Yorimin

Overview
In life, Yorimin was one of Vrahn's generals, and her consort. After several severe losses in combat, she took another lover and banished Yorimin, who died in the desert shortly afterward. His determination to prove himself revived the dark elf (now believed to have become a revenant), who launched campaign after campaign against Vrahn's shadowy foes in the south. His gathered followers ensured that he would rise as a god after his year of bloody battle, and when the dark elf queen ascended to the Expanse she took war into her own hands, overcoming his will with powerful magic and again making him her chief consort.

Appearance
Tall for a male dark elf, Yorimin rivals the largest women in height, and combines it with a prodigious (for an elf) musculature. Often depicted wearing a dark toga (the tattered remains of his general's uniform) and carrying a pair of giants' daggers sharpened to a keen edge, few depictions of Yorimin remove his trademark scowl.

Divine Mission
Broken to his mistress' will in the afterlife, Yorimin is a tool for the foundress. He and the greatest of dark elf soldiers carry out her will throughout the Expanse and Cosmic Disk alike, defending the Vrahn Queendom from threats, enforcing order in the streets of its cities, and slaughtering the people of Arakis with a bitter vengeance.

Religion
Well-trained but societally expendable, dark elf soldiers are exclusively male. Vrahn teaches that even the lowest woman's hands must not be sullied by lifeblood or war, presenting an odd scene whenever the male soldiers of Vrahn escort a female criminal to court. A deep shame, these well-armed and well-armored soldiers will rise up occasionally, but the powerful sorcery of the upper classes has never yet been overcome. Religious training for Yorimin is preparation for combat. His followers are her soldiers, his clerics her war-priests. Lack of sleep, following orders, and physical training are holy to Yorimin.

Afterlife
As Vrahn's auxiliary, Yorimin has no afterlife to call his own. Instead he guards the Ebon Palace at Vrahn's side, commanding her guard while his men wait on generations of royal women and defend the palace from any that dare attack it.

Magic Properties
The magic of Yorimin is flashes of ebony-blackened steel, scarcely slow enough for the eye to follow and striking with deadly precision and even greater accuracy.
