Tabletop Lore

Victoria Asquith provides the nocturnal entertainment for the crucible’s patrons, exclusively taking her battles under moon and torchlight. In truth, she is a Thrasliche vampire, sating her thirst through the consistent crucible of combat, never truly fearing that she will find her end in the arena. Whilst some in the arena are aware of her condition, it is an extremely closely guarded secret, for the adoration and gold that flows through the gates by her fans far outweighs the risk she poses.
