Svetlana's story
An Ex-cultist. Svetlana was an author of books revolving around occult topics with the themes of Mystery and Horror. They were a source of entertainment in the city she lived in, but secretly she was merely writing fiction combined with personal experiences from a cult that worshipped the abyssal beings that live outside of Chemnosh’s creation, the unspeakable horrors they had summoned were used by Svetlana as inspirations for the creatures she wrote of in her stories.
Svetlana’s body was heavily modified after years of activity in this cult, she grew black curled horns and beneath her black robes, her body is horribly disfigured. Svetlana started to leave her home less and less due to her body, and when she did leave, her body was covered in robes to hide the inhuman changes.
As for why Svetlana had joined such a cult to begin with? She has no memories of joining, although she remembers she was incredibly angry and wanted revenge against something. But the memories of whatever made her so angry, quickly faded due to the madness and insanity that developed due to what she had witnessed. She is mostly recovered from the madness but it still leaves her with some delusions and hallucinations throughout the day and terrifying nightmares at night.
The cult was discovered and her involvement was brought to light, she and the others within the cult were exiled. Looking for a second chance in life, Svetlana chose to enter a Teardrop of Mylen. Svetlana has a connection to Yourick due to her works as an author, and she aims for redemption.
“I hope that the gods will forgive me for my sins, one day.”
