Story

Picking up a gun dropped by one of the hired locals who'd ran at the first sign of trouble she attempted to defend the group - with predictable results. The last thing she remembered of her pre-exaltation life was lying in a world of pain, crumpled against the wall as her life's blood poured out.

When she awoke from her dream she found her body and mind reworked by the the arcane technology of the Tomb-Stars and a new name - the Alabaster Dream of the Darkened Radiant. Swearing her loyalty to the Tomb-Star that called itself simply The Eschaton she became a Dark Soldier.

For years she laboured alongside and learned from the experienced Abyssal, Serene Mask of Purest Ruin.
