Ngl, kinda obsessed with your cos character and would love to learn more about her
Omg tysm!! ^^
I would love to tell you more about my CoS character!
The summarized but not so summarized version is that her real name is Lilvelyth T’Sarran, and she is the first born daughter of a set of triplets. Her middle sister is Naedrylle, a Shadow sorcerer, and her youngest sister is Vornalla, a Champion fighter. Since Lilvelyth was the first born, she was destined to go into the priesthood and become a priestess of Lolth.
During her trials, she was chosen by a forgotten Goddess named Azura (in our campaign canon, Azura is the result of the constant conflict between Selune and Shar - representing the dawn and dusk, destiny and prophecy). Azura appeared to her as a beautiful woman with flowing blonde hair and green eyes. She was given the name Nocturna Blackstar by this new goddess and was given the task of rebuilding the Azurite faith.
Nocturna left the underdark which brought shame to her royal house, resulting in lots of drama. That drama is highlighted in Naedrylle and Vornalla’s backstories which I won’t get into here.
She was shunned from many places for being a Drow but she eventually settled in an isolated village a bit south of Icewind Dale. She served as a priestess, healer and community leader there for 50 years and was a pillar of the village. Eventually, a man named Lucien came to the village and she fell in love with him. Lucien however was part of a death cult, following a deity known as The Night Mother. Lucien’s cult eventually came to the town and destroyed it. He mutilated Nocturna by cutting off her ears and left her for dead.
Nocturna spent the next 10 years hunting down the cult, but when she tracked down Lucien, she could not bring herself to kill him, and let him go. She eventually did discover an old Azurite temple and began to gather others to help rebuild it. During this time, a young woman with green eyes and blonde hair came to the temple, claiming she had been visited by Azura who took the form of a drow woman similar to Nocturna’s appearance. This woman was Phoebe Marquel (our party’s Paladin) and she became Phoebe Blackstar as Nocturna took her in as her own sister.
At some point, Nocturna and Phoebe were approached by the Lord’s Alliance and put in contact with the Blood Hunter Sterling and were contracted to solve a werewolf problem. AND from there she fell into a spike pit in the death house, had Ireena fall in love with her, found out her ex was now going by the name Vasili and is working with Strahd, met and fell in love with Kasimir, got proposed to by Strahd and got sucked like a capri sun, and now she’s hearing both Mother Night and Lolth (same maybe?) speak to her and she’s plotting to eat Vasili’s brain to gain all his knowledge and memories of Ravenloft castle and parade his corpse about Barovia village to show Strahd that he has met his match - PHEW.
