Nia, Maverick of Elysia

Lore

The Elysian mage guild "Light of the Grand" has produced a number of famous alumni, among them the legendary Time-Weaver, Elaina. However, historians point out a lesser known student who played an important role in Elaina's miraculous escape from the rifts of another world—the intrepid young sorceress Nia, the Maverick of Elysia. Orphaned at an early age by a terminally ill mother and a heartbroken father, Nia was taken in by the guild, and displayed a knack for sigil-based sorcery. It was there that she met her beloved mentor and friend, Elaina, with whom she shared many evenings poring over arcane texts and theories. When Elaina was abducted through a rift by a crazed demigod from another world, Nia leapt to her aid. Although her talents did not extend to time manipulation, she was able to harness her mastery over sigils to track magical auras through space. There, flickering in the crumbling ruins of the demigod's world, was Elaina. There has been much debate among the scholars over the exact turn of events. Some postulated that Nia was able to reopen the rift by manipulating its trace energies, but others staunchly defend their opinion that she received aid from dimension-hopping travelers. It is said, however, that when they finally returned to Elysia, all who were involved in the daring rescue gradually lost every trace of their memory regarding the incident—including the Time-Weaver herself.
