Characters

Loira Winford

Headshot of a woman with brown and silver hair pulled into a bun, blue eyes, and glasses.

My main character, from whom I draw my name! An Undead apothecary and mage, Loira is an intensely private woman with a strong sense of duty. She struggles to allow herself personal relationships and finds it difficult to relate to her more outgoing companions. As an apothecary her specialty is aerosols and while her focus was initially on deadly toxins, she has recently begun expanding her repertoire.Loira is a villain to a large number of people. Her turn towards ruthlessness came in part from being treated as a villain, as well as numerous personal betrayals, and a desire to protect her people. She shoulders the burden so they do not need to. She wants her people to be safe and there's nothing she won't do to advance that goal.Outide of her main canon (Azeroth), she exists as a Breton Necromancer working with the Dark Brotherhood, and has several other living iterations including one as a modern witch.Art by Bijannich, Goryglass and KottkrigArt.

Lesaine Elanorith is a Pallid Elf Bardlock raised by an Archfey. Curious, dreamy, easily distracted and mildly unnerving, Lesaine does not seem to take much seriously and is dreadfully forgetful. She has no memory of her life before the Feywilds, and is as unaware of the fact she has magic - she's just used to what she wants happening.Lesaine arrived on Khorvaire by way of a portal from the Shadowfell, and has been present on the continent for about a month. She desperately wants to return home, but knows there is something she must do. Her Mother is counting on her.Art by cmyklala and Zombie Cat.
