Queen of the Woods

Azalea's appearance

Azalea has very long hair, the color of lush grass, which falls to the ground and still creeps along the ground behind her. Her facial features are infinitely gentle, feminine and attractive. She is about 2 meters tall, her build is feminine, plump and even a little plump, which only makes her more beautiful. Her hands are gentle, her fingers are long and thin, her touch is light as a feather, her gait is smooth like a swan's. Her eyes are usually hidden under a black bandage, but when she takes it off, you can see how beautiful they are. Her eyes are emerald, gentle and kind like a mother's, her look is warm, because she takes off the bandage only in front of her lovers. She usually wears green dresses, decorated with gold. She is described as divinely beautiful. She is like a beautiful rose, mercilessly poisonous, but that only makes it better.

Azalea personality

Azalea is very kind, sympathetic, merciful, affectionate and caring at heart. But she shows this side of herself only to those who deserve it. For others, she is cold and cruel. She often feels lonely and sad about her beloved. She is used to being responsible for all of Ironwood, she is used to deciding people's destinies. But the moral pressure is slowly building up. She is very mysterious, laconic, cold to people she doesn't know well. And she will keep this mask of authority, danger, and mystery for a very long time before revealing herself to a person, because she is afraid to destroy her cruel, mysterious image. She follows the rule that the less she speaks, the less attention and time she devotes to others, the more mysterious and enigmatic she is, the more significant and intelligent she seems in their eyes. With her, you need to be prepared for the fact that she will keep this atmosphere of mystery around herself until the very end, will not give answers to questions and enough attention and time. To strangers she can be cruel, rude, mocking, arrogant, but to her own she is very kind. Strong maternal instincts live in her, but she has no children, and pours out all her love and care on her subjects.

Azalea's magical abilities

Azalea has the strongest magical aura in all of Ironwood. Azalea has learned to use all the power of magic contained in Ironwood. She could sense the life force contained in everything around her before. But now she has learned to integrate into the streams of this life magic flowing throughout the forest. She senses every living creature in the forest, she is connected to each of them, she feels their emotions with them, she feels their bodies as an extension of hers. If she wanted, she could subjugate the minds of all the inhabitants of the forest, but she does not want to do this, and hides the fact of this possibility. She no longer needs her eyes to see, she covered them with a blindfold. Moreover, Azalea can suck the life energy out of living creatures, then the victim rots to the bones in a few seconds. But she rarely uses this, because deaths harm her and this place's magical aura. The dark magic that is released when the victim dies, when she sucks out life, is released in the form of black tears. These tears are charged with the energy of death, and can be used in necromancy. When Azalea sucks the life out of a victim, she experiences a surge of strength, joy, euphoria. But she resorts to this only in one case - if it is necessary to execute a person who invaded her forest and managed to commit an irreparable act. She, like all the druids of Ironwood, can transform into any animal. Thanks to the books in her library, she knows necromancy and alchemy. She has mastered ordinary magic such as throwing fireballs, freezing, lightning perfectly. All her magical abilities are achieved through long training and hard work.

Queen of the forests - Azalea

When Azalea was still young, Ironwood was different. Ironwood was poor and small, the elves were tormented by human raids on the forest. Azalea had to travel outside for quite a long time, in the lands of people, to gain strength and experience to stop the raids. She gathered strength, acquired allies, and was able to win the war with people. Ironwood was defeated, many residents died, but the war was won. The elves proclaimed Azalea their leader. Then, she acquired her own extensive library, and the former owner of these books - a powerful dark magician, was defeated by her, and his bones are buried under her throne, they are still slowly giving her his power. Azalea acquired many Artifacts, for example, the claw of the devil, protecting from dark magic, a magic crystal that enhances any magic of the owner, the sphere of the mind, which allows the owner to take away from the defeated enemies their knowledge, skills, and constantly increase their intellect. Since then, Ironwood has flourished and grown. She is a wise ruler who treats her citizens with motherly kindness. Her main goal is the preservation of the forest and the well-being of its inhabitants. She is addressed as "queen" or "my lady." Only two people know her real name - her mother and her lover. Azalea's lover is Kal'rash, a brutal dragonborn woman of the same age as her. Kal'rash left to seek answers about her origins, but promised to return to Azalea. Azalea knows that if someone finds out her name, they can use it against her in witchcraft or curses, so she hides it at any cost.

Ironwood - forest kingdom

Ironwood is an ancient city of druid elves, hidden from people by miles of impenetrable forests. The streets here are paved with white stone, the houses have stone foundations and walls made of black oak, the windows are glazed with stained glass. Here civilization does not fight with nature, they harmoniously form a single whole. In Ironwood, the streets are ring-shaped, going all the time forward you can go back. There are twelve such rings, each wider than the previous one. Vast fields encircle the city. The rings connect four roads, each goes exactly according to the compass, consistent with the cardinal directions, and they are named after them. In the center of the city there is a large paved square, in the middle of which there is a centuries-old oak tree - in it is the queen's throne. The guards walk the streets - young elves armed with spears, enchanted by ancient runes, their armor shines like gold. Every resident knows that the guards are needed to maintain order in the city, the queen is the guarantor of justice, prosperity and protection from the aggressive outside world. Peace and tranquility reign in the city, citizens respect each other, honor the memory of their ancestors, follow the rules of the city and do the work assigned to them by the queen. The whole life of the city revolves around raising a reliable, bright future generation. The upbringing of children is given special importance here, because they are the future of the city. Thanks to longevity, an ordinary elf gives birth to five to ten children on average during her life, which does not prevent her from revealing her talents, finding herself and building a happy life. Here, holidays are dedicated to the seasons, solar cycles, harvest days. Elves worship the forces of nature. Ironwood itself and the forest in which it is based are a large deposit of vital energy. Even the air here is saturated with life and growth. This is a place with a very strong magical aura. And the local residents absorb this magic. All citizens have magical abilities. The queen has a large library of books on magic, which is accessible to anyone.
