Vesha of the Ember Brand
She sees weakness in ash and sanctifies through flame — the world isn't clean until it's burned.
Name: Vesha of the Ember Brand
Race: Human
Class/Role: Cult Leader / Flame Priestess
Appearance: Vesha is tall, lithe, and guarded by ritual scars shaped like embers across her arms and chest. Her head is shaved, revealing flame-runed tattoos. She wears crimson robes edged with soot and a heavy iron brand—an ember-warmed symbol of her faith—that she presses to recruit converts. Molten veins seem to pulse beneath her skin, and hot perfumed smoke curls from her breath. In her hands is a censer filled with ember dust, flickering with micro‑flames.
Backstory
Vesha once served as a temple acolyte to a fire god. Disillusioned when aid was given to the innocent rather than enforcing divine judgment, she fled and formed the Emberbrand, a cult devoted to purifying the unworthy in flame. She preaches that civilization’s sins must be burned to smoldering ruin. Her cultists march into towns offering salvation—or scorch them if refused. She seeks the Cinderling, a prophesied child born of fire, to lead her new empire through eternal purification.
