Character Details
Embris was abandoned at birth on the steps of a monastery in a domain she can no longer name — the Mists have stolen that memory from her. The monks raised her despite her infernal appearance, teaching her that the light within matters more than the darkness without. She devoted herself to a deity of dawn and radiance, and her faith was rewarded with genuine divine power — a rarity in the Domains of Dread, where the Dark Powers twist and corrupt all things. Her ability to channel true holy light has made her both a beacon of hope for the desperate and a target for the darklords who rule these cursed lands. She knows that her fiendish heritage makes people fear her, and she has learned to let her deeds speak where words cannot.
"I light a candle in every dark room I enter. It is a small gesture, but small gestures of light are what hold back the darkness."
"Compassion. Even in a land this broken, kindness matters. Perhaps here it matters most of all."
"The monastery that raised me was consumed by the Mists. I search for any surviving monks, refusing to believe they are truly gone."
"I carry a deep shame about my fiendish blood. When people recoil from my appearance, it cuts deeper than I ever let show."

A striking tiefling with deep crimson skin and small, curved horns that rise from her temples like a crown. Her eyes glow with a warm golden light that intensifies when she channels divine magic. She wears simple white and gold vestments over practical armor, and a holy symbol on a chain around her neck pulses with faint radiance. Despite her infernal features, her expression carries a gentleness that puts even the most fearful at ease.
