Kerraii

Kerraii (Pronounced “Kerry") is a Nightblade who has turned her back on the Sect and now fights for Blackwyn in Snow’s warband. Her strap armor magically blocks blows and may only be removed by Kerraii of her own free will.

Nightblades are rarely trusted by their commanders or comrades. The few exceptions to this rule are extraordinary warriors like Kerraii, who fought hard to escape the damnation of the deathsport games and then turned her back on the Sect to seek a more honorable path. Kerraii is a member of Snow’s well­-known mercenary team, which serves the warlord Blackwyn. She has proved herself an impressive and respected warrior with a strong aversion for “anything that smells of the Sect.”

## Personality

Kerraii has a running rivalry with Byrch while also finding the latter's antics and attempts to flirt with her annoying.

## History

At Necropolis, Kerraii was trained to fight, but not quite for war - her capture by the Atlanteans taught her new lessons. Snow and Blackwyn freed her and she decided to repay them the honor by serving under the Rebel warlord, finding new friends in face of Snow and his gang.

### Rebellion

Kerraii, Snow, Rowan and Byrch were then tasked by Blackwyn to scout warlord Wither's host, first coming up against a scout squad or Orcish Slashers, Crushers and one Shaman, dispatching them all easily. The fight took place near Byrch's Victory, with a troll artillerist joining the fight against the Raiders on the side of Snow's gang. After the fight ended, Snow talked to the village elder and Turrak'din himself - the troll explained that the garrison where he previously was stationed was overrun by Wither's troop and asked to join Blackwyn's side - Snow agreed and the fuser's gang gained an additional member. They were then ambushed by a Blade Golem, powered by the Magestone that Wither's troops stole from the village, but the Golem and the accompanying Orcs were easily eliminated by the band. Kerrai and her allies then returned to Blackwyn to report that Wither's troops were here.

### Unlimited

Snow, Rowan, Kerraii, Byrch and Turrak'din then found themselves in a place ruled by Borryan, the bandit-king - after sending Byrch to scout ahead they were ambushed by a large number of Undead. They were initially overwhelmed, but a timely arrival of Aurijia and Khollis, two other warriors of Blackwyn, saved them, with Aurijia using her holy Ikona to burn the living dead in divine flames. United with even more warriors than before, Snow's gang made a camp at hills up north, where Aurijia left her horse, Noiri.

At the camp, the gang discussed matters, getting more acquianted with each other, until they were interrupted by Maren'kar, a troll wizard who somehow got past Rowan's protective wards. Maren'kar was sent by Rajidon, Blackwyn's right hand, to seek out Rowan - her healing powers were required to aid Skyros, a centaur lieutenant helping the Rebel cause who was struck by a Necromantic spear. After some discussion, Maren'kar, Kerraii Rowan teleported away to Skyros while Snow and his gang had their duties to attend to.

### Stolen Destiny

Upon arriving to the farm where Jason and Skyros were, Kerraii, Maren'kar and Rowan inquired about Skyros. Jason informed the group of the centaur's worsening condition and that they may be too late. Maren'kar then left the group to themselves, only observing, now that his role was done. While Rowan tended to Skyros, Jason was tasked to search for food, going into the nearby forest. While there, he stumbled upon a contingent of the Skeleton horde that Skyros and him fought before - the Skeletons were heading right for the farm, splitting up from all sides to surround the place. Jason tried to steathily go back to the farm and inform his allies, but stepped on a branch and alerted the living bones to his presence. Jason fought back by himself but was then joined by Kerraii, who easily dispatched the skeleton regiment without any sound or effort. Going back to the farm, Jason found Skyros already healing from his wounds but the centaur still needed time to get his strength back.

Two days later, Maren'kar teleported away with Kerraii and Rowan, leaving Jason alone with Skyros. After telling Skyros that he is a man now and wishes to journey on his own, Jason left the centaur lieutenant and spent some time pondering in the night forest when he was ambushed by an unknown attacker and knocked out before he could even have a chance to fight back.

The unknown attacker then teleported Jason away and was revealed to be Kerraii, and Jason and she fought for a bit, with the Sect Elf getting an upper hand rather quickly. She then captured Jason at knife-point and showed him the reason why she teleported him in the first place - an Atlantean Magestone strip-mine. Jason has heard of them but never seen one before. After the "introductions", Kerraii and Jason sprinted to the place where the battle between Atlanteans and the Rebels happened, but were too late - they caught a glimpse of Zenephret leaving for the Glen, a Rebel base, and wanted to follow her but were ambushed by a trio of Mage Spawn - a minotaur and two never before seen monsters.

Kerraii and Jason then battled the Mage Spawn, with the Sect Elf using her fighting savvy to pit the three remaining Spawns against each other, having the monsters kill each other in the process. After the fight, Kerraii slashed Jason's hand to give him a scar for some cryptic reason - the warrior was shocked by this but couldn't get the answer from Kerraii since Zenephret and Jarl Frostriven already arrived to the scene of the battle then, leading Jason and Kerraii back to the Glen.

Frostriven then explained the Rebels situation as of now - though they were able to keep the Geargoyle Golems under cover, an Atlantean scout spied a compliment of their forces move into the area. They had to throw everything they had at the Atlanteans just to cover themselves as they moved the Golems into hiding. Lieutenant Rajidon then arrived with the missing component for the powerful golems - their heads. Jason knew that Skyros would most surely be with Rajidon and tried to leave, but Kerraii stopped him from doing so.

It took four days to get the Geargoyles working, and so, in four days, just before the dark, Jarl Frostriven rallied the Rebel forces with a speech, saying that there was no room for mistakes in the assault they were about to partake in. Once they'll hear the allied Dwarves sound the horn, the forces will move out of the shadows and attack the Atlantean strip-mine. The rebels hoped to take the Guild forces by surprise, but Tiasma, the Oracle of Rokos allied with Atlantis leaked the information from Tinker Geely's mind that the Rebels were planning an attack, ruining their plan completely.

It was simply a massacre. As the dwarven troops - assisted by the formidable forces of Rajidon's Black Powder Rebels - initiated their raid on the Atlantean Magestone mines in an attempt to free their ensalved brethren the skies above suddenly filled with death as spears and concussive blasts of magical energies rained down on them from the newly arrived Atlantean fortresses. And although the flying forts had some blind spots, the ground troops were signaling to them, making passing unnoticed of one impossible. Rajidon ordered for all men to retreat with the battle now lost - Kerraii and others escaped back to the Glen.

All the remaining Rebel forces then gathered, downtrodden after the defeat, but Rajidon proposed a plan - the Atlanteans now thought the Rebel forces discouraged and too beaten to make another attack, but there was an upside to the failed attack - the Guild's secrets were exposed. With their flying fortresses out in the open, the Rebels now had to use stealth to overcome them - Jason then told the Galeshi that the fortresses had blind spots under them. The human warrior also told of an outpost where Utems were positioned to signal to the fortresses - if they could take out that outpost, it would make the fortresses powerless. Kerraii then proposed to lead the attack to the signaling outpost, getting Jason, Zenephret and Talver with her. By the dark, they would have to be in the outpost already.

Sunset has come quickly, and Frostriven sent his scouting party ahead. Once Kerraii and others signaled that they eliminated the ground troops, the Rebels will strike fast and hard. There was no room for error. The party then went ahead but were caught by Utems and taken as prisoners - when they were being assigned to cages, Kerraii lied about being in love with Jason and kissed him - the jailmaster then decided to separate both of them. Jason wound up in a cage with Zenephret and Kerraii in a cage with Talver. It turned out that this was Kerraii's plan - she noticed something strange about Talver which was then revealed. All this time Talver was a werebear, and being wounded, beaten and taken advantage of made him shapeshift into his true form. Talver then started thrashing the cage and tried to kill Kerraii, with Jason and Zenephret unable to do anything to stop him.

Luckily, Kerraii was able to bring Talver back to a sane state while he still remained in his werebear form - Talver then started mauling the Utem Guardsmen positioned around the cages while Kerraii rescued Jason. Fighting their way up the fortress, Jason was offended by a comment from Kerraii about his scar and told her how he acquired it during his childhood when he had to strangle a Thorn Crawler to free his mother from it's trap. Upon learning, Kerraii apologized and the four carried on, sending a signal to Frostriven, Rajidon and Fickett to start their charge for the Atlantean fortresses.

While the Rebel forces assaulted Atlanteans in full force, Jason, Kerrai, Zenephret and Talver unmanned the slave bunkers, one-by-one, and then rescued the dwarven slaves. After learning that Tinker Geely was in the keep atop the cliffs, Kerraii told Talver that he could go back to the Rebels while the rest proceeded to rescue the mind behind the Geargoyles. On their way there, they were ambushed by a Maelstrom Golem and had a tough fight, and although they won in the end, Jason's leg got stuck in one of it's now-dead claws. The warrior urged Kerraii and Zen to leave him and go forward, but even after the two did, Kerraii returned to Jason.

Remembering how Jason freed his mother's leg from the nest of a Thorn Crawler, Kerraii decided to slick Jason's leg with some blood - but instead of her own she spilled the blood of a dead Utem, freeing the warrior from the golem trap. The two then came just in time to help Zenephret fight Jadron Medaan, with Kerraii distracting him and Jason coming up behind the gloating Magus and killing him in one strike. With the leader of the Atlantean forces dead and Tinker Geely rescued, the three returned to the Rebel base.

While celebrating their victory, Jason and Skyros had a heart-to-heart talk which Jason interrupted by trying to kiss Kerraii, who nearly killed him in response, saying that he'll have to work if he wishes to get that kiss.
