![[ReyaPic.png]] # Reya Mantlemorn _Human Hellrider | [[Hellriders]] | [[The Tumbledown]]_ ## Summary Young [[Hellriders|Hellrider]] who led the party's mission against [[Dead Three]] cultists. Witnessed [[Elturel]]'s fall from outside the walls. Helped expose [[Tarquin Belmont]]'s betrayal. Close friend of [[Lulu]] and protégé of [[Hilde Kaas]]. Currently with refugees at [[The Tumbledown]], suspicious that Duke [[Thalamra Vanthampur]] is using the party as pawns. %% ## At a Glance Twenty years old, brown skin, red hair. Well-maintained armor bearing [[Hellriders]] insignia. Confident bearing from eight years of training, though shadows have crept into eyes that used to shine with certainty. Touches her badge when speaking about duty. Frequently checks on others' wellbeing. Starting to question everything. The [[Creed Resolute]] she swore bound her soul to something she's only beginning to understand. When [[Thalamra Vanthampur]] directed the heroes toward [[Nysene Eomane]], [[Reya Mantlemorn|Reya]] immediately sensed political manipulation. Her desperation to return to [[Hilde Kaas]] drives her forward. ## Personality Perfectionist who over-prepares and second-guesses herself. Mother hen who fusses over everyone's needs. Professional but warm, fiercely protective of friends. Wants desperately to believe in something after watching her faith crumble—but hasn't yet learned to trust her own judgment. ## Quote _"Hilde always says preparation prevents poor performance, but... sometimes I wonder if we're preparing for the wrong things."_ ## Background **The Oath:** Trained under [[Hilde Kaas]]. Swore the [[Creed Resolute]] before [[Thavius Kreeg]], sealing her blood in the [[Tome of the Creed Resolute]]. Doesn't know the oath damned her bloodline to [[Zariel]]. **The Fall:** Was outside [[Elturel]] when it fell. Watched the [[Companion]] corrupt and the chains drag everything she loved into [[Hell]]. Screamed at an empty sky. **The Betrayal:** Discovering [[Tarquin Belmont]]'s corruption shattered her remaining certainties. Urged the party to take him alive, struggling to comprehend how any [[Hellriders|Hellrider]] could violate the [[Creed Resolute]]. ## Stats **Veteran** (MM 350). More experienced than typical guard. %%
