## Biography:

### Early life:

Valarma was among the merfolk who awakened at the Seahearth at the end of the Fey Age of Keyvaile. At the hour of her awakening, she wandered dazed and confused until she met Kean Tefreos who became like a brother to her. The two wandered the seas for some time, hunting and gathering food and supplies.

### Forming the Triumvirate:

After a long time of traveling, they met with the spirit Anatapers who offered them great power in exchange for protecting and leading the merfolk. They agreed and along with the siren Ariel Serana they were given powers such as immortality, powerful magic and a commanding aura.

Together they united and uplifted the merfolk and split them between themselves. Valarma's people became known as the Varamae and built cities such as Varamas and Nort-Volis and under Valarma, they thrived.

### Fall of the Triumvirate:

After years of peace, the Triumvirate began to fracture as the personalities of Valarma and Ariel clashed over the smallest of things and their followers gathered arms and readied for war, despite Kean's attempts to calm them down.

It’s unknown who struck the first blow but soon the Seranae city of Vercef was taken by Bradus Avrii, Valarma's second-in-command. This began the Merfolk war of Unification between the forces of Valarma and Ariel.

Ariel destroyed her capital of Nort-Volis and Valarma reduced one of Ariel's cities to a ruinous waste and many other dark deeds were done.

Eventually, Kean was convinced to turn against his sister which lead to her downfall at the Battle of Terfin where her army was destroyed and she was imprisoned in the soul shell of Nirm. Soon after, Bradus Avrii and the last of Valarma's loyalists were killed when Ariel unleashed the Whirlpool of Torment upon her last city of Varamas, scattering her people across the seas.

### Legacy:

Her people eventually returned and would remain as part of the Merfolk Empire for millennia till the realm of Seranae fell to the Fomorians.

When an alchemical substance was created that caused fire that couldn’t be extinguished by water, it was named Valarma's flame after her.

## Personality:

She had a fiery temperament and cared little for the structured order of her fellow Trivars, but she cared deeply for her people, leading them to follow her loyally even after her imprisonment.

**Master Level Sorceress:** She was a powerful mage
