Bee
Watcher of Astral Winds Bee Veylen Zhoraska
Bee is a Hadozee lookout aboard the Last Voyage, an astral ship that ferries the souls of fallen warriors to the afterlife. A skilled glider from the once-hidden monastery atop the Gargantuan Pinnacle, Bee met his end during Yeenoghu's cataclysmic assault on Skyhaven during the Second Pandora War. Even in death, Bee’s spirit remains bound to the skies, navigating the astral winds with the same agility he once displayed soaring the mountain updrafts. Perched eternally in the crow's nest, he serves as the ship's vigilant eyes, his keen sight scanning for danger across the shimmering seas of the Astral Plane.
Bee’s story is one of silent endurance and unshaken duty. Even in death, he continues his vigil, serving as a guiding wind for those embarking on their final journey. Though his past haunts him, Bee has found peace in his purpose aboard the Last Voyage, forever soaring the winds that once defined his life. His legacy endures not in monuments, but in the safety of those he helps ferry beyond the veil.
