Aurijia

Aurijia is a High Elven Martyr in service of the Rebel warlord Blackwyn. A great fighter with a strong moral compass, her quest first took her to recover her holy Ikona and then to assists Snow, eventually joining the latter's gang.

Aurijia crafted her own Ikona, imbuing it with power in the process - while other Ikonas can heal the wounded, hers could destroy undead with blasts of holy flame.

## Personality

Aurijia is stern and full of herself, but also quite capable. She prefers to work alone, frequently brushing off her comrade Khollis who was sent to help her. Despite that, she's good at heart, grieving the death of a child that Griznik killed prior to starting her Martyr's Mission.

## History

Some time ago, Aurijia was tasked by Blackwyn to travel incognito with a caravan of pilgrims who were then ambushed by Griznik's bandits. Griznik took a young girl capture and killed her on spot, while also stealing Aurijia's Ikona and horse from her. She then went on a quest to find the Orc Slasher and retrieve her artifact.

Aurijia found Griznik in a seedy tavern, a seeming oasis in a chaotic world. After recognizing each other and engaging in a quick fight, Aurijia overpowered Griznik and interrogated him, learning that the Orc sold her Ikona to Inthatarr, who resided in Karroch. The Martyr left the Orc alive so that he would warn Inthatarr of her coming.

In the stables near the tavern, Aurijia found her horse, Noiri, which Griznik kept instead of selling. In the stables, she met up with Khollis, a dwarven scout who was sent by Blackwyn to assist Aurijia. On their way to Karroch, Aurijia and Khollis discussed the Martyr's Ikona and also why Inthatarr would want it - turns out that he wants to become a mageprince and for that he gathers Ikona. Getting close to Karroch, the two fought a regiment of Deep Spawn and Skeletons and then proceeded to Karroch.

Coming close to Inthatarr's court, Aurijia told Khollis of her history with Inthatarr and how the latter fell from grace because of his love for Delicissa, seeking the power of the Ikona to revive his now-deceased beloved, eventually becoming mad and turning from the Knights Immortal to the power of the Necropolis Sect. Aurijia and Khollis then finally found Inthatarr and engaged him and his band of Fell Reapers, Lurkers and Marsh Zombies in battle, with Inthatarr initially getting the upper hand.

Inthatarr then finally used the Ikona's power to pull Delicissa soul from her rotting carcass, returning his beloved to his since once more - his success was short-lived, however, as Aurijia then turned the power of the Ikona against Inthatarr, putting Delicissa's soul to rest. Khollis knocked out Inthatarr with his rifle's handlebar and, after Aurijia got her Ikona back, they rode to Blackwyn's host to continue their mission.

### Unlimited

Aurijia and Khollis then arrived just in time to save Snow, Byrch, Kerraii and Turrak'din from a swarm of Undead sent by Borryan, 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, with Byrch joking a few times that Snow should shoot the red-skinned troll on spot. 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 and Rowan teleported away to Skyros while Snow and his gang had their duties to attend to.

Aurijia told Snow and the rest of the gang about their next mission from Blackwyn - freeing the little town of Red Oak from Borryan's zombie bandits, but that wasn't the primary objective - a cache of Magestone was hidden somewhere in the town's temple, and the warlord wanted it. After entering the occupied town, the gang split up - Byrch and Khollis went for the zombie-occupied tavern and Snow, Turrak'din and Aurijia went for the temple, where they met Borryan himself and his "pet" - a Bone Golem. After hard fighting, Snow's gang came out on top, killing Borryan.

With their king dead, the bandits scattered. Aurijia found the promised magestone under the temple's altar and the gang then went to meet with Blackwyn's forces at Cross Creek.
