Tikba Liwan is an aelotoi cleric of Marlu who resides in Wehnimer's Landing.

Appearance

You see Tikba Liwan the Dark Crusader.
She appears to be an Aelotoi of the Gaeh'deh Clan.
She is taller than average.  She appears to be in the prime of life.  She has almond-shaped sea green eyes and sun-bronzed, coppery skin.  She has unevenly cut, tangled raven black hair pulled into a messy finger-raked bun and pinned haphazardly with a horn-slatted ornamental fan displaying a semicircular array of verlok feathers, leaving a few loose strands to hang about her face.  She has a perfectly symmetrical, delicately featured face and an irregular scar across her collarbone.  She has a pair of jade green wings adorned with some aqua sea glass ornaments striated with silvery threads.
Superimposed over Tikba's form is the ghostly silhouette of an aelotoi slave, a defiant expression on her face.
She gives off a contemplative demeanor.
She is wearing an iolite Marlu symbol, a stark white flyrsilk toqua spattered with detritus along its frayed hem, a lacquered kohl zydris back-scabbard, a pale grey surplice sleeved with gossamer wisps, a cowled ebon paeline cassock with twin slits down the back, an urglaes thumb-ring, a linen-wrapped slim zebrawood case, a pleated soft leather purse, an etched glass cylinder containing a malformed kiramon egg, a flowing onyx linen skirt embroidered with silver whorls, and a pair of hematite paeline wide-cuffed boots lofted on vor'taz horn heels.
The ground beneath Tikba writhes in swells of shadow, the demonic visages rising across her form before disappearing in a silent scream of dark mist.

Backstory

Tikba spent the first twenty years of her life on Bre'Naere in a mining colony, being forced by the kiramon to dig for increasingly rare gems in Bre'Naere's crust. When the portal to Elanthia opened, she escaped along with other aelotoi in her colony.

After arriving in Elanthia, Tikba lived in Cysaegir for several years, helping teach aelotoi children. At some point she decided to pursue a clerical vocation and became a Marluvian priest, a pursuit that required trips to Ta'Illistim to study relevant texts. Her dedication to Marlu caused some concern with her family, and after a frank discussion with them and the village elders, she departed Cysaegir for Wehnimer's Landing.
