Empire

Hailing from Sornieth, this spellblade fae roamed the battlefield for many years before arriving at the Bay, accompanying Faded as both friend and guard. Empire has become part of the pseudo-crew Admiral Redheart picked up during the campaign against Seraphim.

Biography
Born within the Lightweaver's territories, Empire studied sorcery and swordsmanship from a young age, determined to become strong enough to fight for whatever she believed in and whoever she wanted to defend. When Empire briefly visited the Starfall Isles to advance her knowledge of sorcery even further, she met Faded and the two became quick friends. While they were apart, Empire becoming a travelling mercenary and Faded apprenticing under a member of the Ghost Moon Alliance, they frequently exchanged letters. Almost 40 years later, Empire returned to the Starfall Isles an accomplished warrior and officially joined the Ghost Moon Alliance, within which Faded still resided. The two departed for Scryia only a few months after, chasing after a rumor Empire had heard about on Sornieth's endless battlefields.

Personality
Though she has the skill to warrant it, Empire's reckless and brash personality has gotten her into trouble many times before. Testing her limits in battle is one of her favorite hobbies, and Empire will often extend an invitation to duel to any new dragon or being she comes across. Despite that, she has a way with words, and is occasionally diplomatic. Any attempt to harm Faded will be met with swift and merciless retribution from this fae.

Swordsmanship
Empire takes much pride in her ability with a blade, having learned a mix of styles from various teachers and peers both formally and on the battlefield.

Sorcery
Specializing in offensive Light and Lightning-aligned sorcery, Empire uses this to enhance her blade on the battlefield. Her favorite tactic is simply to smite her opponents down with concentrated bursts of electricity. As a fae, relying on her sword alone would get her nowhere, so it was with a bit of reluctance that Empire learned sorcery as well. As such, her knowledge on sorcery isn't quite as indepth as a scholar of the Sunbeam Ruins should be, but her experience in using sorcery in battle would find little contest.

Empire has also taught herself a form of teleportation by leaving trails of mana wherever she goes. Through this, she's able to pull her physical body along the trail to places she's already been. In time, it has also become a part of her battle tactics, confusing her opponents by making small jumps through space rapidly.

Trivia

 * Although she can be more expressive than most fae, Empire doesn't choose to put in the effort to do so very often. She's also, contrarily, not very emotional at all.
 * Her favorite sword was called Entry Number Seventeen, gifted to her in the will of a friend who she met during one of her many battles on Sornieth. It was lost during the battle against Jax, falling into the currents of the Otherworld when it was knocked out of her claws. Since then, Empire has been using a sword named The Slayer, a sword personally forged and enchanted for her by the residents and ruler of Reivurn Kingdom.
 * Empire has a pouch on their belt that always contains a pocket knife, an enchanted flask of lava, a compass, a small notebook and a pencil. Though she doesn't keep a journal, Empire does jot down quick notes and events from every day in case she forgets.
