Moriah Elsene
Air Sagani Bard
“I move the wind, but the wind also moves me. Wherever we go, we go there together.”
Appearance: The bard with the translucent blue skin stands on the edge of the fountain and sings with her eyes closed. The wind whips around her layered skirts and through the large metal pan pipes she holds. They seem to play by themselves, a haunting tune made more beautiful by the sagani’s strong clear voice. As the tune reaches its height her figure lifts up into the air to the crowd’s astonishment.
​
Personality: Vibrant and passionate, Moriah’s mercurial emotions swirl around the solid core of her being. Personal integrity is her anchor and ultimately her guide, no matter how tumultuous her mood. She is loyal to those she loves, but stubborn, often deciding what they need whether they agree or not.
​
Motivation: I still can’t believe it happened. We were so happy, and now he hates me and I’m so angry with him. I have to prove my innocence, make him see the truth and make sure he won’t forget me.
​
Roleplaying Tips: Moriah Elsene harbors a superstition about the wind, believing it bears signs of good or ill fortune. She has a fear of tight spaces from when she was trapped in a collapsed building.
​
Background: Moriah Elsene was the oldest of two sagani born to her family. Considered blessed, she and her brother were raised with love among their many siblings. When her powers manifested she adapted, but her brother struggled. Unable to control his gift, he violently destroyed their home, burying the family. Most survived, but her brother fled in shame. Years later, Moriah left to find him.
​
Traits: Adventurer, Agile, Arcane, Attractive, Chaotic, Cunning, Good, Mercenary, and Persuasive
​
Dark Secret: Moriah has been framed for the murder of The First Line’s former leader and Markaius Thallion believes the lie. Moriah is still in love with him, but her anger gives her slim hope of reconciling.
Plot Hooks
-
The rivalry between The First Line and The Last Word runs deep, stemming from the scandal involved with the murder of The First Line’s former leader. Each group does whatever it can to spite the other and Moriah Elsene enjoys being a thorn in Markaius Thallion’s side. You can ally with one, but not both.
-
Though it is believed that Moriah is a murderer, there was not enough evidence to involve the law and she remains free to investigate what really happened. Moriah wants to know who killed her former leader and the reason she was framed for it. She’s searching for anyone who holds proof of her innocence and those who have had dealings with Markaius Thallion’s new fiancée, Saralie Savrigne.
-
Despite her recent infamy, Moriah has never given up the hope of finding her younger brother. She will investigate any rumor of other sagani she can, especially those of the element of air, trusting that one day the winds of life will unite them again. If you are one born of elemental blood, she’ll seek you out.
