Tinia paa Wormswoe

Tinia paa Wormswoe is a famed Rydooni noble hailing from the Virtued Wormswoe family. She served as a competitor to Rover Custard Augustine during the Archon election of 134WD.

## Description

Established by Odysseus, a soldier in the Rydooni army that was involved in the Defense of Claygate in 8WD, the Wormswoe family has been a mainstay amongst the nobility of Rydoon since then. During the battle, Odysseus felled an Aberrant Leechworm marauding through the village, earning him the moniker Wormswoe, which has since come to be the name used by the Virtued Family.

Tinia has followed in the footsteps of her grandfather in more ways than one. As well as acquitting herself repeatedly in the Kroan Games, particularly that of the javelin, armoured races, and chariot and horse riding, she has climbed the ranks of the Rydooni army to that of Taxiar, and is well known and loved throughout the Hollow Concord for her conquests and victories - notable amongst them the Ogre Despot Gereagg Dustsplitter, the Bramble Root Coven, and for striking down the Green Dragon Ongrer the Pinecutter, from the hoard of which she claimed her now famous spear Hivebreaker. In addition, she has also manifested the divine blood of her grandfather, said to have been blessed by Kroai during Aita's Second Gift.

## Personality

Tinia is quick to respond to a call to action, and possesses a stubborn perseverance once having set her mind to a task, regardless of what may get in her way. She has often remarked that "her family was granted its nobility defending the interests of the Hollow Concord. With every breath I aim to elevate both further still", acknowledging that every citizen in the Hollow Concord has a part to play in its success, whether as a soldier clad in metal with spear and shield in hand, or the farmers tending the fields to feed and clothe them.

Fiercely confident, Tinia has been accused by her detractors of arrogance and domineering behaviour, whereas her devotion to the Hollow Concord has sparked tension with individuals such as Rover Custard Augustine with strong Atral affiliations.

## History

In order to bolster her popularity further in the ongoing canvassing for the role of Archon of Pylodes, she set off into the Bristlebacks with a small contingent of troops, hoping to return with the head of the remaining gnoll leaders of the Flails of Nargus. After managing to fight through the tunnels of the Glutburst Warband, slaying all manner of hybrid monstrosity birthed in the spawning pits overseen by Irbel Glutburst, she was but moments from striking down the gnoll pack lord, when she and her men were enveloped in a void of darkness filled with shrieks, gibbering and mad laughter, brought about by an incantation spoke in cackling Infernal. By the time she managed to break free, Irbel and the source of the laughter was gone, and her men slain. Burying them, she started the journey towards a former Rydooni outpost captured by gnolls.

Tinia was subsequently encountered by an adventuring party, making her entrance by slaying a hill giant that had sought to interrupt her while she took a few moments to rest in pursuit on the warbands. Quick to take command of the adventurers when they found common cause, she led them to Fort Aytysos, wherein she slew Irbel Glutburst and fought alongside the party to cleanse the former Rydooni outpost of gnolls. The campaign would greatly boost Tinia's approval rating amongst the residents of the Concord, granting her a place amongst the final four candidates set before the Archonos, Archons and Hierarch to select between, with 34% of the Honoured Caste vote and 17% of the vote overall. In a twist of fate, Tinia's father, Paros would find his strength faltering on the day of the election announcement, and so Tinia was at his side during the Attack on the Isle of Midalios, saving her from the destruction - but only adding to her grief associated with the day with the passing of her father.
