Shreya

Chosen of Asrika, the Kalithari goddess of mercy and healing.

Shreya’s tactical mind and near-supernatural understanding of strategy were the reason the Outer Reach armada pushed forth in this latest offensive. Counted by humanity as a major defeat, it is unclear if she has even registered the cost. Her demeanor can be inscrutable and intimidating. She is said to stand guard at odd hours, staring into the darkness for unseen signs of danger—a practice simultaneously comforting and unnerving.

Select Shreya as your Chosen if you want to run a more military-focused campaign, with offensive actions and strategy featuring centrally in your story.

FAVOR

Pick one of the following: holy, mystic, mercy

MOTIVES, GOALS, AND AGENDAS

Intensely driven by Asrika’s fury over the undead breach of the mercy of death, Shreya is aggressive in her pursuit of their destruction. She is willing to sacrifice much, including those in The Legion, if the reward is great enough. Her top priority is defeating the Broken in this theater of war while staging a tactical retreat.

The Chosen that became Blighter was once a lover of Shreya’s and it seems that Shreya has a particular hatred for her. She won’t speak of it, and it’s unclear what, if any, emotions remain. She will not hesitate to join in a mission where Blighter is personally present.

Shreya is very sensitive to corruption and does not suffer the blighted to live around her. While she is merciful in her executions of those suffering from corruption, she cannot be swayed to stay her hand. As a result, if any of the Legionnaires become blighted, they must keep this corruption hidden or be killed.
