Unidentified Skyspear

This individual was the Skyspear, the matriarch of the Dolorav tribe. In 834 PD, she killed Zuala after she married Yasha Nydoorin in secret against the tribe's traditions and was killed by Yasha as vengeance.

Description
The Skyspear is depicted in with pale skin and reddish-brown hair that she kept braided and tied in a low bun. Her face is marked in red paint with two lines angled from the inside of her eyes across her cheeks and one vertical line across her lower lip and chin. She wears the distinctive hides and spiked armor of her title, including a spiked leather strip that she wears over her head as she performs rituals as the Skyspear and over her shoulders at other times. She carries a spear as her primary weapon.

She is a strict and unemotional both in her duties as Skyspear and as a parent. Yasha Nydoorin, whom she adopted, observed that "mothering" does not well describe how she raised Yasha. The Skyspear is fully dedicated to the traditions of the tribe and firm in her belief that following these traditions serves the gods.

Biography
She was a member of the Dolorav tribe and had a partner named Baska, with whom she had multiple children. To her disappointment, none of these children were daughters. At some point, she became the Skyspear, champion and ruler of the Dolorav tribe who earns the title by proving her strength and mental acuity. She led the tribe, and her responsibilities included choosing those in the tribe to be marked warriors of the tribe and making major life decisions for the marked, including who they marry. Those marked who resisted or broke the Skyspear's orders were punished with death.

She was Skyspear when she and other warriors discovered another clan of the moorlands was annihilated, leaving only Yasha Nydoorin surviving. Believing that Yasha survived because she was chosen by the gods, she adopted Yasha into the Dolorav tribe and raised her as her own daughter. She hoped that Yasha would become her successor as Skyspear and trained her strictly and harshly. She briefly hesitated to choose Yasha to be marked, as she felt that Yasha's resolve was wavering after Zuala was adopted into the tribe. However, she called Yasha forward for the ceremony, and Yasha successfully became a marked warrior. The Skyspear then gave her the name Orphanmaker.

Later, Yasha and Zuala married in secret. In 834 PD, the Skyspear informed Zuala she was to be married to another, Zuala told the Skyspear that she loved and married Yasha, hoping to convince the Skyspear to change the tribe's ways. She stabbed and killed Zuala, then demanded Yasha choose obedience or death. In a rage, Yasha killed the Skyspear, then left the tribe. Yasha did not remember this and believed she immediately fled.

She was succeeded by Jadek.
