Tierra Description – In the Future

by Kevin Hines

Firstly her name is Tierra. Two Rs. I know that is Spanish for earth, that was deliberate. After all she worshipped Grumbar early on. And was raised underground, and was likely named by the knights that rescued her.

Again I always regretted the decision I made at the end of the epilogue campaign we did, where Tierra was offered to be made into an angel. I realized afterwards I was caught up in the moment, and I think she would have politely refused. She could do more good on earth. So my description of her is as a non-angel cause that is how I picture her. But if she is an angel, she likely still acts very similar to the following.

If she is still human, she likely still rides her Unicorn. I forget his/her name. It may have been Viento, going with the Spanish theme, but maybe Aira would be better. I think that is it Italian.

Also, I would like her to have a band of soldiers. Not followers so much as keepers of the faith. All women fighters. Valkyrie of a sort.

Obviously she is always beautiful, I mean come on. This is Tierra. She is like Michelle Pfeiffer, she always looks good. But lets go into a little detail.

The key to Tierra is earthen tones.

Brown hair. Not blonde. Brown Eyes. Not Blue.

Her Long Brown Hair seemingly glows. Her face is unblemished despite the harsh battles she has been in. Her face is soft when in conversation, but can be menacing with anger when needed. She can do it all emotion-wise.

She wears rose petal shaped armor. She used to be able to generate this from her sword. She may have lost this ability after the campaign, and if so, I think Galen would have commissioned a real armor version of that petal armor to be made. It would have a pinkish hue, though lightly, as it is more metallic then pink. She wears a brown cloak with a small symbol of Rowan used as a clasp. Attached to her belt (as a clasp for the belt perhaps) is a symbol of Grumbar, who likely still feels scorned, but he still is remembered in Tierra's heart. Its not often (if ever) that Grumbar and Rowan intersect.

If she still has the holy symbol (Leur Talisman) and ivory and ebony sword (I forget the name of the combined sword), then she also has those. The Holy Symbol she would wear underneath her shirt. Not showing it off. And the sword is sheathed on her side.

If for some reason she no longer has those artifacts, she would have a necklace of Rowan crafted in Barovia in place of the Leur. Also, for a sword, that would be simple. No frills. None. It would be quality, high quality, but nothing as elaborate as her armor. Which she wears more to inspire and is actually a bit uncomfortable with. Not that her lack of comfort shows. She has grown into her leadership, at least on battlefields.

She has tattered wrappings for gloves on both her hands. No finger coverings, and you might not even notice them if you were not studying her very closely. These are the only remains of her adventuring outfit.

Also on her off-hand (left) she wears a bracer. The bracer has a series of images engraved on it.

At the top (closest to her hand) is a wolf's head. Next is the symbol of the Rune college (I assume it had a symbol). Then a tree.

Obviously these represent Galen, Perrin and Daryuun (Andy,Adam, and Ferd). Hellez and Kartus (Wookie and BigKev) are not represented because they both betrayed her trust with their allegiances.
