January 2023 Preview: Theia, The Astral Elf Bladesinger

Hey everyone,

The Anteokheia return with Theia, The Astral Elf Bladesinger!

Lore

The Anteokheia watch over the material plane as if Gods themselves. They willingly choose to not actively interfere as it was not the place of their Gods. If the people of Edyn would destroy the material plane, they must wipe the slate clean so the world can live on.

Not all share this view.

Theia of House Chimeris, one of The Greater Houses of Antioch and named after one of the Old Gods they once followed. The words of their House read as "All can live in harmony."

Theia has left her home in Antioch and adventures across Edyn. She seeks to understand the world her people protect and the people that inhabit it. If she can understand and prevent what leads the world to ruin, can she save the people destined for destruction? This has lead her to Edyn and researching the mysterious Aether Cores.

Throughout her travels, her strange style of clothes and mask are usual giveaways that she has travelled from a far away place. A select few would actually gather that she is from an entirely different plane of existence.

The pant legs of her body suit are adorned with little wrappings and trinkets she has gathered. Her clothes are filled with strange colours and patterns. What sticks out most is the mask she never takes off, as per Anteokheian culture.

What animal does the mask depict? Why must it depict one? Like Praetor Corvinus' mask depicts what most would assume is raven, it is actually the visage of The Old God his family once followed. Theia is much the same, but the Mask of Chimeris never depicts a singular beast - Just the visage of the Old God they once followed. Scholars of Antioch believe the visage of Chimeris to be a blend of beasts.

In combat, Theia wields arcane magic while invoking ancient blade dancing techniques of The Anteokheia. These techniques can utilize a plethora of weapons, but one of the most traditional was The Ring Blade. A large circular blade that could spun around the user and launched at targets using psionic energies.
