Ahnah Taupek

Lady Ahnah Isapoinhkyaki Tapeesa Arnaaluk Taupek

Ahnah Taupek's journey into darkness began amidst the stone domes of Stonebridge, a city on the cusp of completion, where she honed her skills as a warrior and tactician. Born from the proud lineage of the Hiversteadians, Ahnah is a formidable force even among her peers, her martial prowess and tactical acumen setting her apart from the rest, but fate had other plans for Ahnah, as she was taken from her home mere months before Stonebridge's completion, abducted by the dark forces that sought to bend her will to their own. Embraced by Lady Aisling Riamh, Ahnah was reborn into the ranks of the coven, her strength and loyalty making her a formidable addition to their dark sisterhood.   As the commander of the coven's defenses, Ahnah remains steadfast in her devotion to Aisling, her unwavering loyalty driving her to protect their dark mistress at any cost. Possessing unmatched physical prowess, she stands as the most powerful member of the coven aside from Aisling herself, her skill in combat unmatched by any mortal or immortal alike.   Ahnah's unique approach to hunting that sets her apart from her sisters of the coven. Unlike the others, who relish in the tortured and merciless dispatch of their prey, Ahnah insists on giving her victims a fighting chance, often handicapping herself in some way to even the odds. This macabre form of entertainment has become a twisted spectacle within the coven, as mortals defend their lives against the relentless onslaught of Ahnah's prowess. Though few could hope to survive the duel against Ahnah, the coven as a whole revels in the opportunity to witness the desperation and ingenuity of their prey, always eager to see what feats of courage they attempt when faced with certain death. Ahnah leaves no room for mercy and despises the weak and cowardly, claiming that, "All are equal beneath the blade."

Personal history

Ahnah Taupek's story began in the turbulent era just before the Blight descended upon the world, a time of chaos and upheaval that would shape the course of her life in ways she could never have imagined. Born into the heart of the cataclysm, Ahnah came into the world amidst the chaos and destruction wrought by the Blight, her people struggling to survive in the face of overwhelming darkness. Raised in the midst of war, Ahnah's early years were defined by conflict and strife as her people fought fiercely for their independence from the oppressive rule of the Bechtlarite overlords. Trained from a young age in the art of war, Ahnah proved herself to be a formidable warrior, her skill and determination earning her a place among her people's elite fighting forces.   As her people pushed northward in search of sanctuary from the encroaching darkness, Ahnah played a pivotal role in the construction of Stonebridge, a symbol of Hiversteadian resilience and purpose amidst the desolation of the northern wastelands. Working tirelessly alongside her fellow warriors, she helped to forge a new home for her people from the frozen wilderness, her strength and resilience shining brightly in the face of adversity, but it was during this time of rebuilding that Ahnah's fate took a dark and twisted turn. Abducted by Lady Aisling Riamh, she fought fiercely against her captors, her indomitable spirit refusing to yield even in the face of overwhelming odds. Impressed by her strength and determination, Aisling saw in Ahnah a warrior whose loyalty and devotion could be bent to her own dark purposes, yet breaking Ahnah's will would prove to be no easy task. Despite the coven's best efforts to manipulate and control her, Ahnah remained defiant, her spirit unbroken by the dark forces that sought to corrupt her from within, but as the hunger gnawed at her soul and the darkness closed in around her, Ahnah found herself succumbing to the twisted machinations of her captors, her once noble heart twisted and corrupted by the relentless hunger for blood and control.   Ahnah Taupek, once a proud warrior fighting for the freedom of her people, emerged from the darkness as a servant of the coven, a loyal and unwavering enforcer of Lady Aisling's will, her strength and skill now wielded in service to a cause far darker than any she had known before.
