Aesira the Allegiant

Aesira Tatius, more widely known as Aesira the Allegiant, was a heroic adventurer originally from the desolate wastes of Obietnica. Earning fame and fortune for coming to the aid of the people, she is most remembered for sacrificing her life to save the people of Conamar from an emerging threat.

## History

Aesira Tatius was born to lowly hunters who resided in the outskirts of the city of Podróbka. Having never been well-off to start with, both her family and community suffered greatly under the famine of 1463 and so, as a young girl, she took to helping the town in return for money or even just that night's meal. This made her well-known amongst the townsfolk, and soon the time came for her to prove herself.

On a dark night, the moon of Aesentia shining brightly, guttural howls could be heard - uncomfortably close to the city. Aesira left immediately, running into the town and hearing panicked cries of a yeti attack. Though not uncommon for this time in the year, they were usually solitary. Rumours spoke of a troop of at least ten. Unwilling to let her family and the townsfolk that had come into debt form her exploits perish, Aesira took to the town-square and called its people to arms. And surprisingly, it worked. Her words inspired even some of the lower nobility, and the town of Podróbka rallied under her leadership. The battle was long and hard. Though there were less yetis than originally thought, their leader was something from the realm of nightmares. Whilst no descriptive accounts have survived, it is said to have driven the weak-minded to insanity after only looking at it. Yet the story goes that Aesira drove it off almost single handedly.

Aesira was commended for her bravery and efforts and was summoned to Obientica’s capital of Vitryme. Within the great crystal palace halls she received a military commemoration straight from the ruler at the time - Grand Duchess Daniela - and with it the Tatius family entered the lower echelons of Obietnica’s nobility. From there Aesira began to work closely with Obietnica’s military, entering as a State Magician but quickly assuming the rank of Major General within three years.

The call to help seemed too powerful, however. After some years, Aesira left the military. Now with more experience under her belt, she had become a formidable but kindly force. She instead began working as a hired hand across the continent, once again taking on the huge jobs nobody else wanted to take on. This is where her reputation spread and earned her the name ‘Aesira the Allegiant, Fighter of the People’, winning battle after battle and… Well we all know how the tale goes of course.

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. In the year 1489 Aesira was contacted by the Alenlun Scholars with a particularly difficult job: a group of Vitrumon had discovered a hidden vault underneath Venerage filled with vast amounts of wealth. They intended to hoard this to themselves rather than sharing with the people of Conamar and so Aesira was sent into the old capital to put a stop to them. It is during this event she bravely gave her life in order to defeat the threat after the task turned deadly. In legend this is her most selfless act and what has immortalised her name for centuries - giving up her life for the people of Conamar and the continent.

### Nursery Rhyme

Aesira the Allegiant, Aesira the Fighter,

Her battles made our burdens lighter.

A peasant girl from Snowfield waste,

She helped her people with incredible haste.

Aesira the Allegiant, Aesira the Brave,

Gave her life so she could save.

Wielded her trusty golden blade,

Brandished high for Conamar’s aid.
