The Riven Lands

An ethereal Darakhul woman with pale, translucent skin that glows with inner spiritual light, attracting both living clients and restless spirits. She wears flowing robes adorned with corrupted religious symbols, creating an authentic spiritual atmosphere during séances. Surrounded by mystical paraphernalia that includes theatrical props and genuine necromantic implements, her dark eyes reflect glimpses of the spirit world where she communicates with souls hungry for emotional sustenance.

Mystical and manipulative, Vera combines genuine spiritual knowledge corrupted by undead pragmatism about death and the afterlife. She uses her real supernatural abilities to enhance convincing fraudulent spiritual communications, providing exactly the spiritual comfort each grieving person needs. She views her criminal activities as religious services with appropriate fees, genuinely believing she offers valuable therapeutic assistance while exploiting emotional vulnerability for profit and spiritual sustenance.

Vera was once a devoted priestess who perished while performing last rites during a devastating necromantic plague. Her death was not the end, as she rose again, her religious knowledge intact but twisted by an undead perspective on mortality and spirituality. This transformation granted her the rare ability to genuinely communicate with restless spirits. These spirits demand offerings, and Vera exploits this by conducting séances that blend genuine supernatural messages with fraudulent spiritual communications. She maintains her religious authority, using her powers to feed the spirits with the emotional energy of grieving clients while collecting payment for her services. Vera sees her work as a sacred duty, providing comfort and closure, even as she manipulates and profits from the desperation of others.
