MORVAHNA THE DAWNSHADOW

Nature’s cycles are inherently contradictory, with night turning to day and life to death in moments. Morvahna balances upon the sharp divide between light and dark, life and death, strength and weakness. She draws her strength from the rhythms of the natural world and yet invokes her power to cull enemies of the Circle Orboros, cutting the strands of fate tying them to Caen. More than most, she possesses a keen understanding of the power of blood and sacrifice and can harness the most primal energies to advance her agenda.
Morvahna is counted among the most politically shrewd of the Circle’s leaders, a woman who has accumulated tremendous influence and power while navigating the sometimes treacherous upper echelons of the organization. While some of her rivals cannot see past her ambition and her facility for manipulation, she has bent all her considerable powers toward the destruction of the order’s enemies, foremost among them the Legion of Everblight. Her political machinations suffered a slight setback after a failed attempt to eliminate her greatest rival, Krueger the Stormlord. That he must pay for his disobedience seemed a foregone conclusion, as the Stormlord had defied not one but all three of the omnipotents in his quest to ally with Blighterghast and the other dragons. Yet even when a grand conclave found Krueger guilty and sentenced him to death, Wurmwood’s intervention preserved him.
This unexpected failure did not deter Morvahna but only forced her to adapt and change her tactics. She has seen how infighting divided the ranks and created further division, and she shifted her goals to restore her power base through subtler means, all while coordinating strikes against an enemy that had become an ever-escalating threat. While her ambition is undiminished, Morvahna has felt compelled to enter into alliances she might once have deemed unthinkable. She quickly restored her standing among her peers, regaining influence with an alacrity no other blackclad could have managed.
Krueger’s more recent failure to eliminate Everblight has reinvigorated Morvahna. Her rival’s risky gambit left him unable to resist the Dawnshadow’s maneuvering. She has played the part of cunning leader and manipulator, absorbing some of his domains into her own or allocating them to other druids she counts as friends or allies. As has long been her talent, she has turned the recent chaos within the order to her benefit. The Dawnshadow now joins battle with renewed purpose, wielding all the tremendous powers at her disposal. Astride her Skirovik mountain goat, the power of life in blood is hers to command, and those who follow her entrust their lives to her discretion. The ebb and flow of the natural order rests within Morvahna’s fingertips, guiding her toward her destiny.
