Iron Swan
Iron Swan
The Iron Swan, head of the Order of Swan Mays and trusted companion of the Swan Queen of the Court of Brook and Bawn, is a figure of strength and grace. As both a military advisor and a paladin of considerable power, she embodies the perfect balance between elegance and martial prowess, a living symbol of the Swan Queen’s ideals of beauty and order tempered by unyielding strength.
Her human form is striking, her beauty regal and commanding. She has long, flowing white hair that cascades down her back like a river of pure light, often tied with delicate silver bands that glimmer faintly. Her skin is pale and flawless, with a soft glow that hints at her connection to the fey and the divine. Her eyes, an intense icy blue, seem to pierce through to the soul, filled with the wisdom and resolve of a seasoned leader. Though beautiful, her bearing is anything but soft—there is an unmistakable edge to her, a fierceness that speaks to her role as a defender and warrior.
The Iron Swan wears magnificent heavy armor crafted by the finest fey smiths, a masterpiece of form and function. The gleaming silvery plates are engraved with intricate patterns of feathers and rippling water, evoking the grace of a swan even in the midst of battle. The armor’s design accentuates her movements, each piece flowing seamlessly into the next, as if it were an extension of her own body. Upon her shoulders rests a cloak of pure white feathers, enchanted to billow dramatically even in still air, marking her as both protector and symbol of the Swan Queen’s majesty.
Her weapon of choice is a greatsword named Cygnis, forged in the heart of a fey-blessed star. Its blade shimmers like moonlight on water, and it carries an enchantment that allows it to strike with the force of a tidal wave or with the precision of a falling feather. When she wields it, her strikes are as devastating as they are beautiful, a dance of death that leaves friend and foe alike in awe.
In her swan form, the Iron Swan is equally breathtaking—a massive white swan with feathers as pristine as fresh snow, her eyes retaining their piercing blue gaze. This form allows her to traverse both air and water with unmatched grace, her powerful wings carrying her into battle or over the tranquil waters of her queen’s realm.
As the head of the Order of Swan Mays, she commands immense respect among her peers and subordinates, her leadership defined by discipline, courage, and loyalty. She trains her knights with an exacting hand, ensuring that they are as graceful in court as they are deadly in combat. To those who serve under her, she is both a paragon and a mentor, fierce in her expectations but unwavering in her dedication to their growth.
Her bond with the Swan Queen is one of mutual trust and reverence. Though she serves as an advisor and military leader, the Iron Swan also acts as a confidant, offering counsel not only in matters of war but also in the more delicate affairs of the court. Her loyalty to the Swan Queen is absolute, and she would lay down her life without hesitation to protect her or the Court of Brook and Bawn.
The Iron Swan’s presence in battle is both terrifying and inspiring. She moves with the fluidity of a swan gliding across water, yet her strikes land with the force of a hurricane. To witness her in action is to understand the unity of beauty and power, a reminder of the Swan Queen’s dominion over grace and ferocity alike. The Iron Swan is more than a warrior or advisor—she is the embodiment of the Court’s ideals and a shining example of the strength found in loyalty and purpose.
