Ritualist | Blood Mage | Veil Piercer
Othello is a woman hewn from the ardent disciplines of sanguinomancy. An ascendant fleshwright, she bears renown across the isles as the illustrious Lady of House Cress.Yet beneath that cultivated veneer coils a creature far less human. Her truest form is anathema, wrought in eldritch anatomies, dark magic, and sickening flesh.Though deft in her magical command, not merely in warping the blood of others, but in reshaping her own flesh, she is not impervious. Alongside her exalted bloodmage craft, she bears the mantle of a shifter. Her shifting nature is an enshrouded truth and seldom spoken upon. Touched by the Ravenโs essence, her illusion-wrought guise betrays such gifts with sharp incisors and mannerisms feathered with avian instinct.Encircling her throat rests a viridian gem, within which is sealed her Houseโs ancestral relic; a bell of sterling silver, laced with labyrinthine filigree that coils into a lone blood-hued gem at its heart. This heirloom, emblematic of her venerable bloodline, was wrought in antiquity. The Cress Bells are steeped in whispered lore, said to harbor dormant puissance, anointed long ago by the eldest vicars of White Thornes.This singular heirloom is ever upon her for it serves, in some ineffable fashion, as a conduit through which her magical faculties are channeled.Her scholarly fixations have long circled bloodcraft and the molding of flesh. Though her House endeavored to cultivate a sovereign, it unwittingly ushered forth a scourge. Enamored with the art of veil-walking, she has devoted recent years to unraveling the mysteries of the Veil and the unseen dominions that seethe beyond its threshold.Such obsessions have drawn her to what many deem the very marrow of the Veilโs unraveling: The Isle of Storms, flanked by its kin: Anicium and the Savage Wilds. Upon these tempest-wracked lands, she shall refine her craft and carve her sigil into the annals of their history.

House History
House Cress commands reverence for their seamless interlacing of the arcane and the artisanal. Their sorcerous acumen, entwined with their prowess in armsmithing, has birthed not only instruments of power, but a dynasty gilded in both wealth and dread. Through shrewd enterprise and relentless delving into the mineral bones of the isles, they have sculpted a lineage that bears the crushing weight of legacy.Upon their kin are bells that reflect the relics of their ancestral gravity. Some have speculated the very air curdles with portent when a Cress approaches, as countless murmurs tell of the hollow, spectral toll of their harbinger bells

The Cress Estate, nestled in the forest-laden expanse of Northern White Thorns, stands as a testament to austere grandeur. Its imposing bell towers loom like watchful obelisks, tactically arrayed across the grounds.Beneath its manicured faรงade lies a chthonic sprawl of corridors, many meandering into dead ends, while a precious few descend into the estateโs catacombs. The crypts exude a reverent stillness, where effigies and sarcophagi, each hewn with painstaking devotion, pay homage to the bloodline's deceased.Interred within these vaults are the bells once worn by Cress ancestors, each a funereal relic of their enduring legacy. It is whispered that the eldest among them carry dormant enchantments, sealed in slumber, locked away in centuries-old reveries, waiting for some forgotten rite to wake them.

The Cress Tower stands as the principal bell tower and operational nexus of the Houseโs thriving enterprise. It anchors their far-reaching dealings in transport, mercantile exchange, and logistical command.

Crafting stories and developing characters has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. The process of world-building has always brought me immense satisfaction, but the true highlight has been the connections formed with fellow writers along the way!Collaborating with like-minded individuals in the realm of storytelling is exciting, though not without its hinderances. I place a high importance on transparent, candid, and sincere communication, and I make a conscious effort to embody these qualities in my interactions.I play a villainous character so it's important to note that the actions of my character do not reflect my personal beliefs or values.I've been writing House Cress and Othello since 2012 and continue looking forward to seeing what adventures follow her next!Quick Bits:
