Namariel is a Namarti dancer of Briomdar who sought to be a queen. [1]
Appearance
As a néthic dancer her body was painted in purple with gold runes of the old gods Erek, Néthu and Thial and streamers of black algal hair. [1a] Her skin is supple, cool and smooth. [1b] When travelling she favoured a long seaweed kirtle, ribbed with fishbone, a shagreen bodice criss-crossed with pouches and tight straps and a cloak. [1c]
History
As one of the Néthir she was trained by Isharann chorralus to bear the souls of the dead into the chorrileum and to the embrace of the gods. [1b] She would talk to the dead within the chorrileum, gaining knowledge from those she said ...speak most freely of all. They have nothing nothing else to do. [1c]
She was a dancer at the Assembral where Prince Lurien Soultaker hoped to become ruler of the enclave of Briomdar, but was instead overthrown and imprisoned . [1a]
Namerial visted the young prince in his confinement and offered to free him if he would take her as his queen which he promised, but she bound him with a blood oath to the old gods - Aesha, Athaerti, Drakira, Ladriella, and Mathlann. [1b]
Skills
As well as a highly accomplished dancer she is also a talented actress, able to slip in and out of roles with ease. Such roles include a lady's maid, agent of an Embailor or the harressed thrall of a ishratisar perfumer, assuming and discarding personalities at will. [1c]
Weapons and Equipment
She carried a ivory coloured Whisperwood Bow. [1c]
Quotes
| The darkness has been good to you, my prince. It is as my isharann master would always preach as he reminded me how fortunate I was to have been born without eyes. I do not care the least who sits on the Jade Throne. Less even than I care whether it is the Everqueen or the Grandfather or Sigmar God-King who rules over the Realm of Life. I am interested in she who will stand beside it
~ Nameriel to Lurien.[1b] |
