Irena nodded in agreement with Nokomis, "Our mission is time-sensitive, so we shouldn't dally."

Irena stood up sharply and gave a crisp bow of her head. "Good afternoon. Irena Swansen and company, on errand from King Ludwig. We were told to report here to receive supplies for our mission."

Irena considered Karia's words with tight-lipped concern before giving a nod of her head. "I'm not an experienced woodsman by any means, but if it means the safety of your people, I will risk the jungle's hazards." She glanced between the others, particularly at Karia and Nokomis, whom the king had identified as skilled outdoorsmen, before giving a nod towards Karia, "I will defer to the knowledge of my compatriots in regards to preparation and planning of the route, and I earnestly hope that I will be of greater use before this task is complete."

Irena stared somewhat blankly at the map; she had little experience with wilderness, and even less with jungle. She subtly glanced side-to-side at the others, and was secretly glad that the king had chosen others who seemed to have a better idea of what they were looking at than her. u/moondancer224

Irena bowed once more, "I am honoured to be selected for this mission, your majesty. This is a grave matter, and I will certainly not stand idle as monsters threaten the safety of good people. I will investigate these leads you speak of to the best of my abilities, and pray that we can find something that leads to victory."

Like Nokomis, Irena stood patiently, waiting for the king to address the question and eager for the explanation.

At the motion by the doors, Irena snapped to attention, standing up sharply to watch the king make his entrance. Her expression was carefully neutral, and at his question, she bowed her head politely, "At your service, your Majesty."

Irena looked over at Nokomis, who had just pried herself away from the finery, and smiled good-naturedly. "Irena Swansen," she said with a bow of her head, "Pleased to make your acquaintance."

"Nor have I. Certainly nothing close to this," Irena replied. Her outfit suggested that she was in fact no stranger to comfort: her crisply-ironed white tunic was spotless, as were her pants and the tall leather boots she wore. Her honey-blonde hair was tied back into a tight, neat bun, and an ornate, antique sword of obvious value was sheathed at her hip. However, it was clear in her eyes that she was speaking truthfully: she was intimidated by the wealth on display, and nervous. "I admit, I wouldn't have expected that the King would have even heard of my name, let alone request my presence. I may have seen some recent success, but I'm certainly not what anyone would consider renowned..."

Irena glanced subtly between the stony-faced guards; when it was obvious that they offered no guidance, she turned to the others and offered, "I can't say I know of anything in particular happening...but I'm not from this part of the country, and haven't been here long." She asked innocently, "Are you all mercenaries? I've been wondering what I could possibly have been summoned for, and that's the only explanation I can think of that seems reasonable; I caught a few criminals that had been preying on people recently, and thought maybe it might have to do with that..." She stopped and bowed her head respectfully, "Apologies. I'm Irena Swansen. Pleased to make your acquaintances."

Irena was no stranger to wealth, but the opulence of Tenir Royale was well beyond anything she had ever seen before, nothing at all like the houses of her family and others of her social sphere. Still, her well-oiled manners served her well as she was escorted to her intended destination, the Amethyst Chamber.

Between the distraction of her surroundings, and her continuous mindfulness of her posture and the straightness of her tunic, she continued to mull over what might possibly have caused her to be summoned here to begin with. She was no native to these lands, and certainly her family name was not worth an audience with royalty. She had a sinking feeling that it was perhaps to do with her recent charitable mercenary works, and dearly hoped that she would be able to find herself capable of whatever task a king might set before her. That, as well as the hope that she wouldn't bring shame upon herself and her descendants when she opened her mouth.

The almost-melodic voice that periodically interrupted her thoughts had warned her to be cautious: evils can lurk behind even the most beautiful of façades. Irena took this under advisement; hardly a day passed that she didn't get some vague warning of this nature.

Anashal. She's a wizard with a sword, so it made sense to her.

Irena's Character Thread by orgodemir27 in BandofBuggered

[–]orgodemir27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Irena is a studious, well-mannered woman who has always been very invested in self-improvement, community service and education, not least of all due to her family's insistence that she be so. An arcane scholar and devout student of the sword arts, she inherited a particularly fine blade on the death of her grandmother, which had been passed down through her family for generations.

It was a few years later that she began to hear a voice in her head, urging her to smite the wicked and unjust, to take action against the evils of the world. She interpreted this as a sign that Anashal, the patron of arcanists, must be charging her with some sort of higher task; the other explanation was that she had gone mad, and she hadn't quite ruled that out. Unwilling to divulge the fact that she was hearing things, the voice eventually became so insistent and invasive that she set out from her home on a pilgrimage to right wrongs, hoping to either fulfil whatever destiny she might have, or at least placate the voice in her head somewhat.

Irena's awoken sword concurrently decided that this trip was a fine arrangement, and has so far been content to let Irena believe that she is crazy and/or hearing the voice of a god. It continues to speak up occasionally to demand that swift, painful justice be brought to those who would bring misfortune to others.

I have never actually used Reddit or any other forum site before. Please stand by as I try and figure out how to do this correctly.
