Editing Forgotten Kingdoms, Fallen Lands: Adara

Adara is a character from [[Forgotten Kingdoms, Fallen Lands]], played by Kath.

=Character Summary=

Adara was once an angel, and a servent of Erathis in the Dawn War. She chose to take mortal shape for two reasons - firstly, she was impressed by the valour shown by the mortal soldiers of Erathis and wished to emulate them. Secondly, since the end of the war, she found herself without purpose and decide to embrace the conflicts so numerous to the mortal coil.

Adara has since lost count of the number of times she has incarnated. This hasn't been helped by the fact that the distinction between her different incarnation has become ... blurry. At times, Adara finds herself regressing to different personas from different times. While this produces the occasionally useful flash of historical knowledge, it also leaves her confused and uncertain of wether or not what she's currently experiencing is real or just a memory, or if she's really herself, or an echo of a former self. While once she was certain and resolute, this blurring has weakened that part of her, as has greater experience with the challenges faced by mortals and the strengths and weaknesses they possess.

Adara's latest incarnation is from the future of the Nentir Vale, about 100 years ahead of the default timeline. Her most notable incarnations include:
* Iskal - her first incarnation, a bold woman convinced of her own righteousness and determined to help build the greatest civilisation ever known.
* Wenana - is from the apocalypse that marked the end of both Arkhosia and Bael Turoth. She is consumed by regret and despair at all she has seen, as she remembers encouraging Akhosia to march to war.
* Yasah - walked the world after the fall of Nerath, about the time of the default setting. She was determined to make sure the last points of light were not lost to the darkness.

Adara is tall and slim, as deva often are. Her skin is a dark blue colour, marked out with pale grey patches.
