Role

Chapter 5

Minya had a dream, in which she was told to find every member of the
Theran Pantheon and paint their portraits for all the world to see. She
began with the Lurker in the Depths, given her fascination for dragon-
kind. She was scared to tears, but survived the experience and went
on to paint his image. He was pleased and gave her permission to share
it with the people. Inspired by his words, Minya continued to travel
Thera, searching for shrines and temples so that she could continue her
work.

Unfortunately for Minya, she found Thrakburzug, the God of the Orcs.
He came to her call in the swamps of Ysigrath and waited while she put
his image to canvas. Before she could finish, He tortured her and took
what he thought was her beauty. Though he destroyed the flesh of her
face and throat, He did not manage to take the true beauty of Minya,
which can still be found in her heart. - This DID have a profound effect
on her. She hates the way that she looks, but is doing everything in her
power to see through the ugly scars to the beauty inside. She is scared
to death to visit the Dark Gods of the Pantheon, knowing in her heart
that one will eventually destroy her.

In the meantime, she joined the Heralds of the Eternal Star, making it
clear to the High Herald that she wished to use the position as a platform
from which she could more easily exhibit her works. She wants all of her
paintings to hang in the Lyceum. She specified in her interview that she
was more reserved than the usual cadre of Heralds and she would probably
not fit in, but wished to be inducted anyway.

She has noticed a dramatic change over the last century, that being the
fact that she is now focusing on each task before her with a more defined
clarity. She is becoming much more structured and orderly and has little
patience for the chaotic nature that once defined her.
