Pharah, the only daughter of Syllara, the Blind Huntress, stands in legend as a radiant Martyr whose sacrifice lifted her beyond mortality. Ancient accounts speak of her as the most beautiful being in creation, her splendor said to rival even the Sun itself. Yet her renown was not born of beauty but of valor. When Balor, last of the Fomorians, tore free from his abyssal prison, his greed and wrath threatened to consume the world. In that cataclysmic clash, Pharah faced him alone, her bow blazing with her mother’s light. Though their bodies were torn apart in ruin, her courage saved countless lives, and in death she ascended as an Exarch of justice.
To her faithful, Pharah is more than mere demigod — she is proof that mortals, through sacrifice, may share eternity beside the gods. Her shrines are found across the Isles, where statues of flawless marble are raised, only to be ritually shattered and pieced back together with molten gold. Each crack marks both the price of her martyrdom and the strength of her spirit. Petitioners call upon her in moments of uncertainty, believing her presence guides them toward what is just. Unlike other Exarchs, Pharah is revered almost as a goddess herself, invoked in holy vows and hailed as a moral exemplar who chose creation’s survival over her own life.
