Demona's Voice

Good evening. I am Demona Blackreaver, Empress of Reaven. My kingdom encompasses the northern quadrant of Penterra. My people were driven into that region by the citizens of Penterra who seem to think Blood Magic is an unnatural form of power. After the remaining citizens divided themselves into three other kingdoms they sent their undesirables to live in the land of Reaven. After ten years of in fighting, my father, Darius Blackreaver managed to instill a semblance of order under his rule. He was named the first Emperor of Reaven by a counsel of thirteen Blood Magi. I was born shortly after during the solar period of Capricornus. My father named me Demona, which means south. According to him, it is a tribute to the land he would never see unless invited by another ruler.

I was raised by my father and his counsel of Blood Magi. They taught me how to read, write, and manipulate and conjure the six elements of life. Unlike most mages, who have a natural affinity for an element, which they can manipulate and conjure without the aid of a mage's staff, I am able to manipulate and conjure the five natural elements with my bare hands. The natural elements are classified as earth, fire, wind, and water. No mage in history has ever been able to conjure blood, and I am no exception. My talents have earned me the title Arch Mage. Until recently I was the only one with such power. Through a network of spies I have placed in the Trellion Tower of Magi I have learned there is another like me. She could either be a great ally or a dangerous adversary. Either way, I must know before I inact my plans to become supreme ruler of the land of Penterra.

My first attempt to gain more land was to seduce Marcus Starmane the King of Adoren. We were guests at the wedding of his sister Diana to Jarrod Hallowfang the King of Trellion. After we danced at the banquet I lured him into my bed and took great pains to ensure conception of his child. After I was certain I was pregnant, I wrote him informing him of the good news. His response was... disappointing. He denied the child was his and refused to marry me. Enraged by his callous rejection, I cursed his line with infertility. I later learned my curse affected his sister as well. I regret that but I could not change it if I wanted to. I also learned Morgan Terrashaper, the Royal Magus of Trellion, found a way to subvert my curse. Diana conceived four years after her wedding and gave birth to a boy. I saw this as my chance at redemption. If he lived I would find a way to unite my kingdom with Trellion. I knew King Jarrod would never wed his son to a daughter of mine so I needed to find a way to pass her off as King Marcus's daughter.

I have been keeping track of the boy's age. During his fifteenth year I intend to put my plan into action. Until then I will bide my time and gather intelligents.
