Valerie Smith

Valerie Smith began with an unremarkable childhood, where she discovered purpose in the teachings of Lothor. This early passion evolved into a devoted commitment, guiding her path to become a revered leader in the church.   Valerie's devotion extends beyond the spiritual realm to the political, particularly in her inexorable belief in King Ramus as the reincarnation of Lothor. This conviction, originally a self-rationalized intuition, has become an integral part of her identity, influencing her decisions and actions within the church and kingdom. Where the King is seen, whether in the courts or on the battlefield, Valerie is by his side.   As Hierophant, Valerie rules overs the Lothoren Church within the Tritos Dominion with a leadership style that inspires and demands. Her influence is felt throughout the Civil Legion, where her encouragement leaves a lasting impression on each member. Called "The Silver-Tongued Apostle" by those of the Legion, the Hierophant has given personal blessings to every soldier for the last 30 years.   The kingdom's firm stance on Ramus's divine role, has not been without controversy. Within the broader context of Illumination and its various sects, Valerie's interpretations have sparked tensions, particularly within Summertide. Yet, despite these challenges, Valerie's charismatic rhetoric continues to draw a strong following. Her personal beliefs resonate with the tenets of Lothor where she advocates for the helpless, champions forgiveness, and prioritizes the community's needs over personal interests.
