    Name: Keira (used to be Keira Icewing)
    Class: Monk/Rogue/Barbarian
    Home: Oscura
    Custom Items:
    Corde of Iron
    ((Resist pierce5, choking powder 3/day)) A woven iron belt gained after some private prayers on the nature of secrets and intent in the line for Santa Claus. Someone's thumb was upon the scales when Keira was rated as 'a Very Good Girl'. (Other actions have also contributed).

    Shadow's Collar
    ((camoflage 2/day)) A stout leather collar given to her by Nicahh. The golden pendant tag bears the initials 'NV'. Keira doesn't wear it all the time, she doesn't need to.

    Jade Amulet of Grace
    ((+1dex)) (Enchanted by Anakore from various cat components and some of Nicahh's hair) Useful, and part of Nicahh to carry around with her. 'The chains that hold us are only the chains that we make'

    Turmish rubber-soled boots
    ((Elec resist)) Once owned by the Selunite Yu Shei and claimed after her death. An anomaly in space-time means that we don't talk about it.

    Heart of the Sisterhood (Guardian Sisterhood Amulet)
    ((+2AC, +2 cha)) Keira's changing. That requires a lesser emphasis on fighting, because there are other ways to do what must be done.

    Bitch Slap
    ((+2Atk, +d4 Slash)) Keira's Sisterhood guild gloves featuring fine blades along the backs of the knuckles.

    Gloves of the Yellow Rose - Electrically charged gloves of an Ilmatrian monk order. Originally bought from a visiting Ilmatrian paladin who misunderstood the basis for Keira's facility with healing people and keeping them alive. It amuses Keira to make people suffer using them.

    Keira's knife collection
    Salina's Scalpel - ((-5 enhancement, DC14 Wounding)) - A hooked implement not intended for fighting. Used to be owned by one of Peltarchs most celebrated inquisitors.
    Blade of the Alchemist - A fragile obsidian dagger with an acid reservoir, permanently coating the blade.
    Shared Pain - ((+1atk vs dragons, -1Str, -1Con, -1AC)) - A dagger with a barbed handle and a lovely surprise from Jerr.
    Confessor's blade - ((Inflict minor unlimited/day)) - A torture implement (created by Ribs)
    Poison blade - Lost in the lightning strike, a gift from Keira's mentor Elvadriel.
    Broken Dagger - ((CLW 2/day)) - A spiky holy item that Keira came by (LD). It heals after causing enough pain to the recipient.
    Kiss of the Lady - ((DC14 Fort save d2 Con dmg)) - renamed drow dagger, bought at exorbitant cost following a raid. Likely only to be used against helpless opponents.

    • various mundane skinning knives, torture hooks etc.

    Kerby mentioned that adding Goals here might be useful, so I have.

    Goals 2006: Keira doesn't follow Loviatar anymore, fiercely adopting Fenmarel's doctrines of protecting elves and friends using any means necessary, from the shadows. Continued rejection and ostracism from the more ostentatiously good have driven her deeper into roles where she finds a measure of acceptance and respect. The Far Scouts in particular have made frequent use of her skills in missions that the Paladinic Senators will ideally never know happened.

    First of her concerns is to serve Nicahh (and her Sisters) again how they need to be helped rather than how they might want to be helped. Beyond that she's grown more comfortably independent alone and isolated, resenting interference from judgemental outsiders.

    1. Make the world a better, quieter place.
    2. Destroy those that mean us harm.
    3. Help others to understand the truth. That hope is futile and each moment may be final so to take what little comfort there is in transient pleasures.

    Goals 2004: Keira follows Loviatar, first and foremost. She's wary of mentioning it outright for fear of persecution, and because her path is mostly one of ascetic, monkly self-development. Keira's interested in helping others learn through the experience of pain, and fortunately there seems to be enough of it around without needing to mutilate non-consenting folks.

    1. Find other Loviatans, so we can grow together in faith. Or indeed, other people who are open to such learning.
    2. Strive for complete understanding of Her truths, ideally with a more senior monk.
    3. Serve greater power - Keira feels happiest in a vague familial hierarchy.


  • Updated knives and collar.
