Aulteste

Aulteste speaks to no one she doesn't wish to. Quiet, regal, and calm under the most intense of pressures, there's almost something otherworldly about the way she composes herself.  Still, she is curious and very sweet to those she finds interesting. Often confused by simple things and delighted to learn about them.

A bit of enigma, no one is quite sure how Aule is feeling at any point in time. She guards herself in layers of ice and steel, not letting anyone get too close, but stands close enough to say she hates being alone. A queen that can't be reached. 

In the high mountains of Eirbourne, towards the north and glacial areas of the continent, is a civilization of some of the most questionable Doggoons known to man. Living along the crest volcanic geysers, these doggoon hinge the worlds of the mountains and underground in power levels, varying greatly in strange and exotic ways. The city thrives in floating mountains, tethered in place by magic and is called Verschlerrei (or "Cloud Reach").

A mix of the weakest and most powerful types of magic in the species, doggoons in these floating ruins and glacial volcanoes can be extremely diverse. The mix of cold and hot causes some of the most seemingly random magical affinities, though most of the population is generally normal, comparable to that of the Steppes.

Aulteste is one such born with enough magical energy to level the entire civilization itself. As a child, she had the same magical grasp of a fully dedicated 300 year old mentor and her cloakie was fairly developed by the time she was only six. At the age of eight, it was found her pyre was larger, as it should be, but still too small to contain the amassed magical affinity she collected so quickly; they had very little choice but to seal some of her power away, closing her third eye in the process.

Born into a royal family of her area, and insanely powerful, it was no surprise she became some what a reclusive legend among the cityfolk. No one had ever seen her outside of royal affairs and events, but they all knew she existed. Accepted by the noble family of a neighboring civilization as the betrothed to their son, she was set to be married to the prince and become Queen. Unifying the two civilizations and establishing more resources for the Verschlerrei.

However, the prince of the neighboring region begged to be disinterested in the aristocratic ways of the Verschlerri Doggoons, and social war was waged between his father, the Vers, and himself to call off such an old fashioned, ridiculous arrangement. Even more oddly, Aulteste and her younger sister disappeared amidst the arguments. All the evidence found of them was a singular note for ransom, which upon investigation was discovered to be a hoax of some sort. No one came to the drop off point, and no further contact was ever made.

A report of Princess Herrlicha was made in a small coastal city most well known for trading, accompanied by a strange woman with an odd noble air about her. It cannot be confirmed if this person is in fact Princess Aulteste, but the knights of Vers continue their search for her.
