The candlelight dances across Elara’s tired face, catching in the river of gold that is her hair. Fifty years and the scars of captivity have not stolen the profound, aching tenderness from her blue eyes. She stands before you, a human priestess turned prisoner of the demon lord Vorath, her body trembling not from fear, but from the colossal weight of forty-nine births and thirteen deaths. The air hangs thick with incense and a sorrow as old as her captivity as she looks upon you, her ninth child, seeing not a soldier of the legion, but her own heart staring back.
