Alisa D'Medvyed

Domitius has become enamored of this young lady, whilst it is early days in their relationship the couple seem to be getting along well.  

Alisa is a cleric of the fallen goddess Acavna and her faith seems to have struck something in Domitius.  He has already discussed plans on assisting her in building a temple to her goddess











 Description

As half-elf women tend to go, Alisa is shorter than many, nearer to the average of a human.   She is on the slender side, yet more curvy than some of such mixed blood. Her eyes are a dark human brown,  complexion light tan, hair pure elvish white, like new winter snow. She tends to wear it in a distinctive and formal braid, the origin of which most would be hard pressed to say. Her clerical raiment is dusk blue, white, and silver trimmed, though more commonly she's grey-cloaked, and suited up in studded leather armor.

The finely crafted spear she bears is reflected in the silver sigil that hangs about her throat -- a pair of spears crossed atop a full moon.

Story:   Those who've spent time in the lands of the Medvyed, in eastern Brevoy, may recall a particular ill-fated romance. Betwixt Trevor D'Medvyed, middle son of a local Master, and a pale haired fey beauty most thought to be some denizen of the Gronzi forest.   The relationship ran long and seriously enough to produce a child, a daughter, whom the couple briefly raised together after marrying.  But ended in heartbreak for Trevor when his elfin lady love departed, not to be seen again.   For whatever reason, she did not take the child with her, leaving Trevor as sole parent.

As Alisa grew, there were whispers and gossip as to the nature of her lineage.    With the general regard the Medvyed feel toward the fey, these were nothing that detrimented her life.   And those close to Trevor knew she was nothing more unusual than a half-elf.    Even so, the whispers that Alisa began to hear at adolescence were unusual.   Spoken by one who was never physically there.  She'd no way of knowing her mother's people could hear the same, in their home at the Spire.

Alisa became scarce as she grew toward womanhood.   Some said that she was spending time with some secret love, while others that she was involved in some sort of apprenticeship.     And neither was entirely wrong, if still far off the truth.    Eventually, she presented herself with the trappings and powers of a fully anointed cleric.
The silver holy symbol she wears -- crossed spears over a full moon -- do not represent any god who is broadly known in the present day.     Though some versed in Azlanti history and religion may recognize the sigil of Acavna -- a goddess said to have perished centuries ago, in the cataclysm of the Earthfall.

Acavna

Acavna is a now long-forgotten deity of the Azlanti people, who was dedicated to the moon and to defensive battle. She is said to have vanished shortly before Earthfall. The only known references to her existence can be found in the ancient ruined city of Saventh-Yhi in the Mwangi Expanse, and in an ancient Azlanti temple nearby.

History

What few know is that Acavna died trying to protect the Azlanti from the destruction of Earthfall. When she learned of the aboleths' plan to destroy the continent, she pulled Golarion's moon from its orbit to intercept the massive meteorite. The impact with the moon shattered the world-killing projectile into thousands of pieces, but did not slow or deflect it from its course. Instead, its shards inflicted lethal wounds on the goddess' physical manifestation. Distraught by her death, the Azlanti god of magic, Amaznen, sacrificed himself to render the remaining deadly aboleth magic clinging to the meteorite fragments inert, transforming it from a world-killer to one that, while still incredibly destructive, gave life on Golarion a chance to survive. When it impacted with Golarion, it completely obliterated the continent of Azlant and plunged the world into the Age of Darkness, but thanks to Acavna and Amaznen did not cause the death of all life on Golarion.
 
Acavna's corpse plummeted into the site of an abandoned Celwynvian observatory, obliterating the structure and penetrating deep into the planet's crust. The Mordant Spire rose from her grave, formed from the essence of her soul as it attempted to reach Pharasma's Boneyard. The elves who currently inhabit the spire are said to be able to hear the whispers of Acavna even now, thousands of years after her death.
 
After her death, her former herald Shieldwarden Olhondias used parts of her planar realm to shore up the refuge for outcast outsiders, Basrakal, in the Maelstrom.
