Maranys Sylhorn

female half-elf human commander

Maranys oversees the daily operations of the Vermillion Chapel in Absalom with a literal iron fist. A strict no-nonsense attitude coupled with her prosthetic right arm has led to whispered rumors of what she witnessed in Vigil a year ago when it fell to the Whispering Tyrant or how she survived. She refuses to talk about it in any circumstances with strangers or aspirants. She has a short crop of dreadlocks and shaved sides, numerous scars on her face and neck, including a notch across one ear point, and carries a thousand-yard stare with deadly accuracy. Fervently devoted to Ragathiel.

Willing to provide sternly given advice and insight into the morality of redemption and deception, typically given only in the midst of combat training. The only thing she never does in training is strike to kill, although some of the injuries she has left her subordinates with have made them wish she would just finish the job. She insists that other champions or clerics under her do the healing for her or, preferably, that an individual heals themselves to ensure that Ragathiel still finds them worthy.

"Everything is a test. Whether you're ready or not is not the point, it's how you adapt to it. Adaptation in adversity is survival."
