The Three Reapers of Lizyra
1. Thalorin, the Veil Walker
Origin: Formerly an Elven Sage
Chosen By: The Goddess Seraphia
Description: Thalorin once walked among the highest echelons of elven scholars, a master of mystical arts and an explorer of the veiled secrets of existence. In life, his quest for knowledge knew no bounds, leading him to uncover truths that even the gods hesitated to reveal. As a Reaper, Thalorin retains his elven grace, his appearance marked by shimmering translucent robes and a staff tipped with an orb of ethereal light. His role is to guide the souls of scholars, mages, and seekers, helping them transition from the physical realms to the spiritual planes. Thalorin walks the boundaries between realms with ease, his deep understanding of the cosmos allowing him to manipulate the veils that separate different existences. His demeanor is calm and wise, providing comfort and guidance to those bewildered by their new journey through the afterlife.
2. Revis, the Shield Bearer
Origin: Formerly a Human Paladin
Chosen By: The Underlord Mortagon
Description: Revis was a paladin in life, renowned for his unyielding courage and his dedication to fighting the darkness that plagued his land. His final battle, a sacrificial act to save his people from a demonic invasion, marked him as a soul of great valor and strength. Chosen by Mortagon for his unwavering spirit, Revis serves as a Reaper with his battle-worn armor and a massive shield that glows with runes of protection. He guides the souls of warriors, protectors, and those who died in battle. Revis’s presence offers reassurance and strength to those afraid of the transition, his shield not only a weapon but a symbol of the safety he provides against the fears and uncertainties that assail the souls in their journey to the afterlife.
3. Xyrella, the Whispering Wind
Origin: Formerly a Beastman Shaman
Chosen By: Both Seraphia and Mortagon
Description: Xyrella belonged to a tribe of beastmen, revered as a powerful shaman who could communicate with the spirits of nature. Her death was marked by an extraordinary celestial event, a comet that streaked across the sky, interpreted by her people as a sign of her ascension to a higher existence. As a Reaper, Xyrella appears as a fusion of various animalistic traits, embodying the unity of all beastman races. She wears a cloak made of feathers and leaves, and her eyes glow with a primal energy. Xyrella guides the souls of all non-human races, her whispers carrying the soft sounds of the natural world. Her presence is soothing and motherly, comforting those who feel lost or outcast in their final journey. Her ability to traverse the realms is unique, often accompanied by the sounds of the forests and winds that she once called home.
These three Reapers serve as the bridge between the realms of the living and the realms of the afterlife. They operate under a mandate of neutrality, their allegiance only to the balance of the cosmos and the safe passage of souls. Each brings their unique perspective and abilities to their role, reflecting the diversity and complexity of the beings that inhabit Lizyra.
