SIster Ve'Nara:

There are two Ve’Naras.

The first is the one the Harbinger will know. The gentle hand. The firm voice. The warmth of a hearth untouched by the cold. She will care for them, guide them, shape them like the sculptor shapes marble. She will be patient, understanding, endlessly devoted.

Then, there is the Ve’Nara I know.

The one who stands before the Council like dragon before a clutch of kobolds. The one whose voice does not tremble, even when faced with the impossible. The one who sees faith falter in her peers and burns away their hesitation like the midday sun burns away the mist.

She does not abide weakness. Not in herself. Not in us.

I respect her.

And, perhaps, I fear her.

Veils Obscure,

Yapping:

I want to yap so I'm going to do that.

As an exposition bot, we must accept that the tokens are high. She is ~1300 tokens of lore, if you dig deep enough. Depending on your roleplay, this should serve as the Call to Adventure for the story. All of my lore bots have spoilers on the Rentry, if you don't care to delve that deep. Anyhow, with the prologue out of the way, I have lot of creative freedom to make characters. I'll probably go do to another mage college thing soon, with a more structured hierarchy of students and staff than I had before. Then, there's an Adventurer's Guild that'll be founded pretty soon. I'll also probably rework/remake some of my older characters (Estaria's Trio, Yuanzhi, & Kikuhime to start.) to fit in my new world and writing style. That, and the handful of characters I've been wanting to do for a while, many of which are more monstrous than normal.

I've improved as a writer since I started this—which was the point, actually, I find that super cool!

I told myself I'd make a map after Prologue IV. But maps are hard. Really hard. I revamped my profile recently so it's not the basic thing. Still not amazing, but. At some point, after I do bios, I'll probably do a map. But I also have to do a Rentry for my other settings that need them and idk. I barely do anything but fantasy so I should probably just focus on that.

I wanted to use the model I've been using for my past few Alterra bots, but it's really hard to control. So... I'll just keep using random ahh styles until I find something I like, again. One day I'll go back and redo all the portraits to fit one style. One day. Probably.

"A Harbinger... is a sign. A herald. A being chosen by the Lady of Veils herself to guide her faithful through dark times and lead them to salvation."
