Morana

Warning: Mourning and genocidal actions in this article.

 

You shall all decay in agony!

— Morana

 

Origins

Knowler and Beight created Morana alongside Justlight and Lunarius. She became known as the most powerful Life Druid Astnyr had ever known. That was until she became the Lady of Death after going insane with grief.  

Morana the Life Druid

Nave trained Morana personally in the Druidic Order. Morana studied meticulously as she learned how healing with Nature Magic worked. However, she found some downsides, as there were many poisons and diseases that were plaguing the people of Astnyr. She collected samples of them, studying them to find antidotes and cures within them. Lunarius offered to help her with this research, and she accepted. Morana sent her brother many samples as she studied her workload alongside him. Together, they could find cures for these poisons and diseases, making Astnyr's citizens healthier. The Druidic Order recognized Morana's efforts and appointed her as Grand Healer. As Grand Healer, Morana taught other Life Druids her antidotes and cures.  

50 Years of Torment

The celebration of Lunarius's downfall happened every year in the month, Reflan. Morana witnessed it in Magick Glades every year, wishing for all of Astnyr to remember Lunarius as who he was before. He was a researcher who saved many lives throughout his life, as well as trying to study a war in another region. Lunarius wanted to help people, not bring about their destruction. After seeing the celebration year after year, Morana saw the people as spiteful beings. They ignored her grief for so long, and she wished for them to die in decay and agony. This turned her insane and gained the power of Death Magic. Morana hid this new magic as she rallied Life Druids that were loyal to her for her cause. This was to end all of Magick Glades, as well as those who saw Lunarius only as a blight to the world.  

The Lady of Death

Once Morana gained enough followers, she trained them in death magic. The once Life Druids trained in secret, even Nave did not know of this. Morana then attacked Magick Glades with her new necromancers, destroying the city and killing the citizens. Her anger and despair were great as she cast disease and decay on all she came across. The horrors she inflicted were a betrayal to all Astnyr strived for. Nave called for help, and Knowler answered. The battle between them was fierce, but Morana ultimately failed in her crusade. She survived, but had to go into hiding for a time.   Morana planned and schemed, finding the perfect opportunity to attack. She sent a spy to Magick Glades, hoping to know what new security Nave had implemented over the years. The spy reported back with significant findings. With this security information, Morana attacked for the second time. This time, she succeeded. No one could help Magick Glades. With the city in ruins and the people in hiding, Morana traveled to her domain of Necrom Hollows. She trusts her necromancers to finish the survivors off. This would bring total genocide to the druids of Astnyr.  

Animal Form

Morana can transform into a sly fox. With this form, she can leave Necrom Hollows to spy on the denizens of Astnyr. She saw the construction of Seaport, and she created a necromancy haven within its sewers. Morana witnessed Strection's betrayal to Astnyr, becoming aggressive and barricading his city of Dwarves. She discovered Sonance's vision, the reason for Strection's rash actions. The Lady of Death became interested in this, waiting for Lunarius's chosen to reveal their presence.
