Blade Of Justice - Delyna Ro Unviel

[Medium Sized Model - 25mm Base]

[Presupported with LYS files in 32mm & 75mm Scale]

An urchin of Nan Thalias’ capital whose days of dire deeds are long behind her. In the time she spent serving her punishment, Delyna found repentance through Erdrydion. Knowing what she faced was the just will of the divine, Delyna took to cloth and dagger, dedicating the rest of her mortal days to Erdrydion’s service. That has now seen her accompany the latest entourage of the Church sent into the scorching dustbowl that is Sudd Tohst, where their previous expeditions have all failed to return.

In Nan Thalian culture, many mothers who beget fatherless children simply leave their newborns to the streets and temples, rather than carry their shame. Delyna was one of many children given to the Temple of Erdrydion, where she was brought up and groomed to one day become a priestess, though like many of her peers, rebelled against the clergy. She took to the streets, among a small pack of urchins who had abandoned various temples of the Tharameni, calling themselves the God Feared. In a bid to try distance themselves from the system that raised them, the group fell from committing petty crime to acts of sacrilege and heresy, becoming attuned to the Dark Spawn of Mindoriel, essentially a cult ruled by street urchins.

It didn’t take long for the temples to uncover the evil festering under their noses, and the God Feared were soon dissolved in bloody fashion. The children did not wish to go quietly, or succumb to the realisation that they had been led astray to evil. Of those that did survive, half took their lives. Delyna was among the half that didn’t, instead chained in the depths of Erdydion’s Temple for years. There, her old mentors attempted to usher back the sheep who had strayed so far from the flock. It took a decade to weed out the evil that had festered in her heart and mind, until she finally found a path to repentance. But the scars remained: she would always have a taste for violence and bloodshed, but now with the tenets of Erdrydion as her weapon, she would be exacted as a tool by the Temple instead. Delyna thus became a Blade of Justice, a seldom-mentioned role in the Order of Erdrydion that was dedicated to enforcing its will against heretics, false prophets and those who walk the same evil path she once did.

Those with forked tongues fear Delyna and those like her, for a Blade of Justice would sooner plant a dagger in their throat than try reason or cast down a heretic through the Word instead. When Delyna is deployed on a mission, her target is marked for death: the Church knows her target is beyond repenting, and must be silenced. In the few years she has held this role forged by her turning from evil, Delyna has slain dozens more than she ever did whilst construed by the machinations of Mindoriel’s Spawn. When that thought occurs to her, she prays for it to retreat.
