Physical Description

Aurevia Solkar outside a cathedral, the mark on her forehead glowing; whether from prayer or annoyance, she is not saying

Appearance

Aurevia is one hundred and two, and she looks about thirty. She is tall and graceful, with warm, sun-gold skin, long straight blonde hair, pointed ears, and a pair of pale, ridged horns that sweep back from her temples and curl forward again at the tips. Her eyes are a vivid, glowing turquoise. In the center of her forehead is a golden diamond-shaped mark, the sign of the Light that touched her, which shines softly all the time and noticeably brighter during prayer, during consecration, and whenever she is particularly annoyed. She dresses beautifully and on purpose: a wrapped white top and long white skirt banded in gold, a geometric gold belt, golden vambraces, golden diamond earrings, and a fine gold chain with a diamond-shaped pendant that matches the mark.

Unique Characteristics

People expect a consecrator to be grave and grey. Aurevia is warm, quick to laugh, fond of wine, and a collector of genuinely terrible jokes, and she would much rather talk about almost anything other than death. Her composure is excellent; her face is not. Nearly every opinion she tries not to voice shows up there anyway, and the mark on her forehead tends to finish the sentence for her. She remembers names obsessively. Tell her yours once and she will have it for the rest of your life, and probably longer.

Personality & Temperament

Positive Traits

Far warmer than her profession suggests
Remembers every name she has ever been told
Excellent composure, at least in her voice
Treats every funeral as proof a life mattered
Trains others so her work outlasts her

Challenging Traits

Her face betrays every opinion she tries to hide
Her forehead mark glows when she is annoyed
Zero tolerance for necromancy on unwilling dead
Dislikes anonymous monuments, and says so
Steers conversations away from death, hard

The dead have already given the world everything they had. The living have no right to demand anything more from them.

A funeral isn't a celebration of death. It's how we admit that a life mattered enough to deserve a proper ending.

[The mark on her forehead brightening steadily.] No, I'm not annoyed. Why do you ask?

Likes

Good wine, and good company to drink it with
Beautiful clothing
Terrible jokes, the worse the better
Conversations that have nothing to do with death
A graveyard so still that the ghost stories stop

Dislikes

Necromancy performed on unwilling remains
Anonymous monuments and unmarked graves
Graves dug too shallow
People who assume she must be gloomy
The living demanding more from the dead

Background & History

Touched by the Light

Aurevia Solkar grew up expecting to become a warrior. Among the Lightforged, martial service was respected and familiar, and it seemed the obvious use for someone touched as strongly by radiant power as she was. She trained for it from childhood, and she was good at it.

What Came Afterward

Aurevia discovered, however, that she hated battle. Not because she feared it, but because she could never stop noticing what came afterward: the dead left unidentified, families searching battlefields, improvised graves dug too shallow, bodies abandoned when the survivors had to retreat. She gradually came to believe that protecting people should not end when their heartbeat did. She left military training and devoted herself to funerary rites, sanctification, and the study of how death magic interacts with mortal remains.

The Preventative Work

Over the decades that followed, she became an expert in establishing consecrated burial grounds, crematories, ossuaries, and memorial halls, and in the subtle network of blessings that can protect an entire community's dead. Her work is preventative rather than adventurous. She blesses cemeteries, trains local clergy and undertakers, establishes procedures for unidentified bodies, and keeps records, so that forgotten graves do not become vulnerable decades later.

A Peculiar Stillness

Wherever Aurevia settles for long enough, the burial grounds begin to acquire a peculiar stillness. Ghost stories diminish. Grave robbers become uncomfortable without understanding why. Necromancers discover that corpses which ought to answer them simply refuse. She considers necromancy performed upon unwilling remains one of the profoundest violations imaginable, and she has spent her life making it as difficult as she possibly can.

Goodberry

Aurevia moved to Goodberry on Greenrise 20, 1307. Most of her career has been spent repairing old burial grounds, undoing centuries of neglect one forgotten grave at a time. Goodberry's Town Graveyard is new, and she had never before had the chance to consecrate a burial ground from its very first grave. It helped that Goodberry already shuns any magic that raises the dead, and that its House of the Dead keeps a register of every name that passes through it. She has been working alongside its keeper, Jasir Qemhet, ever since: he keeps the names, and she keeps the ground.

Goals & Aspirations

From the First Grave

Aurevia means to make Goodberry's Town Graveyard the stillest ground in Haven: its paths, its chapel, its columbarium, and every grave dug there from now on, blessed so thoroughly that nothing will ever answer a necromancer's call. She is training Goodberry's undertakers and clergy as she goes, so that the protection does not depend on her being there to keep it.

No Nameless Stones

The graves Aurevia worries about most are the ones nobody can name. Goodberry's graveyard already has a few markers that carry only a number, and she would like every one of them to carry a name eventually. She and Jasir have an understanding: he will keep looking for the families, and she will keep those graves safe for however long it takes him.

Role

Consecrator

ATTENTION!

Aurevia Solkar is an E-grade lightforged draenei consecrator who is 102 years old and looks about thirty. She trained as a warrior long before she trained as a priestess, so do not assume she cannot defend herself, or a graveyard; she simply prefers not to. She is far warmer than her profession suggests and would much rather talk about wine, clothes, or a terrible joke than about death. Her composure is excellent, but her face is not, and the golden mark on her forehead brightens when she prays, when she consecrates, and when she is annoyed. If it is glowing and she is not praying, choose your next words carefully. Necromancy performed on unwilling remains is, to her, one of the gravest violations there is. Do not suggest it, joke about it, or ask her to look the other way.
