In the realm of Nirman, beneath star-swept skies and forgotten ruins, walks Yanes; a young halfling wizard with a quiet soul and a heart vast as the wildlands. She is small, soft-spoken, and steady; yet fierce in kindness. Where others turn away, she reaches out. Where the world grows cold, she brings warmth. Her journey is one of healing, of friendship, and of love—not always spoken, but deeply felt.
She will meet wanderers and warriors, the broken and the brave. She will offer her heart to many, but never lose herself. This is a story sketched in starlight and ink— of magic, mercy, and a girl who simply wants to help.
A map for a ring. A gesture for a bond. A spark in the shadows.
On her third Mage’s Guild quest, halfling wizard Yanes Antiaris nearly lost her life along with her new companions facing a towering 20-foot underdark worm. Then, with a single devastating strike, a vampire appeared and ended the beast. His name was Lord Dimitrieus Karv BloodAlpha, Head of one of the Nine Noble Vampire Houses of the Dark Domain.
As the others thank him one by one, Yanes waited until her time, stepped forward quietly. She thank him for saving her life and offered him something deeply personal: a hand-drawn map of her hometown—her most treasured creation. In return, he gave her a ring: gothic in style, graceful and feminine, set with a deep blood-rose jewel that pulsed faintly with magic.
Later that night, Yanes lay on her bed, raising her arm to the moonlight.
The ring fit perfectly on her right ring finger. She stared at it in awe—mesmerized by its beauty, and by the strange twist of fate that let her cross paths with a vampire so powerful… and so unexpectedly kind.
