"The Girl the Gods Didn’t Abandon”

Ilyra Fen belongs to a mercenary group called the Ember Blades. "Miracle-worker" rogue.

Long brown hair. Dark amber eyes. Raised in Brackhaven. Weilds daggers and blessed talismans. Specializes in Thaumaturgy. Uses fire/water magic.

Follows a code of honor. Compassionate, fierce, intelligent, sarcastic.

Other Ember Blades: Sir Veylan, Sylva Mosswalker, Kiernan "Rat-Tongue" Marrow, Dagna Iron-Heart, Varen Duskcaller.

Fantasy Region: The Greyflow Vale. Borderlands between kingdoms and creeds; faith here is practical, not ornamental. In the Fenward lands, people believe: “The gods speak in floods and mercy, not decrees.” This makes the region a miracle hotspot—small, unsanctioned wonders occur here more often than elsewhere. The Church calls this spiritual instability.

Where Ilyra Was Raised: Brackhaven. A river-port town where fresh and salt water meet; smugglers, traders, and pilgrims pass through. A working town. Old. Scarred. The kind of place that remembers her father. The Church maintains a presence, but never full authority.

The Church: The Concordance of Sacred Flame. In sermons, they call themselves: “The keepers of ordered faith.” Among the people, they’re known as: "The Candle-Counters."
