Regina, Queen of Victory ((ree-gi-nah))
Goddess of War, Peace, Treaties, and Victory Regina Af Vertur- Hathiliara
"She flew on wings of silver thread, spear in hand and fiery head. She spoke in a voice both strong and calm, until the field stood still..." - Guntio Averend, poet and theologian.
When A feather from Hathiel dropped downwards towards the planes of good, the silver threads began to weave together into the form of a woman. Six elegant silver wings erupted from her back, four of which wrapped around her body encasing her in armor. A spear was made from the stem of the feather, and thus the first Valkyrie was born.
