Prominent Figures: Difference between revisions

Impersonable, severe, and reclusive, Mae Stern is (at best) a controversial figure in Ephia's Well. In 7787, during the Battle of the Red Hill, she pulled a terrible star from the sky and sent it crashing down into the battlefield, devastating the enemy, but inflicting a horrific blood plague upon the world with its tainted light. She is commonly regarded with suspicion and loathing by those who remember the sick, the dying, or the mutated, ruined by the aftershocks of her dark triumph. Nonetheless, she is known as a brilliant mind in field of engineering, and a pragmatic representative of the Astronomers of Q'tolip. Rumors abound of her research into topics long-forbidden by the Sultan, and of a bitter scorn for the Gods.
