Vaelis

The sources say little about this yet. Everything known is on this page; add to it as the campaign continues.

Vaelis
also known as Sister Vaelis of the Frozen Vein, Keeper of Buried Truths
Role	Warden of Old Iceverf
Race / kind	Elkborn (undead)
GM canon
first cited: [heralds-b#399]

Vaelis is the last of the Elkborn, a race the Aenarch Empire fears above all others, and a fallen paladin who now stands — undead — as the warden of Old Iceverf. ^{[owner-form-2026-09-17 · heralds-b#399 · heralds-b#406]} She is a dead paladin risen as undead, not a living woman refusing death. ^{[owner-form-2026-09-17]}

Overview

Vaelis keeps a solitary watch beneath Iceverf, guarding what the city itself has forgotten. ^{[heralds-b#399]} Her domain answers to a single rule: what sleeps beneath the city must never learn the Empire still exists. ^{[heralds-b#399]}

Why she still stands, and what she truly is, is not something the city — or the party — has been told.

Players, stop here. What is hidden behind this point is game-master material. The full detail is on GM:Vaelis.

Unconfirmed ideas

The source conversations contain proposals for Vaelis that the campaign owner never confirmed. They are collected on Idea:Vaelis so they cannot be mistaken for canon.
