Introducing the characters of the Claret Age! N’anya Faraja: The Mother of Horgr.
A natural born leader with a near encyclopedic knowledge of recent history, the Red City, and its inhabitants. After the brutal attack by monsters left Horgr colored red with the blood of the slain, N’anya went to the city to lead rehabilitation for the survivors. She opened a tavern called Obatala which flourished and eventually became the city’s central meeting hub.
N’anya believes that the afflicted are still human and deserve all the same rights humans do. This belief makes her the only tavern owner out of the entirety of the Red City to openly serves the afflicted. Obatala’s open doors bring a lot of strange people into her tavern, but her knowledge gives her the uncanny ability to read these peoples’ personalities instantly.
N’anya is overflowing with compassion and treats everyone in the city as if they are her own child. She encourages everyone she meets to call her whatever motherly term they use to refer to their own mother.
N’anya commands more respect than anyone else in the Red City; even more than the legendary hunter! People who come to the Red City for whatever reason are guided to Obatala first so N’anya can properly welcome them or unwelcome them.
N’anya is not afraid to fight for herself if mistreated, although she is surrounded by plenty of people who will risk anything for her continued safety.
