Role

Chapter 13

So where are we now? Ilyana, while not conventionally a frothing-in-your-mouth zealot, is definitely a zealot and idealist of a different order of magnitude. Her blood accordingly burns with the uncommon zeal of Zealot's Fervor.

While, as recounted in role chapter 1, her initial (pre-Tribunal) decade of crusading had soured her on the senseless bloodshed wreaked by conventional zealots, she has also since evolved into - oxymoronically - an anti-zealot zealot.

Her recent bout of literal self-flagellation (role chapter 12) is but one outward manifestation of her inner zeal and passion for Order and the Laws, her vision for a Spire that presents an alternative to Maran genocide of 'dark' races.

That she has converted her experiences to Extra Training should come as no surprise given her careful, diligent nature. Speak softly but carry a big stick, better safe than sorry, be prepared - all maxims that resonate with her.

Flows on from how she was a Late Bloomer who started her adventuring later than others. Role chapter 1, "Long past the time that most apprentices would have graduated and said their goodbyes... she yet remained at her mentors' feet by choice."

Of late, Ilyana has found herself also graced with communes that are difficult to dispel. This Fortified Faith she attributes to the strength of her faith in the inherent goodness of others, also in the righteousness of her unconventional path.

Last among her current edges of course, and perhaps unsurprising for any magistrate, is the fact that Ilyana is considered an Upstanding Citizen who is accordingly able to draw upon the benefits of life in civilization.
