Lyria Alkoharra is a Dispater Tiefling. Her dark, bluish grey skin and Violet eyes are almost as striking as the cracked and crooked ebony-purple horns on her head. The left horn twists backward while the right has a notable upward kink to it. Her hair is dark navy blue and she prefers dark silver halfplate adorned with amethysts Lyria was a Paladin who took the oath of the crown, her loyalty sworn to a human nobleman named Lord Mirius Alba and his wife, Lady Caltera Alba. She served loyally both as a guard and a Marine captain for several years, and was rather familiar with the courtiers of Scornubel as a result, but Lord Mirius became somewhat attached to her. It began simple, longing glances, quiet invitations, slight special treatment… but quickly the advances became mutual, and as her love for Mirius grew, she began to notice Caltera was not the doting wife she portayed herself as. See Caltera was in fact a green Hag, and it was not long at all before she caught on to her “husband” and his knight. But because of Lyria’s oath she could not raise steel against the Hag without breaking her own oath… and Caltera couldn’t do away with Lyria without alerting Mirius. The tensions came to a head when Caltera spirited away Lyria’s beloved pet mastiff, and Lyria struck out at last… Oath broken, Caltera dead, and Lyria badly hurt from the altercation Mirius tried to protect her but there was only so much a lower noble could do for the tiefling… so he made a choice. Using one of Caltera’s own artifacts as a focus, a Cursed Choker, he implored Lyria to form a pact with the trapped devilish entity within, and use it’s power to free herself. With her newfound abilities as a hexblade warlock and her paladin training Lyria fled Scornubel, disguising herself as a human beggar she made it all the way to waterdeep, and set about building herself a new life, new adventures, and seeking to eventually forge a new oath and return to her lord not as the disgraced oathbreaker, but as a hero, and guardian. Lyria favors a spear for most proper engagements, but her true strength lies in her longsword, paired with a shield or simply on it’s own the divine smites and elegant swordplay are a wonder to behold, almost dancelike due to her patron’s blessings empowering it with her Charisma, and at a range she can unleash vicious eldritch blasts to ensure her enemy is always within reach. Her defenses are strong thanks to halfplate and shield, and she is above all else a people pleaser. Beautiful and valiant in spite of scars and pain she leads, inspires, and enthralls with ease. She has a weakness for booze and her sense of self worth can be fragile, but she’s ever-reliable and strong
