The Mystic Order of Speakers
The Speakers are a matriarchal order of warriors and mystics who serve and guide the Vharog Clans of the Ghostlands. Their fortress-convent lies at the heart of Jhaga Tal, where the Clan districts meet. Many Sisters spend their entire lives within the city’s walls, but many others perform the vital task of guarding the trade caravans that are the lifeblood of the Clans as they make their perilous journeys through the apocalyptic badlands. The Nomad Sisters who volunteer for this sacred duty live dangerous, and often short lives, but die as heroes to the Order and the Clans.
Anaka
A young Adept of the Order out on her first trade
expedition in the Wildlands. Outcast among her
Convent peers for her ancestry, she took the Nomad
Oath as soon as she was allowed.
Strong willed and determined, with a rigid sense
of justice, she aspires to rise above her cursed
bloodline and be remembered as one of the great
heroes of the Order.
Grusha
Elder Matron and experienced Nomad, and a
member of the Elder Council. For decades she
has walked the path of the Nomad, protecting
the caravans of Clan Morov from the perils of the
Ghostlands.
Regardless of her stern demeanour, Grusha is patient
and thoughtful in her guidance of the Sisters under
her care.
Kasa
Kasa is a Sentinel – an Adept of the Order’s warrior
Conclave. Impetuous and impulsive from the creche,
she was forever at odds with the Convent’s strict
rules. Many Matrons breathed a sigh of relief when
she took the Nomad oath.
Ferocious in battle, firm in friendship, Kasa has
embraced her cursed Fury blood as a source of
strength. She will not back down from a fight
without good reason.
Senja
Senja is a Pathfinder – a Matron of the Order’s
hunter Conclave. She cares little for pomp or
ceremony, preferring cards and dice to rules
and duty.
Her relaxed demeanour seems at odds with her role,
but her eyes and instincts are as sharp as the blade
she carries. She has been Grusha’s second for dozens
of expeditions in the Ghostlands.
Nenya
Nenya is a Spiritcaller – an Adept of the Order’s
mystic Conclave. Her Wards are spirits bound
to service by mutual pacts – they act as scouts
and protectors, providing Nenya with vital
intelligence during expeditions.
Her gifts allow her to communicate with the
spirits of the Aether, an ability that is equal parts
blessing and curse.
