Overview
Born in Onsal Hakair to Temulun, she was fated to one day venture far beyond the Azim Steppe. This journey was meant to be taken alongside her brother. However, in the days leading up to their departure there was a shift in the wind which divided their paths.She found her way to the Dravanian Hinterlands in the company of the Hotgo. There, she began her own pursuit of endless knowledge within the stacks of The Great Gubal Library.

She was a witness to the Hotgo's attempt at summoning Alexander the Creator and all the events that followed. She is in possession of a personally annotated duplicate of The Enigma Codex which chronicles the paradox. She's a woman with a keen memory and a habit of documenting everything in her fieldnotes.Herald
As the daughter the Ugdan, she is a devout servant to the Elder Gods. Her faith always guides her decisions and judgement.Constellation
Ursa Major resides in the Northern Sky. Because of its location, its brightest asterisms can be used to guide any traveler North. Like the constellation she was named for, Ursa is an excellent travel aid and companion.Feline Familiar and Hearts of Stone
The clockwork couerl known as "Shanoa" is kept in Ursa's care following the Warrior of Light's encounter with Alexander the Creator. Shanoa is one of many mechanical marvels that belong to her. Ursa is fascinated by the animation of inanimate things and has familiarized herself with many methods and applications. Aetherology, golemancy, soulkin, and voidsent are subjects that largely revolve around her research.Weakness
Despite Ursa's magical knowledge being vast and constantly expanding, she is relatively mediocre in practice. Because of her odd sleep habits, her body rarely receives enough rest to replenish its aether properly. Between this and her experimental approach, her magic is weak and, at times, unstable.
I don't normally roleplay, but I also don't mind partaking in casual in-character conversation. The purpose of this carrd is primarily to compile lore and information so that it is readily available to anyone who is interested in learning more about my non-WOL OC.
Upper La Noscea
Bronze Lake is a puddle. I see the water level climb up the sides of cliffs as Thalik tips his ewer. The eastward tide separates Oschon from Llymlaen. The Wanderer and the Navigator are both forces guided by wind– the element that is so corrupted here that the ruins of the once great city state now grazes the clouds. The air is the same as the water here. The wind arrives from the west as whistles that pass through the fragments of bridges and great archways like the melodies of Ceol Aen. It only causes me to wonder if I have navigated here only to be invited to wander.I have made a new friend. He confirmed the volume I thought I’d come here for is elsewhere. For now the gap in our collection can be filled with his personal findings on healing potencies of aetheric companions and his own recollections of two navel strategies used in the War of the Magi.Nymian lamp oil: 3 vials, may return for more but depleting the Wanderer’s Palace’s supply of it is not ideal.
