Legends of Belariath

Verinnia

The story of Verinnia begins deep within the Nethergloom, cloistered away from the surface world and its grand Empire.

Born among her people in their subterranean homeland, Verinnia is the third daughter to a family she no longer considers her own. At a young age she was introduced to the worship of Kirva, for whom she never sincerely developed an emotional connection. It was under the service of Kirva's clergy Verinnia was taught the basics of the Cleric's trade, and it was here that she was instilled with a knowledge and love of the harsher side of sex.

Three years ago her life had a very drastic and sudden change when Ishtar came to her in a dream. Called to serve and filled with a sense of purpose she had never known but always wanted, she left the cities of the Moriel forever. To hear her tell it, Verinnia fully believes that The Goddess personally guided her escape, her journey from the depths of the Nethergloom, and ultimately her travel on the surface that ended with her arrival into The Empire.

Upon her formal arrival to The Empire, she sought out the Temple of Ishtar and has remained a dedicated servant of The Goddess ever since. To this day she resides within The Empire and serves Ishtar at Her Temple not far from the lonely inn.
