Aura Petrichor

Yes

No

No

As a changeling, much of the world saw Aura as a monster. Growing up she was hunted, and she would have been killed if the Petrichor family had not found her and taken her in.

There she learned to harness her powers, and then ended up as a cleric to the God of Death. When an adventuring party that her aunt was part of lost one of their own Aura stepped up to help them as best she could, but in doing so she had a crisis of faith; the Chosen Champion of the God of Death was murdered without said God stepping in to even attempt at saving him.

If the God of Death would not step up for His Champion, what chance did she have? Why did she pray to a God that never answered anyone, who could not be stirred to save the one He considered most important in the mortal world?

Shattered by this revelation, and not really able to articulate to her aunt or the others of the party what she was feeling, Aura was drawn in by cultists who devoted themselves to the Tarrasque. As the God of Monsters it was perhaps the most perfect thing for her, a God who wanted worshippers and would answer her prayers, a God who promised to make her its Champion.

The yuan-ti Darev helped, and when not adventuring Aura helped with the cult. She wanted to ensure those who served were happy, and she was happy with Darev. She was happy...

Then Darev betrayed her. As the world fell apart due to the Strain, as the Tarrasque awoke fully after slumbering in the wake of the Pantheon War and began to wreak havoc, Darev and the other yuan-ti turned on her and tried to destroy her. She had taken the throne as was her right as a child of the Petrichor family, she was Empress, she was the Chosen of the Tarrasque, and yet it all came crashing down.

Thankfully the adventuring party Aura had been part of were able to defeat the God of Monsters, and Aura stepped down as leader without a real fight; she realized how the Tarrasque had blinded her to its true intentions, and how she had been betrayed by it because it had asked the yuan-ti to kill her when it awakened as it no longer had use for her.

Exiled from the kingdom and finding herself bearing Darev's child, Aura found a place to settle down away from the cities and did her best to raise the child, which she named Sable.

The world was peaceful for a time. Gods rearranged themselves into new roles, another member of the Petrichor family took the throne, and the Strain was gone...until it wasn't. The magical storm that had plagued the land for so long came back with a vengeance for reasons unknown, and as the world began to die Aura did the only thing she could think of; calling upon what little clerical abilities she had left she opened a rift to another world and sent Sable through.

Not that the teenager wanted to leave his mother, but he also knew there wasn't a choice. She couldn't maintain the portal and go through it, and if he stayed then they'd both die. He opted to honor his mother's sacrifice by heading on and making something of himself wherever he ended up, never letting the tales of her bravery and time as an adventurer die.

Aura is gone, but her child remains...
