Features
7 featuresAction
- Divine SenseLevel 1
As an action, you can open your awareness to detect strong evil or good until the end of your next turn. You know the location of any celestial, fiend, or undead within 60 feet that is not behind total cover. You know the type of any being sensed, but not its identity or alignment. You can also detect the presence of any place or object that has been consecrated or desecrated. You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 plus your Charisma modifier, and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
- Lay on HandsLevel 1
Your blessed touch can heal wounds. You have a pool of healing power that replenishes when you take a long rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of hit points equal to your paladin level multiplied by 5. As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the pool to restore hit points, up to the amount remaining. Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from the pool to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison. This feature has no effect on undead or constructs.

Appearance
A slender tiefling woman with deep crimson skin, swept-back black horns, amber eyes, and long dark hair bound with silver administrative rings. She wears polished chain mail beneath a navy tabard bearing the royal seal, carries a shield marked with a golden scale and sword, and keeps several clipped ledgers secured at her belt. Her tail is wrapped around her ankle when she is concentrating.
Mannerisms
She taps the edge of her shield whenever calculating a response, straightens nearby papers without thinking, and addresses arguments by citing dates, names, and documented precedent. When irritated, she switches from using a person's name to their official job title.
Personality
Precise, composed, and relentlessly practical. Veyra listens attentively, asks pointed follow-up questions, and remembers the names and employment histories of nearly everyone she meets. She has a dry sense of humor, a strong protective instinct toward ordinary workers, and little patience for charming people who cannot produce a written agreement.
Ideals
Order. A kingdom survives when duties are clearly assigned, records are accurate, and every person is held to the same standard, regardless of rank or bloodline.
Bonds
The royal personnel registry is her sacred trust. She will risk her life to recover it or protect the people whose names are recorded within it, especially workers whose service has been ignored or exploited.
Flaws
She treats every disagreement as a procedural failure and can become cold, pedantic, or quietly vindictive when people disregard established rules. Veyra also values institutional stability so highly that she sometimes rationalizes serving an unjust order rather than admitting that the system itself is wrong.
Quirks
Background
Veyra Caldris was raised in a provincial archive where her tiefling heritage made her a subject of gossip and suspicion. Rather than hide from the attention, she learned to make herself indispensable. She mastered filing systems, contract law, genealogical records, and the practical art of finding the one missing document that could settle an argument. Her studies eventually revealed that many of the kingdom's military failures were not caused by cowardice, but by poor recruitment, neglected supplies, and contradictory orders. Veyra became convinced that competent administration was a form of public service. The crown hired her as Royal Beings Resources Personnel, a newly formalized office responsible for recruiting guards, servants, and contracted adventuring parties. Veyra handles personnel records, assignments, performance disputes, compensation claims, and the delicate negotiations between dangerous heroes and the officials who employ them. She took the oath of a paladin not from a desire for glory, but because the law required an advocate who could enforce contracts, protect vulnerable workers, and punish those who abused royal authority. She believes order is meaningful only when it is applied consistently, including to kings, nobles, and herself.
