Valyrmora Val is ultimately the protector of the Underworld.
Within the Underworld, beyond the halls of judgement and the flowing rivers, across harsh terrain unreachable by any but the most determined lies Val's realm. Those that make it there are rewarded with rolling hills, soaring mountains and the magnificent hall of Feasts
Val’s paradise exists between death and rebirth, the souls of children and the restless dead often end up in the groves and grasslands to rest and find peace before they are ready to move on to their next life. Those souls who chose not to be reborn also may find home there, it is a paradise where no soul should want for anything.
Those who die in battle and honoured heroes are brought to the halls of Feasts home of the Valkyries. Here they may spend the rest of their afterlife in a joyous retirement, feasting, drinking and sharing stories of their battles and quests. Rebirth is of course available to those who wish to accept it.
To most mortals Val is a benevolent deity, a protector of the innocent dead. Parents of deceased children may leave offerings to her.
To warriors she is what is to come, the inevitable. They would look to her to protect them in the afterlife and carry symbols and tokens into battle.
Personality: At Peace she is a flamboyant goddess, happy, raucous and generous. She likes a party and was probably the driving force behind the celebrations of The Day of the Dead.
In Battle she is also a fierce protector and will fight to uphold the honour and sanctity of the Underworld and the Pantheon. She helps lead the Valkyries into war and has a fierce battle cry that shakes the earth to its very core.
Likes:
Drink, Food, Weapons, Training and fighting, children, warriors She enjoys laughter and prefers those who do not take themselves too seriously.
Dislikes: Cowardice, a lack of respect for the dead, murderers, those who lack honour.
Nergal
Her relationship with Nergal would be like many brothers and sisters, probably love/hate. She was certainly not amused with his relationship with Kore, an Aoidei and his bestowing of the title Queen of the Underworld on her. Though she would aid him in his work an act as a secondary judge if need be.
Alva Hrith Age: 18
Clan: Only daughter of the Hrith Leader.
Description: Alva is tall and muscular with flame red hair. She is a hard young woman, brought up in a Reiver family on the northern borders of High Fell she is used to a harsh life. Food is scarce at the best of times and the weather wild. They survive by terrorising others, stealing livestock and asking for goods in return for their protection. Alva is of the Hrith Family of the borderlands. The Hriths are a well known and respected Reiver family. Raiders. They rule the Eastern coast of the border, offering protection to villages from other Reivers... for a price.
History: Used to the harsh, untamed wilds of the North they remain largely unaffected by the destruction of Gehenna. As plague ravages the villages food grows scarce but they survive, when War comes they thrive off it, relish the challenge.
In the wake of Gehenna there was little food, many of the villages gone, the people with them. There were few left among the Reivers, some sought out their rivals, looking for help and support in desperate times. Some were accepted, some killed.
The Hrith accepted those that sought them out, built their ranks up with one goal, to take the borderlands for themselves. Alva, follows her brother Bran and the sons of two other families, riding out to the west to take what is left.
