Chrysis

Concept: A wrathful lady of the earth and the sea.

Character Name: Chrysis

Raised as a noble lady and favored of the gods, she soon discovered how hard it was to play the noble lady and see the gods walking amongst men. Euphemos was a successful soldier for Skyros and after a long life of soldiering he was granted an estate on Krythos. He moved there with his new-found wife. Her family was happy to marry Chrysis off to the upstart noble from out of town.

Chrysis started working at the temple of Poseidon. Seven years ago Euphemos left for a long “last” expedition. Chrysis waited for thirteen months before deciding to dedicate the rest of her life to Poseidon. When Euphemos returned after three years in foreign lands, he found everything changed. His estate was run-down. His wife had deserted his household and joined the temple. Poseidon had taken his wife.

Beliefs:

  1. Without the statue of Poseidon, our island will be doomed to insignificance. To keep the statue on our island, I will watch all newcomers closely and stop any that threaten us.
  2. Now that I am in power, Pitharos can no longer threaten me. I will weave intrigues to break his alliance with Hendoras.
  3. Poseidon keeps us safe. I will ensnare visitors and foreign priests to prove them fools and impostors.
  4. Prophecy: I will be a speaker of the gods, but in my last hour, I shall not be heard. Nevertheless I am destined for eternal bliss and do not fear death.

Instincts:

  1. Always look for weakness in people’s past.
  2. Always focus on the stronger man.
  3. Always …
