Filianor Tor

Filianor Tor is a Living Virtue who is the leading matriarch of the royal Kepian family of Tor and a war hero of Kepia. She is currently the longest serving veteran of the Kepian Navy, giving her significant weight in the Kepian military as a whole.

She is part of a small minority of the old Kepian Navy who did not respond to Hawking Vander's call to arms during the Kepia-Fikiri war, choosing instead to stay loyal to the Kepian government. Her leadership was essential in rebuilding the Kepian navy back to a somewhat stable state.

Since Vander's desertion, she has fought a number of sea battles against the North Sea Raiders, typically to a stalemate. Her largest victory against them was at the Battle of Hakobyan's Gulf, where she decisively defeated the full might of Vander's fleet with one half its size.

Filianor's standard theme is the white lute version of dread design, her battle theme is glorious tradition, both from Pyre.

## History

Having shown her talents in tactics and magic at a young age, Filianor was decreed to be a prodigy of the Tor Family ever since she was a child.

Given everything she would need to succeed, Filianor quickly became somewhat of a rising star in the Kepian navy. Having created her first legendary totem by the age of 22 (and as a result receiving the title of Living Virtue) and obtaining the rank of admiral two years later, she lived a relatively isolated life as one of Kepia's lofty elites.

Her high status often made it intimidating for others to approach her, and early on Filianor spent most of her free time alone experimenting in magic and studying military tactics. Upon meeting Hawking Vander, a fellow admiral who obtained the rank about 10 years after she did, the two struck up a very close friendship. Both considered geniuses in their trade, their combined efforts made Kepia the uncontested leading naval world power.

Upon being informed of the existence of the class 3 catalog after the leaking of passion in Fikiri, the two had a major falling out, with Fillianor siding with the Kepian government and Hawking against. Although saddened by her friend's desertion, Filianor nonetheless remains a stalwart icon of the Kepian military.

## Personality

### Visionary

Filianor is a highly competent administrator who is able to see the faults of a system and provide insight on how to improve it. Hawking's desertion saw more than three quarters of the Kepian Navy join him, with the remaining quarter eventually being placed in the hands of Filianor.

Despite being at a fraction of its original power, Filianor's logistical and strategical genius was enough to take her tattered fleet and use it and continue to secure victories against Fikiri while at the same time making itself be seen as a threat by opportunistic generals from Leandoros. As the Kepian navy recovered more manpower and liquid capital over time, her leadership only made it that much more intimidating. Kepia's status as an ocean power likely only remains unchanged today due to Filianor's work.

### Commanding

As the current fleet admiral of the Kepian Navy, Filianor is a highly competent tactician and commander. Her very presence is able to inspire her troops, and she is able to create strategies and change up battle formations on a whim.

### Fatalistic

Having been considered a genius and leader all her life, Filianor has been somewhat spoiled by her own abilities. She often finds it very simple to accomplish things that others would consider difficult, and as a result often sees little reason to put her entire heart into an activity. Since the bare minimum amount of effort is often more than enough for her to solve most problems, the bare minimum is typically exactly what she will do. Once she has decided on an approach, she typically will not change it even if said method is found to be obviously flawed, believing instead that everything will sort itself out.

### Curious

Although somewhat detached and uninterested in everyday goings due to her competence, if Filianor ever finds herself to be completely and absolutely outmatched in a given subject, she will show extreme interest in that subject. She finds mental stimulation from things that she isn't immediately good at, and will often spend lots of her free time on a newly discovered subject or activity. Notably, she has been highly interested in cooking for most of her life, but is extremely bad at it, to the point that visiting her during mealtimes is sometimes considered an occupational hazard.

Filianor's apparently "toxic" cooking is not due to a lack of skill, but rather a curiosity in why the art differs so much from alchemy, which she has considerable experience in. She will often attempt to infuse magic into what she makes, which often makes her dishes have unpredictable results.

## Living Virtue

Filianor's status as a Living Virtue was granted to her because of her unparalleled ability to create legendary totems. Of all the current legendary totems possessed by Kepia, almost every single one was created by her, with known exceptions including Tir Na Nog
