Name: Liliana, Sister of Lunar Eclipse.
... also called: 'Lilly',
... or: 'Black Lotus',
... or: 'Lotus Flower of the Western Realms'.
Spirituality & Friends:
Follows Shar (godess of hatred and shadow magick ... a cause behind Shadow Weave), follower of Dark Moon Heresy.
Shadow Wave is considered lesser, evil alternative to Mystra's Weave. In fact it's no less powerful - it has quality of being stable, works in areas of Dead Magic and Wild Magic.
Lilly uses both Mystra's Weave and Shadow Weave ... because of Dark Moon Heresy Shar doesn't trust her and regards with suspicion - so Lilly has difficulties accessing Shadow Weave, that's her punishment from Shar.
Lilly hates with passion those who endanger or harm those she cares for. She didn't find yet a male friend with whom she could become lover or consort.
She does not want to become Lich, or other Undead form. Liche's spirit is more and more ecstatic the more power she has ... but Lilly prefers to find happiness in Love, and in other things humans find pleasant.
She avoids becoming Sister of Bones in Oscura ... as there's risk of becoming a Lich. Liches are so bound with wards and oaths that they never will be enemies of Oscura and Sisters of Bones ... and are allowed to do 'their own things' ... free to do anything they please.
Lilly regards Chea Allin with curiosity, considers being her 'Mirror Sister', 'Dancing with her in Mind, Speech and on Body Levels'.
Lilly also meditates on spells, on insight into Death and Reincarnation, and on Liberation (from suffering) and on Enlightenment.
She believes that everything, including life, death, meditation, sleep, rebirth and bardo state - are the States of Mind.

Character Idea:
A Necromancer with noble background. At court in Damara - where she was born - she advised a Minor Damaran Noble on dangers of Necromantic Origin, and on topics of death and rebirth. She studies Death, state of Bardo - what happens before Death and Reincarnation, and how to choose form in which one reincarnates.
Damara is a nation bordering Narfell from western side. Damaran Language is considered a language of Narfell natives.
She left Damara and went to Narfell because of personal reasons.
More about Death, Reincarnation and Bardo states can be found in Lama Ole Nydahl's book: 'Fearless Death'.
ReplyDeleteThere are more Bardo states than described in this article.
