Akilini

Akilina  was a Nilazi of no small power back when Tuluk flourished at its prime under the rule of High Precentor Isar. Chafing at the limitations of her natural powers, Akilina continuously sought out relics that could advance her ambitions. This search led her to a brooch of unknown origin, though the isilt it was made out of suggested it was Tuluki in nature. The brooch had a definite magickal resonance to it and Akilina quickly began to study with it, incorporating it into many of her spells.

It was during one of her rituals, an attempt to create an anti-elemental barrier around her, that Akilina realized the error she had made. The brooch reacted to the spell in a manner unexpected and, instead of creating the field as Akilina had planned, summoned her to an extra-dimensional plane. Desperately, Akilina began to search for a way to return home but finally, after many attempts, gave up. However, in her attempts to discover a pathway home she had found that she could manipulate this reality to suit her whims and over time she was able to recreate the city of her birth, Tuluk.

But her body, though partially vitalized by the magickal energies of the dimension, aged and died. The prison she had found herself in, however, did not yield her spirit and she remained uncorporeal. In time, this drove her mad. Her environment, in turn, began to reflect the inner decay of her sanity. Recently, Akilina discovered she retains a thin sliver of a link to the ancient brooch. Though not powerful enough to free her, she has found that she can send her thoughts and emotions through the link and influence whomever is wearing the artifact. She desires a way to free herself from the prison. But if that is not possible, she would settle for company and the chance to possess a corporeal form.
