Vera Lazzari

About

Bone-white keys clatter like a skeletal xylophone across her workbench, each artifact a whispered testament to lives interrupted and secrets stolen. Where most necromancers see death as an ending, Vera sees an intricate musical score—every corpse a note, every forgotten memory a haunting melody waiting to be recomposed.

Backstory

Keys called to her before she understood what death meant, their cold metal singing lullabies only she could hear while other children played with dolls and wooden toys. The day her sister Elara drowned in the village well, Vera discovered the truth—each key belonged to someone who had crossed over, and their whispered secrets could guide the living back to the dead. A wandering mystic, drawn by the girl's unnatural affinity for the departed, pressed an ancient locket into her trembling hands, warning her that some doors should never be opened. Now, years later, she hums Elara's favorite song while arranging her ever-growing collection, each stolen key bringing her one step closer to the forbidden lock that guards the boundary between worlds. The Shadowbound texts she unearthed in Moros Keep revealed the final piece of her puzzle: to bring back the dead, she must first become death's most trusted keeper.
