THE WIND-UP TRIBUNUS

In her final moments at Castrum Meridianum, Livia sas Junius was caught up in a nightmare - the memory of crying over her parents' fallen bodies as a little girl, her own face disfigured by their killers haunting her as the fear her father Gaius, too, would die and leave her alone once again.This nightmare followed her into the Lifestream, and she set herself to the unenviable task of climbing her way out of the Palace of the Dead in the hopes of returning to his side, undeterred by the seeming hopelessness of her mission. Recognizing this drive to do the impossible, Hydaelyn tempered Livia and gave her Her blessing before returning her to life. Having retained her sense of self in the Lifestream by clinging to her childhood memories - both of that trauma and the comfort she'd found afterwards in her father's arms - reborn, Livia found herself in the body of the little girl she'd once been, dropped at the feet of a woman she'd tortured only a few sennights past.Minfilia held out her hand, and helped the girl to her feet.Without a doubt the Scions' most dubious acquisition, Livia Baelsar now works tirelessly in service of the will of Hydaelyn alongside Her other Warriors of Light - but she hasn't forgotten her own mission. She'll find her father, whatever it takes.
