Tharka Wolfsblood

Tharka – Primal Huntress Stone-skinned Orc and silent as snowfall, Tharka hails from the Shardfang Peaks. A warrior and beast-tracker, she carries the chill of high altitudes and ancient blood in equal measure. Her rage is cold, her hunting precise, and her reverence for nature is spiritual rather than dogmatic. She wears her kills in her dreadlocked hair, and her bond to the land is bone-deep. Towering and stone-skinned, Tharka is known among the Embeth Hunters for her primal connection to the land. Born high in the Shardfang Peaks, she learned to hunt wyrms and shadowcats before she could speak in full sentences. Her rage is controlled into her cold and silent—more like a winter blowing than a wildfire. She is deeply spiritual in a raw, animistic way, and wears trophies of her kills woven into her dreadlocked hair. Tharka is not warm, but neither is she cruel. She is the embodiment of nature’s impartiality—cold, vast, and unyielding. She speaks little, preferring to communicate through action, glances, or the occasional cryptic proverb passed down from her ancestors. Backstory Born among the wind-lashed crags of the Shardfang Peaks, Tharka’s people—the highland dwellers known for their resilience and connection to these snowy peaks. Tharka distinguished herself young by stalking and felling a wyrmling that had preyed upon her kin. She was given the name "Tharka"—meaning "deep-rooted storm" in the Embeth tongue. She left the peaks not out of exile or ambition, but because she believed the spirits had shown her a vision: a rotting corruption spreading across the land.

Now a member of the Embeth Hunter search for the same goal. Her expertise in lowland forests, tundras, and even cities, a grim sentinel watching for signs of this spreading decay. Her rage is not fiery or reckless. It is silent, rooted deep like a mountain before an avalanche. When she fights, she does so with eerie calm, her Fury expressed through deliberate, brutal blows and a terrifying, unblinking focus. Tharka holds a deep animistic spirituality. She believes everything has a spirit—stones, rivers, beasts, even echoes—and treats them with respect. She often performs rituals with bone charms or speaks to ancestral spirits through smoke and song.
