About the Daughters

The daughters of Vix and Alzar were born better with high expectations. They are granddaughters of the Immortal Nyx herself who was Vix’s parent. Both of their parents took the difficult path of Immortality and both succeeded. Only a handful of couples in history have managed that. Very few had children.

They were born better. And there is a saying in Pandius that goes, “To those who are born better, more is expected.”

Vix was never the mothering type. As soon as she gave birth she would turn back to adventuring. Alzar also wasn’t the ideal father, but he had others helping out in that role. He was expecting to finish raising them prior to heading to immortality, but he took a one time offer to lead the immortals as an uber-Immortal. He left the girls both young.


Abandoned by their parents at a young, formative age, they sisters grew very close to each other and are always around each other. Only Intaria and Juri know what it was like to be them Intaria was raised as the Queen and a diplomat, and Juri was raised to be a future general. Juri took after Vix, using her Spear, while Intaria took after her father and is a Path Mage that he founded, although she is a pure mage whereas Alzar would often lead from the front.


After Alzar ascended, Maerie took the girls under her aegis. In her late 50s, she had never gotten married nor had she had children, and she saw this as an attempt to push aside her previous help for friends and work and turn to family. She took on a key motherly role for the girls. Meanwhile Barkal the Red helped her and took on a grandfatherly way. Given his 11 kids and 25 grandchildren, he was well experienced and helped Maerie out

The girls did have their typical younger push back again expectations, Juri more than Intaria. Both of them felt trapped by the heavy expectations and they pushed back against that by misbehaving. Both have grown into young adults and are past that.


Both of them have massive boosts from their parents. Juri has her father’s Helm and artifact shield, plus her mother’s Spear and Chariot. Meanwhile Intaria kept all of her father’s best items and spellbook. These are great benefits to being and living as the children of two that advanced. Although they have both just level 5, they are very powerful from their items. They also have access to a lot more, as you’ll see with a quick shout out mid-sheet of Intaria.

They are much more powerful than a typical pair of 5th level adventurers! They have gained as much XP as thy can get via ruling, and I am ruling as the DM that they must now adventure to level up (in the game you gain XP for each month you rule).

Note that Intaria is not as...severe...as Alzar. She isn't all about power and it's pursuit. Of the sisters, she shares her father's alignment, but not all of his obsessions. She's more of a people person. Also note that the sisters are Lawful Neutral more like Vix and less like Alzar in alignment.


Ready for Intaria and Juri?
