Ashen Initiate

A newly inducted member of the Ashen Verdict — trained in basic combat and fanatical obedience, but not yet blooded on a Vestra hunt.

The tabard is new; the conviction is older. Ashen Initiates are young people who found purpose in the Verdict's rigid certainty — or were placed there by parents who found the certainty convenient. Their training is rigorous. They have been taught the Vestra are living catastrophes to be put down; whether the person in front of them truly is one, they do not yet think to ask. They will still fight you with everything they have.

The tabard is new; the conviction is older. Ashen Initiates are young people who found purpose in the Verdict's rigid certainty — or were placed there by parents who found the certainty convenient. Their training is rigorous. They have been taught the Vestra are living catastrophes to be put down; whether the person in front of them truly is one, they do not yet think to ask. They will still fight you with everything they have.
