Hello tRoM fans!

I thought it was time to reveal one the the characters we hope to produce from the upcoming Kickstarter.

Here is Q’ara the Prodigy, from Travium the House of Power

Q’ara is very likely the most powerful Wizard in Mellorian, and one of the most powerful in the entirety of the World. She is also a girl of a mere ten winters.

Q’ara is the great secret of Travium: a Wizard that can channel the pure power of magic – the Vaettim. It is forbidden for any House to allow a Wizard of such power to live, for those that can wield such power can rarely contain it. This makes them a danger on an unprecedented scale; if they lose control it could mean the destruction of the entire continent. If the other Great Houses learned of Travium’s breach of doctrine then there would be all out war between them, there are few matters consiered to be more important to the status quo.

Balavan Cek, Primus of Travium, has foreseen that Q’ara will be the one to open the doorway between worlds and will make good on the prophecy that underpins the existence of the House. In his mind, the risk of disaster is weighed against the certain apocalypse that House Travium knows is coming. Cek has enlisted his most loyal servant, Amara the Unfettered, to act as the tutor and guardian of this prized asset. Amara has trained Q’ara to hide her true power and to direct her skills into magic that is more in line with the use of Ghyr, Root of Power. Q’ara is an innocent in a world that doesn’t allow for it, and subterfuge isn’t something that she understands. Her powers go beyond the comprehension of other Mellorians, and such greatness cannot be easily concealed… It is only a matter of time before Cek’s secret is revealed to all, and Amara prays that Q’ara can come of age before then and realise her destiny.

In game terms, obviously we cannot introduce a model that can destroy the others with a click of their fingers! In the game Q’ara is subject to many limitations which offset her unique powers. As a ten year old child, one that has been hidden for many years and has been shielded from the harsh realities of life, Q’ara doesn’t function along the same lines as other models. The rest if them are fighters, to greater or lesser extents, but fighters all. Q’ara doesn’t really understand malice or violent intent, though is capable of inflicting a nasty shock to a model that comes too close.

Q’ara’s strength lies in manipulating locations of models, friendly and enemy. She is also able to bring healing to the table – a very powerful ability in Travium and a real godsend to Amara (who often injures herself to gain bonuses). Q’ara is the most mobile model in the game so far, able to cross large distances very easily. Due to this, she has some additional limitations regarding certain scenarios in order to prevent this from again being too powerful. So if you are looking to field a model with exceptionally powerful location control game, then this is the Acolyte for you!

The KS is due to start on the 14th of November. I will be back before then with some more tidbits, but I hope you will check it out when it launches.
