Alydriah Descarl (storyline)
Tragically beautiful, Alydriah is one of the true horrors of Delta V.
One of Baelius’ Shadow Guard before the war, Descarl spearheaded a campaign to incinerate a number of mining camps in the districts south of Jumerna, one of the more prosperous cities to the east of Central Station. Brutal tactics like these and some even more creatively vicious ones made up her heinous disciplinary regimen. She kept order amongst even the most unruly and frequently riot-prone sectors of the “Varium Ring” and she did so with acts of such indescribable cruelty that they forced obedience. Her means of maintaining control over her precincts were terrifying even to fellow Guardsmen, who quietly objected to her means but followed orders nonetheless out of abject fear.
Tall, elegant, and intense, it is impossible not to stare, but her ferocious nature makes it difficult to maintain proper composure in her presence. The loyal officers under her command fear and adore her as though she were a dark angel sent to deliver them. She considered herself Baelius’ right hand and worked tirelessly to maintain the order and efficiency that he so desired. As time drew the forces of the Uprising and the Legion closer to war, it became clear that disciplinary action would need to take a back seat to capital punishment. Administrative repercussions for dissent were limited to public flagellation and days spent in the stocks, at first, and executions followed soon thereafter. These horribly antiquated means of crime deterrence put extraordinary pressure on the districts that found themselves under Alydriah Descarl’s metal boot. Some say that her districts in the “Varium Ring” were the first to openly rebel in direct response to the morally devoid governess and her “death squads”.
After the banishment and the end of the War, Alydriah found her command decimated and her position at Baelius’ table compromised. In an attempt to cement her station she collected the remainder of her loyal forces and put them in control of different precincts inside Fortune City, founding the offices of the Administrators and recruiting regular troops as Shadow Guard to refill her ranks as quickly as possible. The new Shadow Guard doesn’t share the brutality of Alydriah’s previous battalions, but they still lay down the law with cruel prejudice and the Administrators who organize the Guard are some truly ruthless governors in their own right.
When the exiles began to show up on Delta V, many of her old Shadow Guardsmen and women came with them, and their return heralded the reinvigoration of the old ways of brutality and amoral judgment. Now, the ranks of the Shadow Guard are at full strength and mobilized like never before throughout Old Fortune City and across Delta V.
At this point it is clear that Alydriah has abandoned the modicum established by Baelius. She has begun a crusade the likes of which humanity will never forget once the hammer falls upon the warring Factions of Delta V. She is unbridled vengeance manifest. Her word is law and her resolve is unwavering. She will crush the Exiles and disband the Legion, for whom her distaste is not hidden. The world she seeks to create is one of order by fear, and it would appear she has an eye to include Caden in her plans. Who would resist her? Who can stand against the roiling storm?
