'''Naamit DMVMD-Braggiani ''' (formerly DMonica) is a [[giantman]] [[bard]] and devout follower of [[Mularos]]. She resides at an estate outside the elven city of [[Ta'Illistim]]. She is an avid collector of whips and among her extensive collection, [[Holy Scourge]] is the most famous. She took the last name Braggiani in deference to apparent [[human]] ancestry in her bloodline, which she confirmed after obtaining the legendary weapon.

She took the last name Braggiani in deference to apparent [[Khlat|human ancestry]] in her bloodline, which she confirmed after obtaining the legendary weapon.


Described by some as ''an iron fist in a silken glove'', Naamit is both charismatic and ruthless. She has a particular dislike for the smell of [[Eryael_Ladrinyth|roses]] and if left long enough, the scent will drive her into a maddened rage. She is keenly interested in learning secrets so [[Loresinging]] is a natural fit for her. Naamit does not, however, sing for pleasure or audience.

Rumored to have been born on Eorgaen 12, 5061, Naamit took up residence in Wehnimer's Landing in 5096. She was married to Lord Tabalt Valkiryan, a dwarven warrior, until his unexpected death following a lucrative business deal in the following year. In the summer of 5098, she married Lord Reveko Mwani, a giantman ranger, to solidify a business venture, however he vanished under questionable circumstances sometime thereafter. She moved to Ta'Illistim in 5101, but still owns property in Wehnimer's Landing. Naamit was given the ''mark of Mularos'' in the form of a scar upon her neck on 23 Charlatos, 5102, presumably by the [[Eryael_Ladrinyth | Painlord Eryael ]] just prior to his arrival to Ta'Illistim. She fought on the side of the [[Dark Alliance]] during the [[Griffin Sword War]] and grew close to [[Harith Caerines]], the self-ascribed ''Whip of Mularos''. Harith appointed Naamit as proxy ''Whip'', in the event unfortunate circumstances befell her, which they eventually did. Naamit rescued Harith's soul (albeit temporarily) from [[The Pale|the Pale]] in 5103, but was unable to maintain control of Ta'Illistim in Harith's stead. She also formed a close friendship with [[Ysharra Nagorn|Ysharra]], and their affinity persists beyond the pain of time.

In the year 5118, Naamit acquired a piece of [[Black ora jewelry|black ora]] shaped curiously like the hilt of her whip; the antithetical artifact turned her neck to ruin, rendering her singing voice to sound like the piercing wail of a banshee. Storms are said to precede her arrival ever since. Naamit also took on a startlingly younger appearance upon completion of a [[A Healing Process|savage]] business deal.

As 5119 came screaming in and with flesh renewed, she forged a sanguine bond with a Meek (protector of balance) named [[Aahlara]], or ''The Bloody'', who presides over the Blood World version of an [[Elanthia|Elanthian]] alternate reality. The [[blood eagle]] Meek gave her a special device that would cause the Fallen Meek named [[Nazhor]] great harm. On Lumnea 15, Naamit confronted and killed Nazhor, after solving a series of complex puzzles meant to shield his location but she did not use the device the Blood had created. On Koaratos 22, he indeed returned with demons at his side, just as he'd sworn he would as he lay dying some months prior. With aid of the Blood nullifying agent, adventurers were able to oust Nazhor and silence him once and for all, solidifying the seat of a new Meek, [[Elspie]], in this dimension. By helping the adventurers, Naamit lost access both to ''The Bloody'', as well as Harith, who yet lived on in that dimension. As 5119 drew to a close however, her appearance began to wane once again.

5120 saw new business ventures for Naamit, as she relinquished her holdings in Wehnimer's Landing in the wake of political turmoil; the cost of doing business was too great. She used the funds to co-locate in both Mist Harbor and [[Kraken's Fall]], having found favorable prospects under local tax authorities.

In the first quarter of 5121, Naamit submitted a purchase offer for a tavern in Zul Logoth. The contract fell through just shy of 30 days, and so she returned to her estate in the east for a month, where she published a book titled, ''"Seven Hymns for the Pierced of Heart"''. Naamit headed to Kraken's Fall in the summer, and went on to lease a [[OSA|ship]] from a scurrilous sea captain in need of quick silver.

The year 5122 proved lucrative for Naamit: a once questionable endeavor, securing her departed husband's wealth, came to a surprising climax one Koaratos eve on the Isle of Four Winds. Some dared say she even smiled.

Naamit DMVMD-Braggiani (formerly DMonica) is a giantman bard and devout follower of Mularos. She resides at an estate outside the elven city of Ta'Illistim. She is an avid collector of whips and among her extensive collection, Holy Scourge is the most famous. She took the last name Braggiani in deference to apparent human ancestry in her bloodline, which she confirmed after obtaining the legendary weapon.

Described by some as an iron fist in a silken glove, Naamit is both charismatic and ruthless. She has a particular dislike for the smell of roses and if left long enough, the scent will drive her into a maddened rage. She is keenly interested in learning secrets so Loresinging is a natural fit for her. Naamit does not, however, sing for pleasure or audience.

Naamit is a Master Painter.

History

Rumored to have been born on Eorgaen 12, 5061, Naamit took up residence in Wehnimer's Landing in 5096. She was married to Lord Tabalt Valkiryan, a dwarven thief, until his unexpected death following a lucrative business deal in the following year. In the summer of 5098, she married Lord Reveko Mwani, a giantman ranger, to solidify a business venture, however he vanished under questionable circumstances sometime thereafter. She moved to Ta'Illistim in 5101, and until recently, still owned property in Wehnimer's Landing. Naamit was given the mark of Mularos in the form of a scar upon her neck on 23 Charlatos, 5102, presumably by the Painlord Eryael just prior to his arrival to Ta'Illistim. She fought on the side of the Dark Alliance during the Griffin Sword War and grew close to Harith Caerines, the self-ascribed Whip of Mularos. Harith appointed Naamit as proxy Whip, in the event unfortunate circumstances befell her, which they eventually did. Naamit rescued Harith's soul (albeit temporarily) from the Pale in 5103, but was unable to maintain control of Ta'Illistim in Harith's stead. She also formed a close friendship with Ysharra, and their affinity persists beyond the pain of time.

Naamit previously led a cult known as the Harem Dzosch; the group faded into obscurity upon her disappearance sometime between 5104 and 5106.

Naamit returned to the Elven Nations in 5116 after a decade-long journey of searching for any possible remnant of her former mentor, Harith. She took up residence at an estate outside the elven city of Ta'Illistim and restarted a small, but rewarding private business there. She was officially recognized as a Master Painter in Ivastaen, 5117, and granted Grand Lady status in Lumnea of the same year. Naamit was briefly bonded to Heartfire Durden, a giantman guardian, following a bloodbath in the Duskruin Arena trials of Phoenatos, 5117.

In the year 5118, Naamit acquired a piece of black ora shaped curiously like the hilt of her whip; the antithetical artifact turned her neck to ruin, rendering her singing voice to sound like the piercing wail of a banshee. Storms are said to precede her arrival ever since. Naamit also took on a startlingly younger appearance upon completion of a savage business deal.

As 5119 came screaming in and with flesh renewed, she forged a sanguine bond with a Meek (protector of balance) named Aahlara, or The Bloody, who presides over the Blood World version of an Elanthian alternate reality. The blood eagle Meek gave her a special device that would cause the Fallen Meek named Nazhor great harm. On Lumnea 15, Naamit confronted and killed Nazhor, after solving a series of complex puzzles meant to shield his location but she did not use the device the Blood had created. On Koaratos 22, he indeed returned with demons at his side, just as he'd sworn he would as he lay dying some months prior. With aid of the Blood nullifying agent, adventurers were able to oust Nazhor and silence him once and for all, solidifying the seat of a new Meek, Elspie, in this dimension. By helping the adventurers, Naamit lost access both to The Bloody, as well as Harith, who yet lived on in that dimension. As 5119 drew to a close, Naamit's appearance began to wane once again.

5120 saw new business ventures for Naamit, as she relinquished her holdings in Wehnimer's Landing in the wake of political turmoil; the cost of doing business was too great. She used the funds to co-locate in both Mist Harbor and Kraken's Fall, having found favorable prospects under local tax authorities.

In the first quarter of 5121, Naamit submitted a purchase offer for a tavern in Zul Logoth. The contract fell through just shy of 30 days, and so she returned to her estate in the east for a month, where she published a book titled, "Seven Hymns for the Pierced of Heart". Naamit headed to Kraken's Fall in the summer, and went on to lease a ship from a scurrilous sea captain in need of quick silver.

The year 5122 proved lucrative for Naamit: a once questionable endeavor, securing her departed husband's wealth, came to a surprising climax one Koaratos eve on the Isle of Four Winds. Some dared say she even smiled.

Appearance

In life:

It is difficult to get a good look at Naamit due to the number of mirror images of her nearby.
You see Madam Naamit DMVMD-Braggiani the Banshee of Mularos.
She appears to be a Giantman of the Issimir Clan.
She is shorter than average. She appears to be full grown. She has piercing vibrant green eyes and pale, alabaster skin. She has thick locks of long, glossy black hair worn center-parted in a straight curtain beneath a lace mantilla ensnared in a coronial of wickedly sharp thorns draped over her shoulders and brow. She has an angular face, a prominent nose and a fleshy, muscular build with generously proportioned hips. She has a myriad of thin chain-shaped scars running across her exposed flesh.
She has a deep black cuff of finely polished glaes in the middle of her nose, a deep black ring of finely polished glaes in her lip, a faint scar on her neck, some cross-like blackwork extending from the neck downward past her collarbone, a tattoo of a crimson heart pierced with a silver dagger on her chest, and a silver-limned indigo eel-shaped mark on her ankle.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a sinuous ghezyte-scaled whip of ancient lich skin in her right hand and a barbed white ora whip with a cross-like handle in her left hand.
She is wearing a writhing black ora cross, a tall gorget of unfurling roots caging an anatomical sanguine garnet heart, an hourglass girdle of burgundy-hazed onyx silk over a daring elesine gown of a grey-coiled jet hue, and a pair of elevated ashen leather boots set on grooved obsidian heels.

Inbetween:

It is difficult to get a good look at Naamit due to the number of mirror images of her nearby.
You see Brave Soul Naamit DMVMD-Braggiani the Banshee of Mularos.
Due to the mirror-finished mask she wears, it is difficult to determine her race...or even whether she is living or dead.
She is monstrous of form. Her features are hidden beneath an ebonwood mirror-finished mask, though her piercing vibrant green eyes shine through. She has thick locks of long, glossy black hair worn center-parted in a straight curtain beneath a lace mantilla ensnared in silver horsehairs draped over her shoulders and brow. Little else about her appearance is easy to distinguish.
She has a faint scar on her neck, some cross-like blackwork extending from the neck downward past her collarbone, and a silver-limned indigo eel-shaped mark on her ankle.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a barbed white ora whip with a cross-like handle in her right hand.
She is wearing a writhing black ora cross, a deeply v-necked alizarin velvet hunting gown slashed with atrament silk, a shapely girdle of inky black hematite silk, a scorched giantman's hand still bearing a silver wedding band, and some tattooed leather spike-heeled shoes capped with perforated metal.
She is riding a skeletal nightmare steed.
