Character Information
Backstory/Plothooks
Rejected by her birth parents as many Kathar children are, she spent much of her formative years in a Future House, where she quickly learnt her means of survival. She learnt to charm her way into the good graces of her caretakers and peers. While many others embraced combat or planned to climb the political ladder, Valthara found her calling in deception.
As a teen, she was adopted by a kind older woman named Naerisse Vaeliirn, who taught her the subleties of Mesmer Cult philosophy. Under Naerisse's mentorship, Valthara perfected the art of manipulation, honing her talent for reading people and learning their deepest desires. She began her incursion into fortune telling as a game, weaving convincing prophecies out of half truths, keen observations, and the occasional staged "vision."
Her performances became more elaborate as she grew older, bolstered by minor Void Magic tricks. In her home town, she gained a modest reputation as a clairvoyant for hire, catering to the wealthy Kathar with grand predictions of success or scandal. However, her sudden rise came to a swift half when a client uncovered her deceit. Forced to flee the city in where she grew up to avoid becoming the victim of her own schemes, Valthara journeyed to Regalia, where her talents were less likely to be recognized and more easily exploited.
Now in Regalia, Valthara has established herself as a wandering mystic, preying on the curious and the desperate. To her, the city is a playground of new opportunities, filled with gullible people eager to believe in destiny or divine intervention.
