Faern Vièn

Faern Vièn de Relmont is a Lorentish noble vampire, High Priest of the Luthurn and a member of House de Relmont of Lorent.

Appearance
Faern is a skinny woman with pale skin, blood red eyes and ash brown, slightly curled hair. Another character trait of hers are the two horns growing out of her skull. A memory of the curse she used to bear.

She is often seen to either wear dark blue travelling cloths or a red elegant coat.

Personality
Faern is an overall very calm collected and polite person, never to insult anyone. Her thirst for knowledge is what drives her to venture to all kind of different nations and to learn as much as possible about other cultures and traditions.

Over time and after being surrounded by liars and backstabbers that is called diplomacy and geopolitics, she turned colder closing herself of more and more only truly opening up to her close friends and adoptive parents.

Childhood
Faerns story begins inside a nation far in the north of Rathnir, inside a large town called Frostarch. Due to her appearance her parents believed to be blessed with a Dragoonblood as their daughter, but for Faern it was more the opposite. A pact that was made decades ago by her ancestors which turned into a curse, causing her to be born with a fragile, weak body. Her parents ignored that and so she grew up learning about the religion, the rituals and the history of Draconism. But right when she turned old enough she ran away, going on journeys to see all the other cultures and cities the world had to offer.

Adulthood
She eventually found a new home in Not Venice, on the other side of Rathnir. She build a little house, but soon enough the hunger for new adventures grew again. This time she travelled to Eldham. The journey was long but after weeks of being on a ship they reached the new world. Inside a nation called Drak Yamar she came across a person called TheDeadJester, who soon became one of her close friends. The natives believed in something called Theios of the Lost Trinity, which was in a way very similar to Draconism. Fascinated Faern decided to stay to eventually find out more about it's believes and rituals. But when she stood before one of their altars she suddenly passed out. During her unconsciousness she had some kind of weird dream. She saw a burning city and dying people, the earth broke up and ravines appeared causing buildings to break and lives to end. When Faern woke up she was confused, it was different from what she believed a dragon dream would be like. On top of that she started to hear whispers just at the edge of her perception and felt something like a push into an uncertain direction. Her plans were to travel back to her family to seek help and answers for the questions she had but they got interrupted by a growing conflict which soon turned into a war, now known as the Horse War, threatening her new found friends. Ignoring the weak body Faern decided to help as good as possible during the battle. Just a few hours before the battle started the enemies started to attack the commander and her close friend TheDeadJester psychologically. Through some kind of magic they drove him insane, causing him to sacrifice himself to the dragons inside the blue fire. Although she tried to stop him she failed and had to watch her friend burning to ashes right in front of her eyes. In the end the battle was won but for her it was a lesson on how devastating and harming a fight can be.

Shocked and still in grief she travelled back to Not Venice. Just a day later after her arrival a person called Mat appeared in front of her door, excited and full of joy he told her about ruins he found not far away and about his plans to rebuild the lost city. Remembering her dream and searching for distraction she decided to investigate the ruins. It turned out to be a good decision, as the ruins were in fact the ones of the burning city in her dream. To make sure she searched to the ravines and found them. The whispers started to become louder, sometimes calling for revenge, sometimes for peace. So Mat, Karl, his wife LoveCraft and herself started to revive the forgotten place and called it Tolomar. Beside a lot of arguing between Mat and Faern everything went smoothly, until Mat decided to start a rebellion (The Red Turban) against their nation Tortuga. It failed and after some negotiations between Canadian and Faern, she became the new town major.

After becoming one of the more influential people in the Tortugan region of Soumere she got elected as a captain. After firstly completely being overwhelmed by the new responsibilities she started to grow with the tasks and reorganised and repopulated the region with help from her close friends, LoveCraft, Eeriestfall, Spice, Ulifer and Jayant who later became her husband. Together they regained some of the regions old glory.

After the pirates noticed how weak and unexperienced she was they started to train with her, showing her how she can defend even with a weak body. So the years passed and over time she also started to behave like a pirate. She learned how to lead and how to achieve her goals, getting what she wants. Starting to be annoyed by her weakness Faern joined a mercenary group in order to gain more battle experience and all the hard work slowly started to pay off.

During that time she also started to change even more, becoming more cruel and focused more on the region than on the rebuilding of Tolomar, slowly abandoning the city more and more. This caused the whispers to become angry but she mastered to ignore them. She didn't wanted to follow the path made by others anymore but follow her own. With that she also turned away from Draconism and started to research how she could break the pact that bounds her to the gods, becoming obsessed with searching for ways to become stronger, so that she could protect her friends and family. She never wanted to see another close one to die in front of her. After years has passed Canadian contacted Faern telling her that he will go on adventures again passing the nation leadership on to his daughter Sandy (who later passed it on to Ulifer) and offered her region independence. She accepted the offer and immediately merged with the neighbouring also former Tortugan region Lorent, which was lead by the vampires ColeTheKeeper and his wife Abby. This merge brought big changes for Faern. Not only did she completely cut of her bounds to her family with being adopted by ColeTheKeeper but she also completely abandoned Draconism, swearing her full loyalty to Lutherius the god of Ashes, Blood, Night and Death. Additionally Cole turned her into a vampire, making her not only part of the royal Luth family but also High Priest of the Luthurn. As a gift for her loyalty Lutherius gifted her the trait “Soul” which focuses on the inner needs and wishes of people, making it easier for her to detect lies and gain the trust by others, as well as her by Lutherius himself blessed weapon Lutherius Judgement. The weapon is able to trap souls inside after being killed by her, making it stronger with every person she executes. It is a powerful weapon and she will only use it if absolutely nessesary.
