Agatha Cullurus

"I'm sorry, child, but you will have to learn to unwind your threads of fate on your own. However, once you discover the method of disentanglement... I wonder if you'll still choose to do so."

— Sylviana, the Healer

Description

Agatha is twenty-three years old, a cleric of Xilios, and follows the Study of Faith. She is one of the seven who brought about the Everian Ascension, helping the Rising to take down the Everian Council and instate a new government over Everia.

Appearance

Fair skinned and fiery haired, Agatha is rather short for a Grailae, standing at only five feet, five inches tall. Her wings, when they appear, are mostly white, speckled with gold and soft brown at the tips of the feathers. She has bright blue eyes, and she is never seen without her cleric's armor, bearing the symbols of the Duralian Sanctum and her commitment to Xilios. Her Magic often manifests as fire due to this commitment, and her connection to light and the sun is only ever dimmed by true darkness.

Personality

Agatha's personality mimics her magic, fiery and full of life. Quick-witted and viciously intelligent, Agatha is often the first to speak on a problem, and always moves to the defense of the underdog or the less fortunate.

Backstory

Agatha Cullurus was a Lesser Grailaeborn in Durial to Dalia and Petrnor Cullurus. Her parents were traveling merchants, and while she traveled with them as an infant, they enrolled her with the Duralian Sanctum when she reached schooling age. She spent most of her childhood learning academics and religion from the clerics, but when her parents did not return from a voyage when she was thirteen, she threw herself into her studies.

She quickly grew in the Study of Faith, gaining a reputation as a healer in the local Duralian community. When she turned eighteen, she graduated from her training at the Sanctum and began travels of her own. She wandered Everia as a healer and judge, helping to settle local disputes and help the sickly wherever she went, all the while searching for what might have happened to her parents.

You're obsessed with playing the leader until someone else takes charge, and then you're just another follower.

— Agatha Cullurus

At the age of twenty-three, she received a letter from a noblewoman named Lady Lianore Thallia, who claimed to know her parents and have clues to their whereabouts. She immediately set off for Hamouth, where the Lady had requested Agatha meet with a small group for dinner. Thallia said she needed help resolving a situation, and when Agatha arrived, she discovered the situation was much deeper than she had expected.

Education

Raised by the clerics of the Duralian Sanctum, Agatha grew up in the ways taught by Xilios. She is well-read, having studied Everian history and politics, but also very knowledgeable on the arcane, healing and medicine, and basic herbology to aid in her medic training.

Relationships

Agatha was devoted to her parents, and kept every gift they ever brought her. Later, she became very close with the group of warriors hired by Lady Thallia to stop Arcin Everglade and eventually the Everian Council. She is especially close with Morhan Irstina, who would eventually become her husband after the events of the Everian Ascension.
