Lore & Background
Angela is the princess of the magic kingdom of Altena, a land steeped in arcane tradition. Unlike warriors who rely on swords or faith, her path is defined by her mastery of elemental and arcane magic. Her story begins when she is exiled by her mother, the corrupted Queen of Altena, and she seeks to reclaim her kingdom and break the queen's dark influence. Throughout the conflict with the Dark Lord, she represents the power of magic and determination, not holy light or angelic duty.
In Their Own Story
The wind howled through the ruins of Ferolia, carrying whispers of ancient prayers. Angela stood atop the crumbling spire, her sword glowing with a soft, ethereal blue light. Below, shadows crept like ink in water, but she did not falter. The angels watched from above, silent guardians waiting for her command to strike.
