Evelyn, Alyssa et Bartuc
Un collab avec LadyRunic et Zelosse

Evelyn s'installa près d'Alysse, prenant une tasse à la main, elle tourna le vin dans sa tasse avant de prendre une petite gorgée. "Une fois, j'ai eu beaucoup de titres, un peu comme ce goblin et sa garde. Maintenant, je n'en ai qu'un et je doute que tu veuilles m'appeler par là. Je suis Evelyn, mon ami moins bavard ici est Bartuc, le seul homme en qui j'ai confiance dans ce pays étranger", prenant une autre gorgée des yeux d'Evelyn a rapidement fouillé la pièce de sous le voile. En même temps, une voix familière chuchotait à l'intérieur de sa tête, une voix qui aurait l'air troublante et hostile à n'importe qui d'autre s'ils pouvaient l'entendre.
"Ce ne sont pas vos alliés... de futures menaces contre votre règne..."
Ces mots faibles ont été accueillis avec un sourire chaleureux avant de dire sa réponse dans son esprit, "Je suis conscient, je n'agis pas simplement par tentative d'amitié"
Bartuc s'est contenté de dire son nom. Comme toujours, partout où Evelyn allait, il se trouvait derrière elle comme un chien loyal. S'il se sentait menacé par tous les pouvoirs étranges variés réunis dans cette pièce, il ne l'a pas montré. Pour l'instant, son attention se concentrait uniquement sur celui qui conversait poliment avec le maître.
Quand le maître entendit ses paroles, il n'y avait aucun moyen de savoir, pas pour un étranger, mais le grand homme pouvait ressentir le changement subtil de son comportement. Elle avait la bénédiction des Obscures, si une telle créature existait, et le bras fort de son soldat.
Ils ne trouveraient pas d'ennuis ici.
"Vous aurez vos titres, mon Prophète." Il a oublié la partie où cela signifiait tuer le voleur hérétique du trône et reconquérir Dustorne comme son propre. Ils le savaient tous les deux.
Alyssa n'a pas siroté le vin, elle s'est contentée de le tourner et de l'écouter. J'ai regardé et souri. Il y avait un meilleur verre dans la gorge des hommes, mais ce vin était plus souvent le choix des vampires et autres. Sa sœur et elle ont cependant participé de temps en temps. "Un plaisir, car je suis Alyssa Blackwater." Elle leva un léger sourcil avait des roses alors qu'elle écoutait la femme voilée. " Ah, les titres. Et l'un est prophète, l'autre vient de Tyrvald. Maintenant, vous les avez perdus." Alyssa a posé le gobelet de vin, pliant ses mains sur ses genoux. "Et par hasard, je connais quelqu'un de bon pour trouver des choses que d'autres ont perdues?" Elle s'est amusée. C'était une femme intéressante, et un homme.
Evelyn s'est détournée vers Bartuc, depuis sous le voile une lueur faible pouvait être vu comme elle a transféré ses pensées à son protecteur. « Notre Seigneur fournit le chemin », murmura-t-elle dans son esprit avant de retourner son attention à Alyssa. "Je serais dans votre dette, qui sera payée en totalité une fois que j'ai retrouvé ce qui a été perdu", Evelyn a donné un sourire doux, mais dans l'intimité de son esprit les plans a commencé à se manifester. Il était devenu clair que de tout le monde ici, au moins deux seraient une menace pour son trône une fois son travail avec Lancelot terminée. Tyrvald avait beaucoup de guerriers habiles, mais ce ne serait pas suffisant. Cette alliance sous Lancelot ne durera pas et elle avait besoin d'avoir les chances en sa faveur.

Job

Personality
Evelyn does not see the atrocities she's committed as entertaining, it is merely a task to complete. Death, war, torture, ritual sacrifice, it is not enjoyable nor is it detestable but rather a duty she must perform for The Obscure One and Lancelot. With her face almost always hidden, either in a helmet or under a veil, it can be difficult to gauge her mood as she tends to speak rather calmly when not in battle. One should not take her stoic tone for amicability as her opinion of you changes with the will of The Obscure One. Should her dark lord consider you a potential or immediate threat you will be met with hostility if not direct attack. That being said, she is not unapproachable, she is more than welcoming to anyone who wishes to speak with her or keep her company. As for her day to day routine, Evelyn can often be found studying a magic tome or performing some form of ritual. In the realm of more physical activities she prefers to practice her weapon arts at night and with her lord, however to an onlooker it appears as though she is combating the air.
Biography
Across the sea lies the archipelago of Tyrvald. A land of temperate forests and fierce wildlife, the inhabitants are divided into numerous city states. Among the most powerful is the city of Dustorne, a proud and noble people with ambitions to unite the islands under one banner to conquer new lands beyond their shores. Evelyn was the daughter of King Greagor and the heir to the throne of Dustorne. From birth she was raised to take the throne; studying battle strategy, training in multiple weapon arts, experience in political intrigue, and an understanding of her people. At the age of eighteen she left the islands to scout new lands her people could plunder in the future. For four years she wandered the lands of Camelot before returning home, only to find her throne had been stolen from her by her father's advisor and her family slaughtered. Chased out of Dustorne she fled to the neighboring city of Strosheim hoping to find aid as they had been a close ally of her family for years. Instead she was met with drawn blades and iron manacles where she was kept as a slave.
Forced to pleasure the lord's son, Evelyn's spirit would be broken until one day a familiar voice called to her. As a child she would often speak with a voice only she could hear. Her parents assumed it to be the imagination of a child but in truth it was far more than that. The Obscure One had been watching over her since her birth and had for reasons unknown only now showed himself again to her. With his help the deposed queen fled into the wilds of Tyrvald where she spent five years strengthening her bond with The Obscure One, all the while forging a cult which worshipped her as the bride to their hidden god. With the force of a small army behind her, Evelyn marched on Dustorne to take back her throne. Unfortunately her notoriety betrayed her as her enemies knew of her impending attack and bolstered their numbers. A confrontation could not be avoided and so The Cult of The Obscure One clashed swords with the defenders of Dustorne. It was a battle that could not be won but Evelyn commanded her forces with skill and held the line until a path of retreat was made. With what forces remained she retreated to her ships and fled to the outlands where she would bend the knee to Lancelot in the hopes he would conquer Tyrvald, allowing her to rule the islands as a reward.


 When not clad in her armor, Evelyn is clothed in the ceremonial robes of her cult. As The Veiled Mother, she is to be hidden at all times and so her veil is enchanted to cast shadows over most of her face. 


Traits and Equipment

The Obscure One is not death but his realm of influence stems from it. As a result, Evelyn can see the aura of those who have died recently anywhere she goes. What's more, should she come into contact with an item or be in a location of strong importance to the deceased individual, she receives visions of that person's live from their point of view.



 Shadow Step
Becoming darkness itself, Evelyn is able to quickly traverse surfaces as a shadow. In this form she cannot be harmed, but she can be detected as her movement appears as a formless shadow moving across surfaces thus requiring some caution when infiltrating enemy facilities.
 Corporeal Decoy
This spell can be performed in two ways, ritual sacrifice or illusion. Ritual sacrifice requires a living body to be given up to The Obscure One who then bestows telepathic control of the sacrifice to Evelyn. From that point on the individual will look, sound, and act like Evelyn until it is killed. The illusion method requires less preparation as it simply creates empty copies of Evelyn that can interact with the world independently until death where they dissipate much like the settling of fog. This method is commonly used in battle as it can be performed in mere seconds.
 Blinding Night
Manipulating shadows to remain on the eyes of her target, Evelyn rids them of light thus making them blind till the spell dissipates. A side effect of this spell is that the victim's eyes quickly become hyper sensitive to light. When the spell dissipates, a bright beam of light into the eyes can run the risk of permanently blinding them.
 Hidden Messages
Evelyn is capable of telepathically speaking to her allies and anyone whose mind is not strong enough to resist. In order to use this spell for implanting thoughts the victim must be near death, as well as being both mortal and having a soul. The spell will temporarily 'restore' them. They will lose all recent memories and are given a specific task of her choosing. The spell ends once the task is completed or after 24 hours have passed, in which case the victim immediately dies. The spell is removed at any time if they are the target of a revive spell or a healing spell that can cure fatal injuries or whatever else was the cause of death. This saves the victim from extermination and will regain all memories. She can only use this spell on up to two people at a time.




Tyrvaldi Weapon Arts
Raised from birth to be a warrior queen, Evelyn is a master of Tyrvaldi weapon arts. This means she is highly skilled in one handed, two handed sword combat as well as spear and shield wielding on stable ground as well as on a dynamic battlefield such as a ship deck. Losing her footing is almost impossible for her and her ability to maneuver herself on the battlefield is impeccable, meaning she is more than capable of holding her own in a heavily outnumbered fight.




Her Past
It is very hard to get under Evelyn's skin but her past remains the one insult she will not tolerate. Specifically her period of servitude to the lord of Strosheim. Even so, very few outside of Tyrvald know of her past that well.




His Ward
A suit of armor which was to be worn by the Queen of Dustorne, Evelyn's armor is enchanted to partially redirect the kinetic energy in a hit back to the attacker.
His Will

This Tyrvaldi forged bastard sword was enchanted by The Obscure One himself to aid Evelyn. The soul of whoever dies by this blade is used as a sacrifice to The Obscure One and thus partially replenishes Evelyn's mana reserves and slowly heals her of whatever injury she sustains during battle.
The Cult of The Obscure One
With only five hundred cultists surviving the battle at Dustorne, Evelyn's cult is near extinction but their zealotry is stronger than ever. These common looking cultists will kill, plunder, and downright destroy anyone their Veiled Mother deems an enemy. They excel at infiltrating enemy encampments and cities, they also function as a lightly armored and fast moving army. The cultists come from all backgrounds which makes them useful for carrying out non combat roles such as scouting, farming, archiving, etc. Their only weaknesses are their small numbers, use of light armor or robes, and limited weapon skill.



Ring of Shrouded Union

This ring symbolizes the bond between Evelyn and The Obscure One as well as holds a portion of her life essence within the gem. Should Evelyn be killed in any manner whatsoever, the first person to wear this ring will die and Evelyn's soul will possess the body. What's more, If Evelyn is alive and anyone else wears this ring, they shall be able to hear and see The Obscure One.
