What good could come from embracing the dark?
We found each other through brokenness and now look how strong we are.

x───────────➷────────── A half-elf born in a unremarkable village
within the Broken Woods, Tora spent her
early days exploring the very wilds most
children were told never to enter. The trees
became her home and sanctuary, despite
the dangers that lurked within. By some
miracle, harm never befell her during these
years; rumors began to sprout within the
town about the special child watched over
by the gods who was protected from all
evil. In reality, it was not the gods who
shielded her, but a great beast with a
bizarre connection to the girl. Tora went
unaware to the manticore's existence until
the night her village was raided. Everything
and everyone she had never known was
mercilessly destroyed by beastmen from
across the border. There was no warning
and they came in the night. The small town
of gatherers and craftspeople stood no
chance against the horde of brutal warriors.
Toralai cowered in a corner, only having
seen five years of life, watching as a savage
orc raised it's axe to strike. With her eyes
squeezed shut, she braced herself for the
strike that never game. A deep roar cut
through the air as a horrifying beast with
the body of a tiger, wings of a dragon, horns
of a stag, and a tail covered in poisoned
barbs dealt a swift blow to the orc. Toralai
locked eyes with the beast before it
bounded off, clearing a trail for the young
girl. He guided her to safety in a nearby
town then vanished for thirteen years.
Tora was eventually found by the Soulbound
after word of the manticore delivering her
to safety reached the capital. She was
brought in and given shelter, raised by the
order. When she came of age, she returned
to her village, only a pile of charred timber
and ash remained. The manticore stood on
the far end, watching as the girl entered.
Their eyes met and both stood frozen.
Tora slowly laid her greataxe upon the
ground and dropped to her knees in a great
bow. The bond was forged years ago but
that day it became unbreakable.
Many wonder just how Tora ended up a
member of such an elite guard. She is a
complete goofball. With unmatched
optimism and spirit, she doesn't quite fit
the stoic warrior role. Everything is a joke
to her and she's always ready to lighten the
mood. She trusts too easily and can be
a total scatter brain. Despite all this, she
is a strong warrior and places herself on
the front lines to defend her brethren from
harm. She will readily lay down her life to
protect those around her.

I refuse, I won't obey
Cause I see the game you play
And I'm here to take away your crown
───────────────────────────────────────────────────
There isn't much to say about Noxxis' past.
Manticores are solitary creatures that spend
as little time as possible with others of their
kind, even their own offspring. Once he was
able to hunt for himself, his mother flew off
and was never seen again. This was not a
tragedy, simply nature. Toralai provided a
strange connection, a deep seeded bond that
he couldn't really understand. He didn't know
what attachment felt like and never really
formed a friendship with anyone. Their
partnership leaves him rather unamused.
Though he would do anything to protect her,
he's not shy when it comes to voicing his
alleged annoyance. Tora is convinced,
however, that it is all an act and the tiger is
truly a big softy. Noxxis is nearly the
complete opposite of his human counterpart;
he trusts no one and hates just about
everything, except sweet pastries. He is a
beast of few words and exerts as little effort

as possible. Nox has never trusted the
crown and as the king's behavior changes,
he is the first to show concern.
In appearance, Noxxis sits at about ten
feet long and stands five feet tall at his
shoulder. His body is that of a sumataran
tiger with a bright orange, striped pelt to
match. Unlike a tiger, a thick white mane
encircles his neck and fades into the
orange of his pelt near his shoulders.
Upon his head are two branching antlers
like those of the sambar deer. From his
withers are two sinewy wings, pitch black
and clawed on the ends. His tail ends in
a heavy club, covered in venomous spines
which can be thrown like arrows. The
same spikes protrude from his spine and
elbows, though these cannot be thrown.
His bite is laced with the same venom.
The only antidote to a manticore's toxins
is the blood of the beast itself.
