Role

Chapter 26

Zaalreqwen. A young felar anti-paladin who seeks the village. Viera thinks
he is outright insane, though she humoured his request to speak with her.
Viera generally agrees to meet with people since she loves being the centre
of attention and she imagines they are there paying tribute with their
admiration of her. Viera found Zaalreqwen mostly quite incomprehensible,
but understood that he was a slave who was forced to serve the anti
paladins and then broke free of his captors. As for why he remains a member
of the anti paladins guild, Viera could not really understand his
explanation. But, a Villager anti paladin is an unusual adventurer, and for
this Viera thinks he is interesting enough to remember.

Coqui. Captain of the Brigade, a veteran Maran, and an archmage of
transmutation in her own right. Viera and Coqui had brief fights, neither
side making the kill. Then, Coqui spoke to Viera and they discussed magical
lore and theory briefly. This led to a longer conversation in the Inn, where
the two enemy archmages briefly set aside their differences and talked in
depth of magic. Viera explained her theory of how anti paladin magic worked
in terms of the concepts of Fiendish Patronage and Soul Energy Manipulation.
Coqui explained Transmutation and its related study of Biomancy, and their
links to the Positive Energy Plane. Viera was pleased to find a kindred
spirit in another mage. Ever since she fancied herself an archmage, Viera
had acquired a hobby of researching magical lore and theory, but this
practice is largely neglected by most adventurer mages, who prefer applying
their magic to the world instead of reading or writing magical lore.

Bazz. A shapeshifter and Elder Prophet from the Fortress. Like many Acolytes
he is thoughtful and more inclined to conversation than seeking battle.
Unlike Coqui he did not have an interest in magical theory. Instead, Bazz
asked Viera about her past and how she became who she is. Viera loves
interviews! In her dreams she imagines Theran reporters line up to interview
her so she can showboat and boast to them of her many impressive
accomplishments and excellent skin-and-hair care routine. She enjoyed
giving her proud self-embellishments so much that she neglected to ask Bazz
what she previously wanted to ask. Why is he called Dragonkeeper? Bah, Viera
was too caught up in her vanity and the limelight and forgot to ask.
