Introduction

The ghostly Snowy Owl glided through the underworld mists, no fear or hesitation in her flight. The Underworld held no surprises or terror for her, this was as much her land as it was that of the Death Knights and their Lieges.

Turning in, she circled a small clearing, and headed East, coming soon to a Nomadic Tribe of the dead, their encampment guarded by brawny ghosts armed with spears and bows. Gliding in, she landed delicately on a log near the fire and preened while the elders studied her curiously.

In the blink of an eye, the owl was gone and a beautiful woman, garbed in white silks was perched near the fire. As the heat helped thaw some of the underworlds northern chill from her bones, she spoke to the eldest Chieftan, the one they called Frost Voice. "Old one, I bring you a message from the world of the living, the last of your descendants has passed over. The Tribe still desires your advice and guidance, and would meet you at the Oleander Hotsprings to show their continued respect."

The old man smiled, a cold and sharp smile, "yes, they would. But my discontent with the people who destroyed my lineage is of no import, I thank you for travelling on such a dangerous journey to bring this message Daughter of the Moon, how can I show my gratitude?"

"A meal and a small token is all I ask old one." Rubbing her hands together to stay warm she awaited his response.

"But ofcourse, food will be available soon, and a small token you say." Thinking, he reached into his puch and pulled out the skeleton of a mouse, cunningly held together by fibres of Soulsteel, with soulfire eyes. "This small token will alert you to the presence of those tainted by the Void, as well as the Hungry Dead."

Soon food arrived, and they talked through the night before the woman carried on back to the lands of the living.

Cereas Ghost-Wings, No-Moon Messenger to the Dead.

Symbolism : Owls have almost always been associated with death and wisdom, their ghostly passage through the night reminiscent of ghosts or shades passing by. So I chose a No-Moon messenger to and from the Dead, a woman as confident in the Underworld as she is in the living world. A Sorcerer and traveller, she is no warrior, but can, when push comes to shove, bite back.

Charms :
Finding the Spirits Shape (Snowy Owl)
Shaping the Ideal Form
Eagle Eye Advantage
Beast Instinct Method
Sense Sharpening Change
Spirit-Scenting Technique
Terrestrial Circle Sorcery
-Internal Flame
-Mists of Eventide

Not exactly a battle master, but she was never intended to be, her purpose is a Guide to the Underworld, or a Messenger from the Living to Dead (or Vice Versa.)
