**Alvera Runehartz** (born Sun's Dawn 16, Ninth Age 9027) is a young priestess from Olympia Heights that has dedicated her life to following Zeus. She has never met her parents, and has no siblings, but she took care of many of the children in Olympia Heights during her youth. After a long journey with the Vigilantes of New Tides, Alvera was on the planet Ka searching for the Swan Station in hope of saving the people of Omega from the Nefarious Seven.

She was able to return to the Mortal Coil, but was defeated by Anima. Fiora Tempest made her into a God after her death. Her domain is the Ethereal Plane, but Los continues to rule the Underworld. She protects the souls of the deceased and lives in peace with her friends in Saeluca.

Her father is the great Dimitri Runehartz.

*She had the Sight of Future Hope.*

## The Unforgettable Others

> Alvera was born and raised in Olympia Heights. She did not know her parents, but she grew up with many children she called her brothers and sisters. As she grew older she became a mother figure to the younger children. She trained in healing to become a high priestess but, as seen by a priest closer to her, she was destined to become a warrior. She continued training as a priestess though, until one night she followed a few children at night to the Pope's chamber and witnesssed a terrible sight. The Pope was with many battered women, including a few of the girls that Alvera grew up with. She was told the girls simply "went away." She resolves to take down this man immediately but is stopped by the guards. She is branded a heretic, but a priest close to her came to her side and pleaded to have her sentence reduced. The Pope suggested that she travel to the Grand Commencement for King Tremax instead of being executed. As she leaves the city the priest, Calvin, gave her a divination card and told her that the circumstances of her birth were much greater than she thought they were. After Vesuvius and his Disciples attacked the Arena, Alvera joined the Vigilantes of New Tides to put a stop to the evil dwelling in Omega.

Alvera set out with the Vigilantes of New Tides to fight in the 75th Grand Commencement. After an attack by the dragon Xerxes the tournament abruptly ended. At the order of the legendary Samwise Gamgee the four heroes journeyed to the Golden City just in time to see it attacked by the Drow of the Forsaken Village. After many deaths, the heroes set out to look for help in southern New Tides, only to be attacked by Romulus and Vesuvius Slade. Vesuvius killed the wife of fellow traveler Warren Ironblood and destroyed his hometown of Freedom Acres. The Vigilantes quickly made way to Olympia Heights to request help from Benedict Thalia only to find that he was in cahoots with the Disciples of Carnage. The Vigilantes were imprisoned in Fifth Ward, and had to fight their way out to escape. They met Fester during this time. Then the Vigilantes went to Mt. Moriah, and after denying advice from Vesuvius, attacked Alden Juniper and caused him to be taken by Slade.

The Vigilantes fled Praxin to seek help from the King's Army. Praxin was in shambles, and the heroes sought the advice of Maphrodite Tomě, whom told them to go into Death's Fury in order to find the answers. They went in to Death's Fury and fought Fester once more, this time killing him. They then freed the son of Warren's mentor, Yancey Swift-Winds and made way to Livlin to help the survivors of Praxin flee to The Quell. After an attack on the city by Ting & Ping and the death of Reid Lancaster all hope seemed lost. But the Vigilantes made it on board the ship and arrived in Saratoga. Now seeking the Arcane Origins to take the Magic Three's power away from Slade, the Vigilantes traveled to a small town and killed Oni, the creation of Alden Juniper.

The Vigilantes then entered the Ethereal Plane to search for the other Origins, and after bloody fights with several adversaries they retrieved all three and killed Defarios Sinistra. The Vigilantes then traveled to New Tides to help put an end to Pope Thalia, and with the help of Lydia Slattery they were able to do so. They followed him into the Etheral Plane, and after most of the group was incapacitated, Alvera was unable to kill Pope Thalia. But in an odd chain of events, the lightning bolt from the statue of Zeus fell from its hand and impaled the Pope, killing him immediately. As the room began to flood, the Vigilantes were saved by the Fools of Lyonus with only seconds to spare. They traveled with them to Praxin and Alvera witnessed the death of her closest companion, Zelda Amastacia, and only a couple days later, Warren Ironblood. Alongside the Entwined spirit of Reid Lancaster she was able to defeat Romulus. She was then touched by the hand of the mysterious Anima and given the ability to see the fate of a person just by touching them. She was originally under the impression that each person had two endings, one light and one dark, but she soon found out that everyone is entitled to both endings and that usually one came before the other. With her new ability she traveled to Death's Fury to meet the Fools and join in the fight against Animus
