Tlea Ormann

Description

Tlea Ormann was a Royal Prospector and the foreman of the Feymar crystal mine expedition. Originally a graduate of one of the six Great Academies, she transitioned into a career as a Crystalsmith to ensure a wealthy and comfortable lifestyle. During the Feymar expedition, she acted as an guide for the Ernas sisters but eventually betrayed her comrades when the situation turned dire. Her pragmatism led her to align with the Undead Courts and Kallion Nuragor to save her own life. This decision resulted in her murdering Captain Kortus before she was ultimately executed by Lith Verhen.

Personality

Tlea was defined by extreme pragmatism, cowardice, and selfishness, viewing survival as the ultimate priority over ideals or heroism. She possessed a blunt, cynical worldview, believing that people, much like mineral veins, could be judged at a glance for their worth. She was dismissive of bravery, claiming that most prospectors would flee when faced with true danger. Her decision to betray her team to save her own life highlights her lack of moral compass and her deep-seated desire to protect her wealth and comfort at any cost.

Appearance

Tlea was described as a plump woman in her 50s with red hair and green eyes.

Backstory

Tlea studied at one of the Great Academies, specializing in the Warden path. Lacking proficiency in dimensional or combat magic, she pivoted to Crystalsmithing, which provided her with significant wealth. She was hired by the army to oversee the Feymar mine exploration, where she initially assisted Quylla, Friya, and Phloria Ernas. When Kallion Nuragor and the undead forces orchestrated a takeover to eliminate the Ernas sisters, Tlea prioritized her own survival over loyalty to the kingdom. She betrayed her group by murdering Captain Kortus to accept an offer of leniency from the traitors, only to be killed shortly thereafter by Lith's intervention.
