An "Alvezized" character commission for Srngtdrew, reinterpreting their characters as they would appear in Alvez, the world of Kroashent. Zita Zubala was once a Bediz (Human), a Navarese mercenary from the Southern colony of Asturias, making a name for herself as an expert guide through the treacherous Shatterlands, a magical wasteland destroyed in the cataclysmic even that merged the mundane world of Bedouar and the magical world of Faerie. Her luck changed when she was brought in to a compact with Matthieu Esthold, Viscount of Aulnay and his knight Victor. The trio hatched a plan for a grand expedition into the heart of the Shatterlands. Their target: The ancient capital of Qurṭuba and the untold riches of the old Empire. With a ship and a score of men, the group set out with dreams of riches and glory. It didn't go well. Within three weeks, the ship had been dashed against the mazelike cliffs of the Shatterlands, most of the men killed or fled. Zita was trapped in a collapsing temple, left for dead as Lord Esthold and Victor returned home, humbled by the experience.
But Zita did not die. Instead, the chaotic magic of Faerie transformed her into a snake-like Nathair. Freed from her stone prison, she swore revenge on those who she thinks betrayed her, including the children of Matthieu and Victor, Thierry and Michelle!
