Gerrion Relactia
Mantler of Vortallax
Gerrion Relactia is considered by many to be the de facto leader of Hrim, despite her own protestations. Her leadership has led Hrim to being capable of resisting most incursions into their territory, while simultaneously continue to practice their decentralized way of life. Her people have declared her the Mantler of Vortallax, believing her to be the embodiment and conduit of Churn and Change as dictated by Vortallax, a claim which she actively refutes. Under her advisement, Relactia mobilized the local militias of every Hrim town to deploy into war with the Kingdom with the Crag as their allies. This decision has perplexed many in Hrim, and fear that a drastic change may be on the horizon for their people.
Early Life
In 8677, a small drow child named Gerrion Relactia was found wandering the wastes near Wick. She was brought into town and nursed back to health and adopted by a local couple. She did not speak for nearly three decades after her rescue, but sought to help the town however she could. In 8708, Wick was assaulted by a bandit gang assumed to be exiles from the Crag and the Final Kingdom. The young Relactia jumped into action, fighting with a ferocity which were far beyond her years or known ability. The brutality of her defense left every enemy slaughtered, but also left her right arm severely maimed, eventually necessitating an amputation. After witnessing the massacre at her hands, the people of Wick hailed her as a hero of the people. Despite her protestations, her story as the child champion and protector of Wick circulated through Hrim. After examination of the bandits which had attacked the town, it became clear that the bandits were actually agents of the Duke of Symphon sent to destabilize the region in a misguided misunderstanding of how Hrim society functioned. Angered by the unwarranted attack, Relactia became obsessed with tearing down the system which jeopardized Hrim.Unwilling Leader
Over the years, Relactia became known as a vigilante and a flame of chaos rooting out those who would intercede on the Hrim way of life. As people of Hrim would bring atrocities committed by the enemy in their lands, her obligation to protect the people led her to lead organized intervention. She would often encourage raids on Symphonian military camps as a preemptive measure to protect the people of Hrim. Her leadership and effectiveness only caused her reputation to grow in Hrim, Crag, and Kingdom society. In Hrim, she was viewed as simply the herald of the Churn of Vortallax, while the Crag and Kingdom viewed her as a worthy adversary and a borderland nuisance respectively. By the 91st century, her strong leadership and drive to protect the people led to every town in Hrim unanimously agreeing that she is the very essence of their way of life, and proclaiming her as a Mantler of Vortallax and conduit of the Churn. Her vehement disagreement with this proclamation only fueled the flames of the faithful, believing her modesty to being indicative of her divine connection. Her strength and candor also attracted those who do not revere Vortallax, praising her strong moral compass and skills as a leader. The combine pressure led Relactia to reluctantly accept the responsibility while actively pointing out that such a position is contradictory to Hrim ideals.War with the Kingdom
In 9047, Relactia surprised the people of Hrim when she invoked her status as Mantler of Vortallax and summoned the vast majority of the Local Militias and Sea Fetchers of Hrim to the southern border with the Kingdom where she announced a new allyship with the Duchy of the Crag and Reginald Pelk. She proclaimed that the Kingdom must learn a permanent lesson to prevent future incursions, and declared war on the Duchy of Portshillia. Under her authority, the militia members confusedly began their invasion, primarily under the military guidance of Crag admirals and captains. Since the start of the War, Relactia has not been seen in Hrim. Many believe she is currently stationed in Brine for strategic planning. The war has left many across Hrim confused and conflicted, seeing their way of life so drastically changed overnight. In Dying Light 9047, Reginald Pelk declared an expansion of the War and sent word across Hrim for an additional wave of recruitment to bolster the front lines. The order has been met with much resistance, despite being apparently cosigned by Relactia.
