Character Details
Zar'thex was raised in the astral raiders fortress-city of Tu'narath in the Astral Sea, trained from birth to be a warrior in the eternal crusade against the void-callers. She excelled in both martial combat and the rudimentary arcane arts that astral raiders knights cultivate, rising quickly through the ranks. But during a raid on a void-caller nautiloid in The Starlit Void, she witnessed her commanding officer slaughter an entire ship of freed thralls — innocent people whose only crime was having once been enslaved by void-callers. Something broke in her loyalty that day. She killed her officer, seized the nautiloid, and fled into the vastness of The Starlit Void with a handful of like-minded defectors. Now she sails the crystal spheres as a freelance captain, taking contracts that interest her and avoiding both astral raiders hunting parties and void-caller slavers.
"I command every situation I enter. In The Starlit Void, hesitation means death, and I did not survive this long by being indecisive."
"Independence. I abandoned one master and I will not bend my knee to another. My ship, my rules, my destiny."
"My crew chose to follow me into exile. Their lives are my responsibility, and I will burn a crystal sphere to ashes before I let them down."
"I carry the arrogance of my people like a second skin. I believe I am smarter and stronger than most beings I encounter, and I am not always wrong — but it makes allies difficult to keep."

A tall, imposing astral raiders woman with angular features, yellow-green skin, and burning amber eyes that carry an undeniable intensity. She wears a suit of ornate half-plate scavenged from a astral raiders knight she killed, modified with arcane sigils that faintly glow when she casts spells. A silver sword — the prized weapon of astral raiders warriors — hangs at her hip, and she carries herself with the innate superiority that her people are infamous for.
