Darra Venst
Darra Venst is the uncompromising leader of The Pillars, a faction dedicated to "restoring" the traditions of Awarth. Born into a blacksmithing family in Smokestone, Darra turned to the Pillars after the death of her husband in a factory explosion—a tragedy she sees as emblematic of the city’s moral and industrial decay. Her workshop in The Anvil Cathedral serves as both a functional forge and the faction’s nerve center, where she shapes not only steel but the ideology that drives her followers.
Darra is a commanding presence, blending stern maternal care with a fanatical devotion to her cause. Her speeches resonate with those disillusioned by Awarth’s industrial chaos, offering a vision of unity through discipline and tradition. Beneath her calm, authoritative demeanor lies a master manipulator. She binds her followers with oaths of loyalty and crafts propaganda that reinforces the Pillars’ narrative, positioning herself as the savior of Awarth’s cultural identity.
As leader, Darra enforces a strict hierarchy, rewarding devotion and crushing dissent. Her tools and weapons, stamped with the Pillars’ crest, are not just merchandise but symbols of the future she seeks to forge: an Awarth reforged in the image of its idealized past, under her unwavering rule.
