Isolde Heigaari

Isolde is the late wife of Kalah and former Empress of the Orrin Empire. Her Death began the events that culminated with The Great Extinction.  

Characteristics

Physical features

Isolde was a beautiful woman with light skin and auburn hair. She would often wear the clothes of a seamstress, and while she still wore the same outfit while married to Kalah, it was made slightly more extravagant after she married Kalah.  

Mental traits

Isolde was a poor seamstress who loved everything she made. When she met Kalah shortly after he became the emperor, she fell in love and got married shortly after. They had a whirlwind romance, and Isolde very much cared for Kalah. But that was undone when her spirit was reconstructed from the Philosopher Stone, her only wish was to die, yet now her would was bound to Kalah as they became one.  

History

Early Life

Isolde was a poor seamstress born in a rural colony within the Orrin Empire. One day, the recently appointed emperor, Kalah Heigaari, fell in love at first sight, and asked for her hand in marriage. Kalah loved his new wife, so much that he refused to go anywhere without her and focused more on her than ruling his kingdom. This bred contempt from his allies, knowing that Orrin would crumble due to Kalah's neglectful rulership.   The empire's enemies took advantage of Kalah's ignorance, and sent an assassin to kill Kalah using a poisoned blade. The assassination was successfully foiled, but Isolde was accidentally grazed by the dagger and subsequently poisoned. As she slowly succumbed to the poison, Viego's sanity deteriorated as he became more desperate for a cure. Isolde died, and Viego sank all the treasure of the empire to find a way to bring his wife back to life.  

Great Extinction

Then came the day Halah learned the secret of the Philosopher's Stone and its power to break past the limit of life and death. With the wealth of a country, he employed scientists, mages, and wizards to study the creation of a Philosopher's Stone, slaughtering anyone refusing to work for him or who stood in his way until the answer was finally revealed to him. The sacrifice of his people... of the world itself would be necessary for him to attain the power he sought to revive his dead wife. She would return to him, no matter the destruction he wrought. No matter the cost.   Kalah clinged to his last hope of bringing Isolde back to life. And for just one moment, she did return. Yet the world crumbled under him—the great extinction.   Kalah and his wife, at the center of this world-ending event, watched as everything faded out of existence, the building blocks of reality itself twisted by the Magic stone.   With her soul already long gone, the Philosopher's Stone created a new one for Isolde. This unnatural creation was twisted and corrupted by the force of the cosmos, resulting in an arch Wraith. Isolde arose as a horror of rage, anger, and pain, killing her "savior" and driving the very stone he used to create her through his heart. The magic of the stone and the arch wraith clashed, and the energy erupted, tearing across Kalah's soul too.   The constructed soul of Isolde and the corrupted soul of Kalah now merged, forming something more than just the arch wraith that Isolde was raised as. They became something stronger than anything seen before.   An arch wraith normally has a domain of dread within the Shadowfell, but this entity was so powerful that it enveloped the entire Shadowfell as its domain. Kalah's twisted mind fueled the arch wraith with a dangerous obsession, a deranged love driving its every action, desire, and atrocity. A deadly black shadow poured out of the gaping hole in the arch wraith's broken heart, ripping the life from everything it touched.
