Oria, Eyes of Amber
A powerful Lieutenant of the Queen of Air and Darkness, Oria is a conduit for the magic of the Stellar Matron, the eldest of the archangels. Having traveled for entire lifetimes seeking a way to free her mother from captivity, she has pledged her service to the Queen of Air and Darkness as the most likely avenue towards fulfilling that end. Once, Oria was kind and generous towards all, no more willing to harm a creature than cut off her own arm. But centuries of separation from her mother have resulted in a desperation that causes her to commit acts that would never have crossed her mind before. She has great doubts about the mortality and intentions of the Queen, but all of that is secondary to the goal of freeing her mother. Thus she now acts as the Queens greatest agent on the material plane, as she can manage to blend in where the power of an archfey would act as a beacon.
Oria is a tall satyr with a flowing tan robe, all along this robe are golden stars, in constellations that she was once shown by her mother. Her antlers are long and slightly curled back. She has fair skin with a tawny complexion in her build which is much brawnier than would be expected. She carries a wooden staff that was forged and invested with her own divine power. Her eyes shine with amber, as forever in her vision is burnt the imprisoned form of her mother.

Personal history
In her early years, Oria was a satyr child to loving parents, though she no longer remembers them. Her parents died early on, their eternal existences cut short at the blade of marauding fey, the early followers of Maruvir. She wandered for a bit, eventually finding herself in the care of the Stellar Matron, eldest and most powerful of the archangels. The matron was kind to her in her youth, taking great joy in teaching Oria everything there was to know about the world. As Oria grew older, she wished to explore and see these parts of the world that she had heard about from her mother. Fearing for her safety, the matron bestowed upon her a link to her own power, allowing Oria to draw from it. Armed with tremendous divine power, Oria wandered the expanse of the feywild and beyond, telling tales of her great mother whom she loved very much. It was from this that the following sorrounding the Matron slowly started to grow and people began journeying to see her and ask her for for favors or boons. Oria received all of these visitors, choosing which ones she would bless, which ones she would turn away and which ones that she would allow through to see her mother.
Oria was there when her mother was assailed by ritual magic conjured by Titania and Maruvir to bind her. She watched by in horrow as her mother was turned to amber and imprisoned. When Titania came to retrieve her, Oria confronted her, wielding the might of the Stellar Matron as though it were her own. But her power was not enough, and though she was prepared to hold the line to the death, her mother used the last vestiges of her power to shunt her away to safety. From here, Oria wandered for centuries searching for a way to save her mother. The gods could not help, for they had retreated from the mortal planes. Barring them, the mightiest beings from the realm of mortals were the archfey, and she found none willing to help oppose Titania. Thus she wasted away, never giving up hope even as her search brought her further and further away from home. Finally, she returned to learn of a revolution that had occured in the feywild. Though the Queen of Air and Darkness had lost, her cause presented a potential ally in her search. Thus Oria presented herself before the queen with her plea. The queen presented her a deal, pledging that she would free the matron in return for the loyalty of Oria in the war that would lead up to it. Oria agreed immediately, and has since risen to become one of the most trusted Lieutenants of the Queen. In this time she has raised a fair following among the disciples of the queen in the worship of who they call the Matron in Amber, though their worship contradicts much of the beliefs of the matron herself. Oria sees and recognizes all of this, but she doesn't dare rock the boat and risk ruining her best chance to free her mother from captivity.
