This update is solely focused on the idea that Lana is beginning to become something of a tragic character, having seen too much, knowing too much. She desires solely to help, which has lead her to adopt too many conflicting viewpoints. The Ivory War and the Fall of Candlewood has left Lana mourning and hurting.
Traumatized from many storylines, she feels far older than she is. After all, timey whimey, four generations have come in the last (nearly) three OOC years Lana has been constantly played. Whilst Lana is a character aged by one OOC day at a time, the world around her-- and the events that take place-- do not.
She has lost much. She has been hurt and has hurt others. Regrets and sorrow haunt her.
She has been broken, rebuilt, and broken again.
The humilitations, the battlegrounds of Blight, Corruption, Jishrim's insanity and the undead fresh on her mind.
Yet she endures. Others have given up in her place, men more powerful and influential than her lost their patience with reality. Yet when Lana looks around her at everyone, the youth and the ambitious, the ancient and their dedications, the Blessed, the heretical, the blooming and the rotting-- she finds comfort that she is still here, she has a family, a son and she is still here.
She can still help. She can still make a difference. Like her father before her, she can defeat the demon threat through wisdom.
