Passive
|| PROVIDENCE ||

|| SPIRITUAL WEAPON || - Casted upon the Artifact Nameless. Allows weapon to attack intangible foes.
|| MARTYR ||
|| INSPIRATION || -
Soul 5. Allies within 5 blocks may substitute the blessed’s Soul score for their own on checks to resist effects or conditions.
|| ANATHEMA || - Once targeted, unnatural beings begin to feel a cold enclosing grasp of suffocation, as if their body is freezing up under a mount of ice. Causes 2-hits per turn . This affects extraplanar creatures such as figments and fiends, supernatural creatures such as ghosts, and magical or otherwise unnatural constructs such as undead, elementals, and summoned creatures.

Aesthetic
+The eyes take on a ring of color about the pupil thematic to their Divine, intensifying in spellcasting or heightened emotional states.
+The edges of held items can take on an outline of a glowing purple hue, wisps of it flickering around it. This can be on weaponry or mundane items, activated at will or spurred by an emotional response. It does not tamper with the items themselves.
+Divine markings thematic to their divine form (in color as well as design) upon the body. This can be as simple as bands around the wrists, or an entire intricate design across the back, left up to the player.
+Frost appears upon their person in subtle ways, and their breath appears as a cold mist.

Quirk
+They are untouched by the cold and suffer no ill effects from it regardless of intensity; Chills are of no concern, frost is a pleasant day, and even wandering the tundra they can manage in a shirt. This applies to natural cold, as well as arcane and divine spells that cause it.
+They are able to cool or freeze small quantities of water by a brief touch, such as a tankard full. Their hands can be cold to the touch upon another but it will not freeze or harm them.
+A glance over a grave or tomb will provide them with a sense of if the remains are still within or not, at a range of six feet.

+They summon up a purple orb of light, able to follow them around passively with the strength of a candle. It is also able to light extinguished sources of fire, and upon doing so, makes the flames a purple-blue hue. This companion cannot be used in combat, but can be used in a flavorful manner in mundane tasks (turning pages, ringing bells, so on).


Exalted Perks:
{Misty Cloak}
A misty veiled mantle appears on the shoulders of the Exalted when wearing clothes. It can appear a layer above any physical cape, and doesn't look to be solid. The misty veil flows and drapes down to the floor, moving along with its wearer, its ends seeming to smoke and fade out. It shimmers of gradiant obsidian, grey mists and pearl-colored dots, reflecting the skies in the Grey Lady's final realm. Sometimes the colors shift if one stares too long, lost in its strange patterns. Any meaning to touch it can disrupt the appearance of the mist, before it rights itself.

{Divine Crown}
A faint band of small circular beads run across the forehead, three on each side- colored an ethereal white. The center most is a little larger and shaped like a diamond.

Artifact

NAME: Nameless - Death's Staff
DESCRIPTION: A gnarled staff the color of old bones. A single skeletal hand curls around a human skull upon the top. Two Mok'yra runes are etched against the staff's center; "Muk" and "Embrak'Vek".
PASSIVE: A closer look at the skull's eyes reveals a hypnotic glow of purple and grey mists of the Afterlife. The glow can be made as bright as a torch or as dim as a candle at will.
[Muk]: The staff changes to a thin-bladed falchion, encrusted by ice swirls between the fuller and the guard. Entities that are harmed by the blade feel an anxiety towards death hang upon their hearts. The feelings range between nervousness, apprehension and worry. The target can remedy this over time (Up to the player effected or a DM). Their wounds will retain a white scar after being healed- signifying a reminder of where it came from. Mortal magical means cannot remove the scar.
[Embrak'Vek]: The attuned can cast an incantation and blow out the glow from the skull. A misty, overcast rain with grey skies begins to form within minutes. It lasts for an hour and extends to any one 'region'. It'll remain inert until the next day.
ATTUNED TO: Ashna Kov'Gra'Sek Solus

Divine Log:
IC [ooc]

The Start
It Begins, the Moor's first summoning came during the day Harateth was corrupted and brought down his will among Port Silver's Cathedral. Ashna Tel'Khovr was a new resident of Grafjell and a recent Acolyte, ready to settle and convert to the Grey Lady. She had thought to pray to the Lady in hopes of finding some aid in thwarting the Corruption [Here].

The sermon itself ended up bringing back more of the Corruption's aid, unknowingly to her. Though it ended up being important to her in other ways. However, Ashna was never one to falter to easily... She did at least intend to continue following the domain of her patron in other ways. Like setting up Funeral services.[Here] There has been some involvement with other divines such as Vermella, Silas and Jishrim, but her faith to the Grey Lady has not quite faltered or been swayed.

+Preaching Begins [One], [Two]
+Day of Departing. An offering to the Lady [Here] [A Second time]
+Establishment of the Ministry of the Grey Lady, that still exists today. [Here]
+A statue is built in Grafjell in honor of the Grey Lady.

At some point, she became "Ashna Khovr" as she began to lead Grafjell instead of just live there. She found allies, followers, and enemies. Around this time (fuzzy on the exact days), she had died a second time due to an assassination by Thannis who opposed her ways in a severe and violent manner. As a Jishrim worshipper, the blood of her remains were used to make a spider on the wall of her home. Although she does not know who has done the deed, she has heard rumor of the Jishrim mark and to this day- holds a strong dislike for Jishrimites.

The Lady herself had revived her, showing her the realms of the dead. From the Realm of Rewards, to the Realm of Punishment.


+Hosted Luna's Funeral [Here]
+Claims Neutral Ground around the Crossroads [Here]
+Letters to the Departed [Here]
+Trained an Acolyte to Priesthood, Ailil [Here]
+Ashna really wanted to bring order to all the Crossroad's killings. She makes another claim of Neutral Ground. [Here]
+And then attempts to make guidelines and rules for the place. [Here]
+A second Acolyte to Priesthood, Melosa [Here]
+A third Acolyte to Priesthood, Malek [No link, he had his own thread]

Her actions at this point stem from wanting to prevent needless death, uphold the Divine Law and hope people would follow it. She had a few followers at the time, but despite that, she felt the need to lead things and put herself in danger and out there to do what she believed was right. After a few attempts and major injuries, a few deaths, she has come to a point of pulling herself away from others and only protecting Grafjell and the few people she actually cared about. Her priorities and sense of care narrowed down. At this time, she was "Ashna Kov'Gra'Sek".

+Published a Religious Tomb: Death, Life & Undeath, A viewpoint [Here] among other tombs of religious upbringing.
+Grafjell becomes a small haven for those against the Undead during the Bastion fallings. Grafjell captains a boat to the East in order to save one of the last remaining colonies of life. [Here]

In the new world, she dies once more. A beheading by an enraged man she never agreed with. At this point, she was not to return for she had made up her mind that she would live her last life. But she had left someone she loved very much and a child that could not take care of herself. Her soul had to return. She is no zealot- in her opinion. And her faith had wavered on her return here as affection keeps her alive. To see it ruined on her return and herself helpless to its cause. She has undergone some desperate thoughts and so she tries to find what is important to her.

(Incursion Age)
+Rumored to be Skraag's minions- skeletons show up in Linlea, her family's home. She helps heal those who kill it. [Here]
+Day of Ash [Here]
+Ceremony and Gathering, Another Acolyte to Priesthood, Ventare. [Here]
+She receives some dreams and nightmares alike, from the Grey lady and other whispers. She is Blessed now. (Tier I)

There's been conflict between those close to her, Laerornor and Olive. She stops making sermons to spread faith and seems to try and want to fix her family. She understands that Divine worship isn't necessarily something either like and she is aware that in the past it may have ruined their dynamic. She keeps herself grounded as she sees others like Maceo and Thordil- take their religion literally or misconstrue it enough that they may ignore the importance of people near them. Eventually, Learornor and herself start to sort through some problems and she continues preaching, but with no expectations of anything occurring. Simply because she wants people to learn.

+A Simple Saying [Here]
+Some preaching here in the Market Festival [Here]
+Gravestones in Storm's Landing [Here]
+She is granted a weapon, a staff, that would aid her against undead. (Tier II)
+Cleaning of a Skraag Cathedral [Here]
+Aided in the Incursion of Aldred. Hosted the moving and blessing of the Divine Archway. [Here]
+Allows refugees against soulless blight creatures into Linlea at a cost.
+Blight cleaning on the Isle. Dead corpses found and buried. [Here]
+Hosted the Burial of some of the corpses and asks the Lady for more aid. [Here]
+Heralds announce a stance against Jishrim, Skraag and the Blight [Here]
+She receives a sign in the Cathedral during James Varyn's sermon hosting. Her staff can now turn into a glaive.

She is still Ashna Kov'Gra'Sek and there is not much keeping her alive now save for what she holds important in the mortal world, perhaps selfish now after all she has been through. Power is not what she wants and there is little desire for it in her will. What she seeks from the Lady is protection for the people she cares for in this life. This is a figure so in tune with the feeling of death that threats from powerful and cocky mages or deadly organizations do not fear her enough to back down. So she remains to live.

+Cleaning of the Grey Lady Temple [Here] A promise to hunt the figure that aided the Blight and brought discord to Balance
+A sign comes. Silence now follows her and the color drains wherever she walks. (Tier III)
+A monument of a glaive is built upon the temple
+Ashna has begun seeing the date of death upon corpses.. She spends time in the crypts to catalogue the graves and corpses....
+Commissioned a graveyard in Alderwood Cove

(Starfall Era)
+Hosted a ritual to find Mikhail's soul to speak with it. Sought a confession
+Hosted a ritual to find Veriswen's soul to speak with her. Sought her last words and message to friends and the living. Takes on a task to ease their grief with the message.

+ 5/25/19: Attended an Boar hunt and claims the scorched boar skeletal skull in remembrance of the creature slain through the staff's ability

(A time of peace)
+6/29/19: Hosted a Festival of Spirits. Cathedral and Temple is almost complete. Showcased how to capture spirits.
+Attended an opening of cathedral in Halbed hosted by Ventare. Offered a purple candle stick.

(Blood Vyres)
+Began to cast [Repose] on corpses after the Blood rain and blood baths in SL.
+9/1/19: Met with Ventare to catch up on Vyres. Inspected a captured Vyre and ended up casting something that didn't sit well with the room. Leaves most people unsettled. Some things don't add up. Found a new ability to a spell.
+9/3/19: Casted Divinity to answer a question and set things proper. After a result, sent a Herald out to outlaw Vyres from Linlea.
-Feels a disconnect to the Grey Lady's anger and response.
-After a lifetime of servitude, the desire to reach a higher enlightenment as a Blessed, Exalted, has diminished. Continues to await the time Ventare will surpass her.

(Unhinged)
+11/12/19: News of a strange fog brings curiousness as to what the realm is up to due to the [Broken Chains] where there is restlessness. It brings her out of her attempt at retirement ..
+In a feeling of betrayal, she sees people ready to fight for Archon and the end of the afterlife in favor of purgatory. People siding with companions, rather than logical sense and balance for the realm. Although she was ready to hand reigns over to Ventare, he needed the help, and she found she could not give up without at least helping the Lady keep the realms stable and finding the truth. aka.. "give me the wheel or you're going to drive this ship off the edge"
+11/22/19: In an attempt at diplomacy, calls for all blessed and people who favor the gods to come together to find what their patrons believe. Motivation so far has been the ultimate threat to souls and the end of the afterlife.
+Sides are chosen, aggravation between them holds. Each mortal has their own reason for being where they are, whom they side with and why they wish to avoid it all together. Ashna frequents the Cathedral and Tavern in Storm's Landing to garner understanding. After continuous disheartening conversations, she finds some confidence in Raigo Tideborne as he confirms why people would not fight, but that he believes she speaks truth in all this. Her own motivations become cemented. She begins to advise herself that she cannot have this world turn into purgatory. If the whole realm decided this, she would at least fight it. Even if she fails, there was someone to return to.
+11/11: Asked to speak on behalf of the Grey Lady for peace by Theodosius. Had suggested something that wasn't grand the night before. She came to the Rift in neutral stance, but disliked the proposed stance as it allowed Archon to go free after threatening to ruin the afterlife. Still baffled that people would support this. Slowly understanding that half of them only think Archon is a good person, not that he is doing the right thing. Found an example of why most people are followers and not leaders.
+12/12: Communion with the Lady and Ventare brings more understanding as to whom her Reapers will take. Ashna has already accepted that with a return of the life and death cycle, people would die. She is already desensitized to that fact. She offers a proposal in extension to the last peace talk, that the Revanants may have a last chance, much like how the last time this happened, the Lady gave them another chance at life when the Corruption ended. To her relief, the Lady considered it with both her followers suggestion.
+Heralds a poster to explain the Grey Lady's side and deny the false, fear mongering propaganda against her.
+12/13: Hosts a trek to the Temple of Shalherana, calling for Daeron of Blackstone and Heaven's Reach long ago, to help speak with her. End results in her accepting to help the weakened.
+12/14: Awakens as an Oracle (Tier IV), in relief, that diplomacy attempts were being answered and observed. Accepts Archon was not made as the gods were and his stance came from seeing the horrors of the afterlife, of which there is no denial that there are. Gave him [Death Ward] in the battle against Strange to uphold the Lady's end of their bargain for peace, as the Grey Lady forgave him and apologized. Marks Conner's corpse, a young man that died, with an ashen cross across the forehead so that he does not come back undead.
+Sets up a Tribute section in Storm's Landing for grave-marks and burial site for those fallen.

+Reluctant to helping the world now that it's not collapsing into itself. She is never in pursuit of higher power, but is still grateful for the efforts she has given being answered and acknowledged. Albeit for the recent outings were to make sure the afterlife stayed where it was. Effectively retiring to Linlea, Laerornor, and her people, for some needed peace and quiet for the foreseeable future.

+ 6/3/2020: Half a year of a needed break to meditate in a tropical village near the outskirts of the wards, she quietly returns to Linlea. Her artifact undergoes a change and third form, gifted for the changes overcome between Archon and the GL.

(The Arc of the Oracle)
+6/28/2020: Attended Illyrana's first sermon. It was short and nice. Though she fumbled on a few of her lessons about the afterrealms. She spoke with her in more detail to learn the girl manages and is building her own shrine and graveyard. Casts vision to teach her how a soul dies and goes to Limbo.
+Around 7/2/2020: Cast Divination to give an assessment.
+7/11/2020: Cast Divination and a number of spells to cure the curse of undeath from both Jenette and Jorvun. Successful
+Over the next few weeks, she began speaking with Illyrana to teach her about the Grey Lady and details of what an Acolyte should know. Proper prayer methods, life and death.
+8/7/2020: Hosted a gathering for the Ministry. Four came together to speak about the SL's graves to make new rules, Skraagites and their new potential way to turn people undead and how to remove the curse, writing a Lore book of "supernatural beings' from the afterrealms - first of which "Archon" is completed, talk of Vyre experiments- but nothing came of the latter.
+8/8/2020: Last verbal lesson given to Illyrana, after taking her on as a student officially as Ventare does other things. Of proper burials and the stages of decay. The next day, she did a quick exchange of knowledge with "The Seeker" so she can learn about the Grey Lady. In exchange, she heard about the battle against Qlippoth and how three Mantles of other gods came to help.
+8/11/2020: Announced the Ministy's response to jishrimites being burned alive in the pyres of SL, and people corpse stealing. Landing's Graves

===
+9/3/2020: Founded a Sect of the Graveward. A formal group that will form a more defined GL faith group that is more spiritual inclined (ghostbusters), exorcists, rather than undead killing inclined.
+9/22/2020: A cure for Vyreism is discovered. Gravewalkers
+9/29/2020: Around these next few days, we uncover there are odd walking constructs that have no souls. Herald
+10/24/2020: Funeral for Archon
+Illyrana was blessed a while back.
+Converted Asfrid from Visage to The Grey Lady. Took her on as a student
+Grey/Laerornor lessons.

Made some updates- I feel odd going this route, but it's been on my mind for a long while. So not too surprising on my end.
