Alaunquarra is a famed and well-respected wizard, open 'face' of The Bright, and also highly placed in the Nefa Aethel, the Queen's secret police. She is charming, personable even to non-citizens, and well-liked. She often attends public masquerades, and can be seen to step in and stand up for non-Elven rights.
Alaunquarra is also a ruthless and lethal individual with no moral qualms. She once cultivated a friendship with a human family over the course of thirteen years before turning their operations over to the secret police, leaving the children homeless and the adults tortured for further information on rebels. She walked away not shedding a tear for any of the individuals involved. Statistics: Alaunquarra is a Lawful Evil 3rd-level Rogue, and 7th-level Wizard. She is an incredible liar, and has a will of iron, defying some spells cast by those highly-ranked above her. She often wears robes enchanted to the hardness of armour, and bears a small courtier's fan that can transform into a bladed weapon equivalent to a short sword at the flick of a wrist. When in public, she wears an open mask that protects her from hostile magic. How you can use Alaunquarra in your game: - As the public face of The Bright, Alaunquarra might cross paths with a group of rising rebellious Player Characters bringing them out of a dangerous situation with her wits and spells. She can get them into contact with other members of The Bright, and even non-Elven rebel leaders. Her information sources are uncannily accurate, leading PCs to raids when the police guard is at its lowest, or to foes who threaten them. - If your PCs begin to suspect her, Alaunquarra is likely to stage some kind of rescue operation where they can witness her bloody torture for their identities and secrets about them. She is willing to trust in their capability and capacity for healing her afterwards to see her through, and her servants in the secret police know better than to disobey her orders. - As an enemy, Alaunquarra is resolute and malignant, using every scrap of fact she can find out about someone to use against them. Between her spells and her street knowledge, little can escape her. If your PCs have families, she will find them. If they hide, she will track them with magic, recalling tattoos, distinctive trinkets they possess, or arcane marks she has placed upon their skin. She is a truly challenging foe, and one with vast resources at her disposal. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 13 June 2019. Comments are closed.
