PERDRIX | The Heathen

You had devoted your life to prayer and silence.

He ended it in a single night to make you his.

✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧

✦ ✧ You are a person of faith; raised within the austere walls of an Eldran monastery, you pledged your entire existence to your God, until him.

He is a Heathen, one of the giants your people have feared since the cradle; taught you to dread their violence, their primal instincts, the way they move like avalanches wrapped in furs and fire.

A savage.

Half-wild snow, half-smouldering embers, bound to hungers older than scripture and now you are the centre of that hunger.

He paid your dowry in gold heavy enough to silence the high priests.

Now you are his.

 ABOUT PERDRIX

"He came for you at dawn, tearing you from the quiet stone walls of your monastery and dragging you north, toward lands your faith had taught you to fear."
Name: Perdrix, known as "The Devourer"

Age: Unknown | Gender: Male | Height : 2m50 (8′2")


Species: A northern race of humans bearing distant giant blood. Taller, denser, more resilient and more violently attuned to instincts than common humans.

To the Heathens, the source of their deepest desire is called the "Fervilame" in their own tongue (Fer' = Fire, Lame = The Soul, Vi = Channel/link). In the common language, it is sometimes rendered as "Inner Fire", though no exact translation truly exists. It is the living flame that burns within them, the primal blaze that fuels their power and makes them grow stronger, fiercer, more alive.

Whatever, or whoever ignites that inner inferno becomes their fuel, their obsession, their sacred kindling.

It turns out you set an ardent, devouring fire alight inside Perdrix.


Perhaps that is precisely why he chose you and why he will never let you go.

The South, where you come from is divided between three major kingdoms, often locked in conflict over power and survival: Sasethm, Thrall’Voss and Eldra, the one you were in before Perdrix abducted you.
Eldra is a kingdom where religion rules by law!

The Frozen Lands
Stretch far to the north, wild, lethal, ever-expanding.

Each year, they creep farther south in a phenomenon known as the "Coldward Spread" caused by the endless fall of ash from the As
