  Mortal Story
  In the early days of Almilir, poisons were once feared—but with the rise of magical healing, they became little more than curiosities. Haralle, a gifted spellcaster and researcher, was fascinated by them nonetheless. To her peers, it was a childish obsession, and she became the subject of ridicule from both scholars and commoners.
  But Haralle’s curiosity led her to a breakthrough. By infusing mundane toxins with magic, she created living poisons—agents that behaved like diseases, secreting incurable venom into their victims. At first, she sought recognition. She invited a committee to witness her work, but they mocked her again, dismissing her as outdated.
  Humiliated, Haralle unleashed her creation on one of the judges. Within days, he fell gravely ill, and soon the disease spread to the others. To her shock, she realized she could control the spread of her living poisons.
  From then on, she abandoned the pursuit of respect. She tested her creations on those who mocked her, refining them into a magitech weapon capable of striking anyone she chose. Whispers spread of Haralle’s Disease, a plague that could not be traced, cured, or resisted. She became the perfect assassin, selling her services while remaining untouchable.
  By the time a cure was finally discovered, Haralle had already ascended, her name immortalized in fear.
  Ascension
  Haralle’s rise was not through armies or conquest, but through terror and inevitability. Her poisons made her untouchable, her reputation unassailable. When she died, her legend lived on in every whispered fear of unseen death, every cough in the night, every shadowed suspicion of betrayal.
  Thus, she became the minor goddess of Murder and Disease, patroness of assassins, poisoners, and those who kill without leaving a trace.
