Raena Skyring
Grand Marshal of the Lapis Wolves
You would speak ill of the Chapter Master of the Lapis Wolves? In my presence? Know that justice for your heresy will be dealt out swiftly. Flee, or face down your judgment. Mine will be more merciful than his.- Grand Marshal Raena Skyring, to goblinkin forces occupying Morrgys.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Raena Skyring is an exceptional example of goliath physical power. Every inch of her body has been honed for combat, and her mind is focused fervently on duty and honor.
Body Features
Like most goliaths, Skyring is possessed of grey, stone-like skin, tattooed with her herd's markings, and also marks indicating her personal achievements. Also typical of most goliaths, she has no hair.
Facial Features
Skyring's face is home to surprisingly soft features, contrasting sharply with the remainder of her form and, of course, her manner.
Identifying Characteristics
Skyring's herd tattoos are reminiscent of a tiger's stripes, striping her head and pointing towards her eyes. She also bears the brand of Conquest, typical of paladins of her oath, on her left upper arm.
Special abilities
As a paladin, Raena Skyring has access to various divine magicks.
Apparel & Accessories
Skyring is seen almost exclusively wearing heavy plate armor designed specifically for her in her role as Grand Marshal. The matching tabard is silk and colored blue and silver in the heraldry of the Lapis Wolves.
Specialized Equipment
Raena Skyring carries an elaborate halberd which is presumed to be magical.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
It is certain that one as powerful and skilled as Raena Skyring has led an interesting life, worthy of song. However, she is completely disinterested in relaying it and, so, much of her history, and even her age, is known only to her and her characteristically tight-lipped goliath herd. She has been asked by bards, specifically for the purpose of putting her tale to song. Her only response was to look mildly offended and dismiss them.

Education
Raena Skyring has no formal academic education, but was trained in survival by her herd in World Top. She was also trained in combat by her tribe and then, later, by the Chapter Master of the Lapis Wolves.
Employment
The Grand Marshal held no formal employment prior to her enlistment with the Lapis Wolves.
Accomplishments & Achievements
While her battlefield victories are numerous and noteworthy, perhaps her most notable achievement is her ongoing temperance of Chapter Master Egrud Goreclaw.
Morality & Philosophy
Raena Skyring abides strictly by the tenets of the paladin Oath of Conquest, which are branded onto her upper left arm:
Douse the Flame of Hope. It is not enough to merely defeat an enemy in battle. Your victory must be so overwhelming that your enemies’ will to fight is shattered forever. A blade can end a life. Fear can end an empire.
Rule with an Iron Fist. Once you have conquered, tolerate no dissent. Your word is law. Those who obey it shall be favored. Those who defy it shall be punished as an example to all who might follow.
Strength Above All. You shall rule until a stronger one arises. Then you must grow mightier and meet the challenge, or fall to your own ruin.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Raena is very public about her desire to grow strong enough to take on the role of Chapter Master of the Lapis Wolves.

Skyring is a devout worshipper of Ao, exemplifying more His lawful neutral nature than most of the Empire.
