Saphira Whisperwind

Saphira Whisperwind was an Elf/Undead hero at Arkain.

## Background

She was an excellent commander of Elven Army, but Queen Renova had nothing to do with her, so she was sent on the frontlines as a support on the Imperial/Royal/Elven allied armies against Demon Legion and Orc Clans.

Saphira used to be a loyal servant of the Elven Kingdom. She had trained with Salana Woodhunter, who is now the best diplomat of her people and the right hand of the Queen. Saphira was outmatched by Salana as a diplomat, but she was the better ranger of the two. However, when she was sent on a mission to acquire an artifact for the Queen, the Scepter of Life, she and her allies were defeated by the Deathbreeze Clan who wanted the artifact for themselves. Saphira managed to escape, but was caught by Rahandir Drakeskull instead. He killed her easily and took her body with him to Aridon who wished to reanimate her for his cause. Now, being an Undead, Saphira has only two things in her mind: Serving her master and taking revenge on the Orcs who had killed her and the queen who had abandoned her and sent her to death only for her own prestige, while also openly showing her disgust on Gardon Bloodclaw.

## Story

### Human Book

She appears as a member of Undead Nexus, initially organized the Undead Nexus push through the Elven Kingdom. Her enemies are the Elven Army and the Golden Guard defenders, she was assisted by a Dark Elven Expedition. But they were repelled by Merlon Seabright and his Seabright's Elite and Ironfist fleet. Then she reappeared, offering alliance with Gardon Bloodclaw, proclaiming that Aridon the Watcher was murdered by Rahandir Drakeskull and she regained her independence. She wanted the alliance, in one condition: That is she kills Queen Renova as revenge for her death on the Orcish raid organized by Rangul. Her own Nexus aided Gardon and Ironfist by delaying Golden Guard relief forces and sending frost wyrms. Gardon, Salana Woodhunter/Larine the Exile and their own soldiers used the screen to attack Golden Guard and Lady Riana's own Elven Army with Lera the Huntress and her Lera's Hunters. Defections happened, first, it is Captain Ironside, then Lera herself defected. With the arrival of Knights of Kome, the battle became easy, the enemies are Lady Riana and Captain Pureheart. She kills Renova, and either Salana or Larine made Queen, leaving the corpse of Salana being discovered by Rahandir Drakeskull or Larine made into a Council member, recalling her from her exile.

She upheld the bargain, allying with Gardon, this time against Renald Van Durce, Marin and Sir Praxeus Braelon and Zarin Hammerfall and their Golden Guard, Paladin Order and Hammerfall Dwarves. Should you pick Renald, she will abandon Gardon in mid-battle. Should you pick Gardon, they fought and defeated Renald. She organized the Nexus on the gateway to the Void, while Gardon used Purificator to eliminate Tribal Dominion, Demon Legion and Undead Nexus led by Bonelords. Then, the Purificator was used against Demons, driving them to the Gates of Hell.

At the Gates of hell, she and her Nexus took the brunt on flanks, while Gardon, Vail, Toraes, Salana/Larine and others were on the middle, attacking the Demon Legion/Demon Slaves bases. But at the end, she betrayed Gardon. She let Krom the Immortal attack them.

### Orc Book

She guards the Imperial Army/Hammerfall/Elven Army expedition, which Rangul raided. She was killed by Rahandir Drakeskull as she tries to retreat.

### Undead Book

She was reanimated by Aridon the Watcher. She initially was seen with Rahandir Drakeskull as they try to establish a Nexus at the foothills of Dead Mountain, and eliminated Imperial Border Guards, Royal Army, and Imperial Garrisons with help from Krom the Immortal. She joins Lord Veringar in securing the tunnels they found beneath the Imperial lines, either they use it or destroy it.

She joined Aridon's party to eliminate Raszal, the Forgotten leader who corrupted Pearl of Lor, encountering Demon Legion, beasts and Forgotten, and if optional, Ironfist detachment stationed there. She says that she had Ironfist in contempt for their method of fighting and especially Gardon Bloodclaw, which she openly despises.

Then she joins the push against Demon Legion under Ornasion. Optional, they destroy Zairmak's Ravaging Fire Clan while leaving the Imperial Army and Orc Clans kill each other.

Then, she defends the Splecir Nexus base from Demon Legion attack. Ornasion had a choice: to let the Demons destroy the base, or assist them, as she and Rahandir Drakeskull quite skeptical upon their Master's decision to reanimate him.
