Ruzana Hayland
Cleric
Ruzana Hayland
Species
Yotunn
Appearance
Ruzana is a towering yotunn woman with a furnace-bellied presence, moving with the slow certainty of a bellows drawing air before an inferno. Her thick red hair hangs in heavy, oil-sheened braids that smell faintly of smoke and resin, and her amber eyes look almost molten when she is angered. Her skin is pale stone-gray with a warm blush across the knuckles and cheekbones, as if embers burn just beneath the surface. She wears a chain shirt hidden under robes of woven asbestos and silk dyed charcoal black, yet the cloth drapes with almost priestly elegance and is hemmed in copper thread. The contradiction is striking: she looks both like a battlefield executioner and a grieving temple widow. Her shield bears scorch marks arranged like devotional script, and her club is polished smooth by years of use and ritual handling.
“Low, deliberate, and ceremonial, with occasional sharp clipped commands when irritated; she pronounces prayers as though each syllable has to survive heat to matter..”
