Aloria is an elegant gold-scaled dragonborn with shimmering metallic skin that catches the light in soft, rippling patterns. Her tall, regal frame is adorned in flowing black and crimson robes, embroidered with intricate golden sigils. Her piercing amber eyes seem to peer straight into the soul, and a simple amulet shaped like an unblinking eye hangs around her neck. Aloria’s long, clawed fingers are always clasped, as though weighing unseen options.

Aloria is meticulous, professional, and unwaveringly neutral in her dealings, favoring logic and reason over emotion. She respects knowledge and power in all its forms but remains detached from moral considerations. Though polite and accommodating, her sharp wit and unflinching gaze can be unnerving. Aloria cares deeply for the preservation of magical items, often seeing them as greater treasures than their wielders. Her ultimate loyalty is to her own sense of balance, ensuring neither chaos nor order claims too much dominion.

Aloria’s calm demeanor belies a history steeped in arcane mystery. Born into a lineage of dragonborn scholars, she forsook academia in pursuit of forbidden knowledge. A fateful pact with an enigmatic entity granted her insight into the inner workings of magic. While she does not worship her patron, she fulfills its cryptic demands in exchange for unparalleled power. Establishing The Gilded Reliquary allowed her to remain close to the arcane artifacts she adores while subtly using the shop as a means to unearth hidden relics for her patron's purposes.
