Zora

Chosen of the Dravican Living God.

The Living God of Dravica created nine Chosen long ago, and unlike the Chosen of other gods they’ve never burnt out or faded. Instead, they persist until after completing their task, though they can be killed. Zora has defied even this expectation. She broke the Reach of Dar long ago, and ended the Godswar using terrifying magic to strike the god within a Chosen before walking off the battlefield and into rumor and legend. As The Legion was about to be shattered in this latest offensive, Zora reappeared to save them.

Select Zora as your Chosen if you want to run a campaign focused on mighty battles and clashing directly with terrifying powers.

MOTIVES, GOALS, AND AGENDAS

Zora is a challenging Chosen for the rank and file; on one hand, she’s by far the most personable of the Chosen, seeming to genuinely like engaging with people. On the other hand, she is constantly testing those around her in little ways, honing them into a fine blade. There are stories of Legionnaires waking up in a tree in the woods, a single knife strapped to their chest and miles of territory to cross back to camp. Or warriors that wake to a battle cry as she strikes a blow to start morning training. She drinks with victors and shows sad disappointment to those that retreat from battle.

Zora has said it is her appointed task to kill the Cinder King, which is odd since she’s claimed other tasks previously. Vlaisim—now called Render—also claimed this task before he was Broken. In battle, she bears a fiery circlet above her head, and holds an empty hilt that generates a blade of solid flame. The troops have taken to calling her the Fire, though none would risk such casualness with her directly.
