Kieyra
Kieyra was one of the first consorts encountered by Shaedan, the third one in number. You first met her in the city of Aerele, the capital of the Duchy of Diemed, naked (with the Mark visible) and bound upon a great pyre. It seemed that she had some secret taint that the locals had taken offence to. Apparently she had fled from Ilien some years before, trying to escape that same fate, but her blood finally caught up with her. Demanding her execution stopped, you brought the matter up with the Lord Inquisitor Kermin. What right did the Inquisition have to interfere with the Dragonmarked? Eventually what could have been an opportunity for bad blood between the Order and the Inquisition turned into something good, as Kermin and Shaedan reached an understanding. That understanding would later come close to friendship, and when Kermin became the head of the Inquisition, he became a vital instrument in the fight against the Shadow.
Kieyra has a body to die for; slender and curvaceous in exactly the right places, full breasts and rounded hips yet slender of leg and waist, hard and soft at the same time, with an alluring combination of pale skin and dark hair and eyes. She dresses to enhance her attributes, always wearing garments that are too tight or too revealing for propriety. Moreover she has an attitude to go with her looks, constantly flirtatious and seductive, yet so very cold and unattainable. It is sad that no man can watch her go past without casting a glance at her.
Kieyra usually affects an aura of distance and is quick to lash out verbally against those that come too close for comfort. She is on fairly good terms with the other Consorts, but the only person with whom she is intimate is Shaedan. Beneath the surface Kieyra has an ironic and biting sense of humour and secret pride and trust in Shaedan and the Consorts.
Details about Kieyra’s ancestry are not known; not to her, Saedan or anyone else. What is known is that she carries fiendish blood in her veins, most likely demonic. In reality Kieyra is descended from male incubi that passed as one of the Sworn Lovers – two mages that operated in Osoerde several centuries ago. Kieyra’s father is an unknown and her mother was a woman of the streets in Ilien (she died when Kieyra was young).
Kieyra wasn’t very pleased to be Dragonmarked – she railed and accused, and then railed some more. She was pleased to be alive and free, but not exactly thankful either. Indeed, she tested Shaedan’s patience to the limit and beyond many times. Yet in time she came to embrace the changes and her new life, finding a new purpose in the study of the arcane arts and unravelling the weaknesses of the Shadow. Kieyra spends most of her time at court, either in the presence of Shaedan (who seems to spend at least half his nights with her) or busy with her studies.
Kieyra is possibly the consort you are most intimate and connected to. For some strange reason you are irresistibly attracted to her dark and mysterious ways, her haughty bearing, harsh words, and sometimes near-treasonous behaviours. You’ve tried to deny the attraction, but there must be some reason why you spend so much time with her in your chambers and why it is usually she that accompanies you on your travels.
Capabilities: Kieyra was accomplished as a rogue when Shaedan rescued her from the clutches of the Inquisition and continued to gain somewhat in skill within that area as the years went by. She has, however, focused her attention on the arcane and delved deeply into the mysteries of Knowing and Seeming (Divination and Illusion), going as far as experimenting with Shadow Mebhaighl. While not really a warrior, the mix of rogue skills, magic and draconic prowess makes Kieyra extremely lethal in certain situations.
