Ayondra

“I believe in our side and theirs, with the good and evil decided after the fact, by those who survive. Among men you seldom find the good with one standard and the shadow with another. Every ounce of my cynicism is supported by historical precedent.”
-Ayondra
== History ==
Born to a poor family in a farm nearby Baalhazor, Ayondra fled an arranged marriage and joined the mercenary company known as the Bouldercloaks. She rose through the ranks, eventually becoming the youngest General. She earned a reputation as a capable warleader and a pragmatic dealmaker who honored her word but eschewed ideology. In particular, the Bouldercloaks under Ayondra never accepted contracts to kill the monstrous Scholars. It was too much of a loss - both in terms of lives lost and due to the fact that there was no plunder to be had. 
== Personality ==
Fierce, independent, and pragmatic. General Ayondra was an excellent horseman, gifted strategist, and the sort of leader who inspired respect from her men. She never left a man behind, always paid her troops on time, and walked a fine line between stern discipline and turning a blind eye to certain offenses when necessary. 
== War of the Philosopher-Kings ==
When the arcane storm in Aglazdere was brought to a halt, explorers from the empire crossed the Desert of Tears and discovered the isolated, damned Kingdom of Amron for the first time. Aglazdere next dispatched envoys to Babel, but King Onesimos refused to meet with them. Instead, they treated with the three most powerful leaders the nation - Lord Caloc Adagani, Malias, and General Ayondra. When the War of the Philosopher-Kings broke out, Ayondra sent word to the Padishah that for a price, her Bouldercloaks would be of service. The Padishah would accept her offer, and when Aglazdere faced invasion by the horde of Godhand Arken Woemask, Grand Vizier Annakiya would personally hire the Bouldercloaks. Ayondra and her men would fight alongside the Janissaries and the Meadowguard, emerging victorious. The Bouldercloaks would remain in Aglazdere for the duration of the war. 
== After the War ==
When the Throne of Atlantis was destroyed, Ayondra and the Bouldercloaks escaped the grim fate of their countrymen by virtue of being in Aglazdere. As the empire crumbled, Padishah Finley MacClellan would try to hire them. Ayondra would refuse, correctly seeing it as a lost cause. As the Empire of Shangare gained ascendancy in the region, Ayondra would quickly ally herself with Emperor Kuldeep, in whose service she would encounter her old employer, Annakiya. 
Ayondra would go on to lead the Bouldercloaks in service to Shangare for a period of time, before retiring a passing the reigns on to a new General. She would die of old age in the city of Rasure, wealthy and comfortable after a lifetime of war.
