Valky is a vanguard who sends a chill down the spine of every ally. Beneath her polished armor and neatly kept crimson hair lies a heart consumed by an almost obsessive lust for battle. Any rumors of her "gentleness" vanish the moment she flips a heavily armored knight with a single hand. Her massive lance is a nightmare to her enemies, and beneath the hooves of her mutated elk lie the shattered banners of countless empires. If you encounter her on the open plains, fighting to the death is your only real option. Prayers are nothing but wasted breath. The bounty hunter Cyprus once foolishly tried to pester her, only to be struck down by the shaft of her lance. To this day, that madman still sits in taverns bragging that it was a "close encounter with a goddess."
Story
Valky has never hidden her disdain for the aging kin of the northern clans. She believes that only through constant battle can a Viking's blood be kept from freezing. From a young age, she looked down from the back of her elk upon the trembling figures scattered across the frozen plains, learning a single truth: only the strong endure. Her natural talent for combat astonished her elders, yet what she desired was never peace, but a war grand enough to set the horizon ablaze. In her eyes, the petty village raids led by tribal chiefs were an insult to the very meaning of being a warrior. It was this belief that drove her to seek a battlefield worthy of her ambition.
As her ambitions grew, Valky openly challenged the authority of her clan leader on the eve of a major campaign. She did not oppose war itself, but saw the leader's willingness to sign a non-aggression pact with neighboring lands as cowardice, a betrayal of ancestral honor. The sudden challenge escalated into a brutal duel, overseen by the clan's most senior adjudicator. Before the crowd could even react, Valky's lance struck like lightning, ending the match in an instant. She accepted the war banner that symbolized command, only to cast it into the fire without hesitation. Then, mounting her towering elk, she set off alone toward the south, leaving behind a system she deemed unworthy, and beginning her solitary conquest.
The wounded clan leader has long seen Valky as the root of the tribe's fracture, for her rebellion exposed the weakness at the core of his rule. She took with her not only the tribe's greatest strength, but also the fierce spirit that once drove the Vikings across the seas. In the years that followed, he was forced to impose ruthless purges to maintain his fragile hold on power. Yet he knows that as long as Valky lives, his rule will remain under a looming shadow. Recently, a scout stationed along the border delivered troubling news: in a small town filled with opportunity and unrest, a red-haired warlord riding a great white elk has appeared, preparing to claim it as the starting point of her next campaign.
