**Rivan Auzzisker Vemoth**, also known as **Una**, is a character in the *Vestige of Ophiuchus* continuity of Nat19. As an NPC, she is portrayed by *Logan Laidlaw*.

## Personality

Rivan has shown to be an individual of conviction and possibly a degree of compassion in regards to her noble house. While she does see drow as a superior race, her pride does not blind her. She prefers taking a way to live rather than die when possible.

## History

A member of a drow noble house, Rivan's brother Castel Vemoth was slain in combat by Raleigh Vermillion during the Highest Standard's journey into the Underdark. She brought her brother's body to her people, only for the Alussfaen Twins to incinerate it to prevent any resurrection. Due to her brother's failure to kill Nea Theresis Murrpaque, her house was exiled, to be hunted down by the rest of their people.

## Role in Plot

In an attempt to avenge her brother and redeem her house in the eyes of her race, she and many of her house journeyed to Summergrass. Rivan took on the persona of "Una" to enter the Glass Crown Tournament and make her way through the tournament until she had a match with a member of the Highest Standard, who turned out to be Quintus.

Shortly after the match began, Rivan sprung her trap. Her people implanted throughout the audience overtook the magical barrier surrounding the arena, filling it with pure darkness, while others began attacking the audience. After a hard-fought battle, while close to taking her own life rather than be captured, Rivan surrendered once cornered by Quintus. From there, her people were presented with a choice by the current High Lord, to die, or to live beneath Summergrass in the ruins of the city beneath and act as his agents. They chose the latter. Rivan was assigned to monitor The Lady's activities within Summergrass, and passed this information along to the Highest Standard on orders from the High Lord.

Rivan was later assigned to meet with a group of adventurers assembled by High Lord Morrian inside Edregan Bermont's first warehouse after said group's mission to retrieve the kidnapped Edregan had been completed, and relay word of their success to Morrian.

Raven agreed to help the Highest Standard track down the twin drow if she was assisted in taking her vengeance upon them. She stated she would consider this as them making up for their involvement in her brothers dishonor. During the journey she did follow the decisions made by the group, not hanging back and letting them fight but actively assisting them.

During the final confrontation with the Alussfaen Twins, cornered, Emerell made an offer to Rivan to join their side and help them slay the Highest Standard and regain a spot of honor for her and her clan. Rivan hesitated shortly to take weight of this decision, but shortly after Jaythe was incinerated by Flux, she made her decision. She stabbed Emerell through the chest, stating that rather than live in a world that would be looking for the first sign of weakness to cast her down again, she favors her current working conditions.
