Emelyn H

Emelyn H. is the current High Priestess of Lux. She has long, blonde hair that she lets above her shoulder and turquoise eyes, and she wears a white robe with a motif of the sun and crescent moon overlapped, and a headpiece resembling that of a sun. She is often seen carrying a diary, or journal of some kind.

First Memory
She woke up one stormy day, ears ringing, vision blurry, and body thrown out of balance. Around her was the wreckage of a ship, pieces of wood extinguished by the unapologetic rain. She would have thought more about it if it wasn't for the piercing headache that killed her every train of thought.

Not wanting to catch a cold, she gathered what she could from the wreckage and sought shelter in a nearby underground lake where she would go through what she had manage to scavenge and gather her thoughts. But as she did, she realised that she couldn't remember much - or anything before the crash for that matter; who she was, where she was. She couldn't remember who her parents were or where she came from, all she had to guide her was her clothing and what she had managed to fetch before the storm began to pour over her - the heavy rain pounding against the thin earthen roof above her.

Amongst her belongings, she found a book that she hastily began to read—desperate for any sort of information to fill the vacuous void in her memory. It was a journal, a Captain's Log, but large pieces of it was seared to ashes by the fire or destroyed by the rain. The entries that were readable, however, were written in a very cute and elegant hand-style, and after some tracing with her hands she recognized it as her own! Excitedly, she rummaged through the pages to find some kind of mention of a name, and after a while she found it - the ink that read her family name smudged out by the rain.

"Captain's Log – Property of Emelyn H..."

Life in Alokhrad
Emelyn would be found aimlessly wandering the desert of Alokhrad by Yusef Razim who was surveying the land. After being discovered, she collapsed from exhaustion and was brought to the city of the South Sands, where she was given food and tools as well as a plot to rent and live.

Using her diary, she would record her daily observations and the answers the citizens gave to her questions. As there was no formal record of the history of the kingdom yet, she attracted the attention of the King Al-Surii of Alokhrad who appointed her the role as "Lore Keeper".

The Rebel Uprising
As she counted as a citizen of Alokhrad, she was permitted to and voted in the election. She had voted for Yusef and felt remorse when he claimed sovereignty. As Yusef proclaimed himself King of Alokhrad, Emelyn wanted no part in it and when the rebellion led by Yusef announced their intentions, Emelyn was quick to announce her neutrality. Since she still considered herself a foreigner, she wanted no part of the conflict. Eventually, she had to move out of the South Sands when the King of Alokhrad and the rest of the citizenry were expelled from the rebel territory and placed the first blocks of the new capital Eraqat together with King Al-Surii.

Exploration of Eldham
Emelyn was a part of the exploration squad assembled by Sel Leyla-Earcala for the purpose of exploring the newly discovered world of Eldham, which at the time was called New Rathnir. With the airship she built, she was responsible for transporting the group to the novel continent. During her expedition, she met a fellow squad member named Shah Prajuri "The Beast" Cahya, who gave her the offer to move to the capital of his nation once they would return home.

Moving to Luxios
After two more rebellions and coup attempts on the Alokhradian government, Emelyn's patience finally grew thin and she decided to take up on the offer she was given almost a month before. She decided to move to Luxios, the capital of Solisios. Before she gathered all of her equipment and materials, she had the opportunity to say goodbye to the King, Al-Surii, who was the one person that she had known for the longest. Together with him they would wander the desert of the nation and reminisce about what has been, and how much the nation had changed. Closing the little library in Eraqat, she moved north and was greeted by and given help to find a household by the Shah of Solisios, Prajuri Cahya.

Time as a scribe
Incidentally, this household was located close to the local University of Luxios where she would find herself spending most of her new time, reading everything the scholarly institution had to offer to her heart's content.

While reading and writing on her own, she realised that there were important pieces of Solisean literature that were missing from the University library—most importantly a translation of the Solisean Constitution in Common Tongue. Finding a dictionary for the Mata language, the language the constitution was initially written in, Emelyn got to work and stayed up an entire night translating the document. Once the sun rose the next morning, she had the book completed—but left it unsigned as she intended to let Sepbo Reza Lofti Fardin, the original author of the constitution, or the Shah, Prajuri Cahya, sign it.

After having slept through the entire day, she would wake up to the voices of Shah Prajuri Cahya and Head General Peter on the northern bridge. There she presented her translation of the constitution to the Shah, who complimented Emelyn on her efforts and promised to show it to Reza.

The fate encounter with Athaz the Traveler
One day she would find herself in the presence of Athaz the Traveler in his private library in Athazolant. Nervous, but eager to talk to the champion of Rathniri literature, she shared with him a copy of her first diary among other pieces of literature she happened to carry at that moment in time.

A few days later he appeared outside her home, and suggested that she should publish her work in his bookshop—a proposal she eagerly accepted. He would then teach her how the book writing business worked; where the value of books came from, how to sell them, and also how to protect her publishing rights as an author. Emelyn would be the second independent author to sell her work in the bookshop in Athazolant.

As a result of this fate encounter, Emelyn has made it a part of her routine to occasionally visit Athazolant to restock her section of the shop—thus ending up meeting Athaz every now and again.

Designation as Governor
Impressed by Emelyn's scribesmanship and hard working spirit, Shah Prajuri Cahya offered her the position as Governor of Calador; a city that—although developed—was woefully empty with citizens. It was in other words a ghost town which she was given the duty to revitalize into a sprawling city. As she accepted the offer, taking over the duties of the previous Governor, Wialend, she was given ownership of the land, and was quietly bestowed the title of 'Sepbo'.

Dissatisfied with the architectural and logistical planning at the time, she and a civilian architect named Renya razed all the buildings except one in order to rebuild the city and planned a new logistical design for the new Calador. Emelyn then assembled a team of architects to provide her with plans as she alone have rebuilt the city.

As her responsibilities grew and spread, Emelyn eventually came to house two of the seats at the Sece Pemuwe, as the newly appointed High Priestess of Lux and as the Governor of Calador. Thus, she gave the administrative responsibilities Solisios of Calador to a Solisean mystic named Neptekh.

Appointment as High Priestess of Lux
The 29th of September, she was chosen among three applicants by the sitting members of the Sece Pemuwe to be the new High Priestess of Lux.

However, not soon after, the skies turned red, and instead of water—blood began to fall. Due to interference caused by Magma who used his cursed rituals to blight the holy site of Luxantia to blight the altar with a 'mark of shame'.

Because of the unknown effects caused by this mark, the appointment required an extra month of planning, and was finally carried out the 25th of October with a procession around Solisios and a sacrifice at the peak of Luxantia. In front of fellow Luxites, she received Godess' blessing to become her representative as High Priestess of Lux.

The Rise of Skotos and the Red Sun
On the 30th of October, 2021, Skotos struck Rathnir and Eldham with his minions and assaulted many nations to spread his destruction and terror across the world. Naturally, Skotos' forces invaded Luxios where roughly a dozen Luxites had gathered to defend the religious capital. The Luxite forces managed to fight back and eventually defeat the minion, named "The Henchman", that Skotos had sent to oversee his forces. However, as the last undead soldier was turned to ash as dawn grew, Emelyn was met by a terrifying sight—even the sun had turned red.

Eventually she would be contacted by Mountainduke, a High Monk of the Cubist Clergy, who had obtained "the Heart of Lux". After a number of friendly letters, they arranged a meeting in Xaticz to send the Heart back to Lux through a sacrifice. Although the sacrifice were seemingly ineffective at first, the following day of the 13th of November, the sky was back to its beautiful blue self.
