Backgrounds

Allies 1 (Beezelbub)

Silla's oldest friend, Beezelbub is a greedy little aalu who has always been willing to accept a little bribery to supplement his diet- a habit that got him into his current situation. He's been around since the First Age and got along well in Malfeas for years off the story of the time he ate an entire library that belonged to a Solar. He hasn't been summoned for more than a day or two since then, so until he ran away with Silla he was woefully behind the times. These days, Silla keeps him in a practical paradise for an aalu, feeding him students' papers to grade and bits of her own poetry as treats. In return, he helps her out here and there, often providing his fine paper-silk for Silla's transcription of books for her library.

Followers 2 (Enlightened Acolytes)

Asphodel, the Defining Acolyte

Silla's first acolyte, the extremely intelligent daughter of a Delzahn noble. Keen and ambitious, clearly hungers for an Exaltation herself. Was once a Dereth for the social standing aspects, but has abandoned that lifestyle since leaving Chiaroscuro. Was with Silla in Mahalanka.

Lamia the Iron Queen, the Warden Acolyte

Previously the leader of one of the Jackal Tribes, daughter of the god of the Diamond Road. Knows many secrets of the South from her wanderings.

Sudden Thunder, the Indulgent Acolyte

The finest mortal artist and poet in Marukan, a wandering bard with his faithful horse. Now married to Asphodel; a charming, outgoing man.

Fisher of Men, the Messenger Acolyte

A social worker from Great Forks, taught free literacy classes at the temple of his god. Evangelical about education, does administration.

Stargazer Shade, the Reflective Acolyte

A graduate of the Jade Sickle Academy of Husbandry from the Lap, an expert in genealogy and breeding. A patrician, too intelligent and too far in the Threshold to buy the Immaculate faith entirely. Interested in the origin of eight-tailed mole hounds.

Blood Runs Cold, the Expressive Acolyte

A retired gladiator from Gem, ran the best school for gladiators until Silla stole him away. An amateur philosopher and brutal fighter, a student of historical treatises on conflict.

Blind Thebe, the Acolyte of Wisdom

An old woman, a mortician wooed away from her Order in the interests of gaining favor with the Exalted. Has the collected wisdom of the dead.

Light of Hidden Flowers, the Constructive Acolyte

An innovative researcher, focuses on the application of knowledge. Travelled from the River Province to find Silla, an accomplished graduate of Nexus University who was exiled for prying into the Solar tombs. Specializes in enchantment and craft assistance- possibly helps Kimiko?

Library 5

This represents the recorded knowledge that Silla has collected over her years as an Exalt. It includes the best of the commonly-available tomes on a huge array of subjects, as well as a handful of extremely rare treatises. These include The Genesis of Heathen Ritual, from which Silla learned the majority of her thaumaturgy. Also present is a copy of The Black and White Treatise, as well as The Book of Bone and Ebony raided from a nephwrack's lair. Silla also has an impressive collection of editions of The Lover Clad in Blue, a little indulgence of hers. She has been on the lookout for a copy of The Broken-Winged Crane for some time, but at the moment only has fragments. Silla carries this impressive collection with her in Elsewhere, unfolding it into reality when she has the urge to study.
