine how many useless people a useful person is worth?  That man seemed to disagree with the assessment of &amp;quot;hundreds,&amp;quot; but he didn&#039;t offer another valuation in its place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking tentatively to you, Leafiara says, &amp;quot;Well, I think he just sees people as pure numbers... give up one to save ten, give up two to save five, as long as one number is larger...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking indifferently to you, Leafiara says, &amp;quot;But then he accuses -me- of not caring about people.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Leafiara, you say, &amp;quot;Ridiculous.  That sounds like the sort of logic a useless person would favour.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
You thoughtfully say, &amp;quot;It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism whilst the wolves remain of differing opinion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Speaking to Ceyrin, you remind, &amp;quot;You had just said that you have no context for the meaning of any of the things I&#039;d been saying.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Ceyrin, you tease, &amp;quot;To which I was going to respond, I&#039;d tell you but then I&#039;d have to kill you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking suspiciously to you, Ceyrin inquires, &amp;quot;Are you flirting with me?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== OOC Observations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;As Marijka&#039;s player tends to play her cards close to her chest about a lot of Marijka&#039;s history, affiliations, and involvements, other players/characters should feel welcome to add their own perceptions, experiences, and observations to this section.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Marijka has been seen upon several occasions wearing a cassock, prayer beads, and other clerical accoutrements, representing herself as a lay sister affiliated with [[Orders of the Turamzzyrian Empire#The Elders of the Everwatch Tower|Everwatch Tower]].&lt;br /&gt;

He appears to be a Human of the Tehir tribes.&lt;br /&gt;
He is very tall.  He has piercing dark eyes and ebon skin.  The rest of his features are concealed by a sheer gauze veil hanging from his sun-bleached linen turban.&lt;br /&gt;
He has a plain wavy line scar around his left eye.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a sun-bleached linen turban with a sheer gauze veil, a white linen cloak, some alabaster white leather, a simple blued steel wristchain, some white leather handwraps, a white sash, a sturdy dark leather gem pouch, a scuffed and faded leather kit, a turquoise-clasped leather potion case, and some white leather footwraps.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;What we obtain too cheaply, we esteem too lightly; it&#039;s dearness only that gives everything its value. &amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little.  He who would accomplish much must sacrifice much.  He who would accomplish highly must sacrifice greatly.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;Bodily asceticism has always been the supreme road to spiritual knowledge. It is not possible for man to come to know the truth of life, the truth of the gods, or the truth of existence purely through intellectual categories.&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
