Current Character Description - Strega

The scholars will tell you 'Stregheria' is an old-world word for 'witchcraft.'  Not wishing her name to be known, the outsider uses Strega as it appears harmless enough.  As does she.  Appearing to be yet another religious sorceress draped in long black robes, she is often seen sitting quietly, watching.  Always watching while being  watched by none.

She's not unfriendly, she engages in small talk with those she encounters but she keeps a feeling of distance between herself and others as if she must always have her shields up.  She is a skilled witch with only one thing that truly matters to her, her Liege.  He whose name she whispers away from the non believers.

Her face is often hidden behind her black cloak and if one were to look carefully and at the right moment, one might see numbers or symbols seemingly burned into her right hand, no explanation has ever been offered. She is fairly easy to pass over as her simple dress and quiet manner seem to offer no threat or wealth or particular worth.

This is how she wants it, this is how it is to be.  For now.  For Him.

Nerlith's Open Application (Part 1)

Dawn is imminent. As birds begin their daily routine with their serenade to the rising sun, the first rays of sunlight slowly progress west and illuminate Market Square in Westbridge, reflecting and scattering in drops of morning dew. The entire square blinks brightly in this early light, except for a large object sitting in the middle of the large fountain, leaning against it's sculptures.

Upon second glance, the object seems to be a tablet made of black granite, the front side polished, bearing an inscription across its entire length. The entire text seems to be written in an ancient language known to few.

Hail, Followers of Sephiroth.

I am Nerlith Perditio.  Former Stormlord of Talos, Bringer of the Rok. You have proven yourselves to be hard to reach, however I am sure this will bring me to your attention.

For years I have been trapped on another plane. As lord Talos betrayed and abandoned those faithful to him and the Jihad faction shattered, I spent my days in the void as  I felt the world as I once knew it being taken over by the Black Church. It felt as if I was there the day that Strega infiltrated  the Illuminati  and changed the balance of the old clans forever.

It was through her eyes that Sephiroth made me see the truth.  While I thought that I had been serving Lord Talos  and saught for Destruction by the bringing of  the Rok in the Jihad faction,  it turned out I had always served Sephiroth instead.
