Alia of Ardris – Adept of Evocation

Alia of Ardris – Adept of Evocation

Female Human (Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard)

Clad in layered, cascading traveling robes, a detailed wide-brimmed witch’s hat, and gripping a gnarled wooden staff topped with raw magical crystalline clusters, this elegant human spellcaster brings an enchanting and authoritative presence to the grid. Her focused posture, side-slung book pouch, and texturized feathered mantle project a serene mastery over volatile forces. Keepers can deploy this premium Artifact to introduce a brilliant arcane fugitive, an elusive occult guide, or a versatile player character mage charting a path through hostile territory.

Tabletop Lore

A recent graduate from the University of Ardris in Belfrie, Alia immigrated to Baldur despite its unfavorable look towards magic, hoping to make a stable living as a licensed Breath User—an occupation in short supply but high demand. Instead of finding the respect and admiration of locals she had hoped for, she instead finds herself hunted by the Inquisition, scurrying around the city like a streetrat in search of shelter in a storm. She now seeks a way home, before an Inquisitor impales her with their sword.

Highlight

This Artifact distinguishes itself through the spectacular texturing of her tiered, multi-layered skirt and the highly distinct, feathered detailing of her short mantle, offering an incredible canvas for clean wash applications and fine highlighting.

Encounter Insight

Deploy Alia to anchor high-stakes urban escape encounters, serve as a vulnerable but powerful magical ally, or act as an arcane contact hiding in the city underbelly. Tactically, Keepers can position her behind defensive vanguard blocks, leveraging her tall, crystal-tipped staff to visually designate a backline spellcasting hazard that demands tactical coordination to overcome.

Features
