An Emberai Windborne adopted by Mulsae's Mother and raised as Mulsae‘s sister. A Veilwalker and Spymaster for the ☵ Water Sanctum.
Etymology: Full name “Eli’anori”. Just a silly name from a mother who was still a child when she gave birth. Nori loathes her full name. Her birth mother loves to sing her name which drives her crazy.

Is a Veilwalker with associated powers:
- Liquidform: Her body can dissolve and slip through cracks, keyholes, drains, or seams—anywhere water might pass.
- Mirrorspy: Can connect to any reflection — mirrors, still water, polished metal — and observe whatever is around it. Can also hear any sound waves that reach the reflection’s surface.
- Mirrorstep: Can travel instantly through reflections
☵ Water Sanctum Powers:
- Control over liquids. Can push or pull fluids in short, intense bursts. This includes blood within living beings. Can be triggered repeatedly but grows increasingly exhausting.
- Sense presence. Can sense the emotional presence of beings, where they are located, and read their intentions.
Fire Phase Powers:
Important to be distinct from ☲ Flame Sanctum powers. Fire Phase is about transformation.
- Molten edge: Superheat swords to cut through armor and flesh. Gradually warps and melts over time.
- Metal dissolution: Breaks down metal at the molecular level—melting swords, warping armor, or collapsing structural reinforcements. Can be done subtly to weaken metal secretly.
- Ore Purification: Draws out impurities from raw metal or stone, leaving a cleaner, stronger material behind. Could turn rusted, corroded iron into something usable again.
- Phase Shift: Alters a substance’s state — solid to liquid, liquid to gas — in a controlled, localized way. Example: Evaporating water from wet powder to make it usable again, or liquefying stone in a thin vein to seal a crack.
- Stone Tempering: Changes the hardness of stone, from crumbly and brittle to diamond-hard, or vice versa. Useful for breaking through obstacles or fortifying a wall.
- Mineral Growth: Encourages crystalline structures to form or expand within rock, either to trap or to reinforce. Could be used as a bridge-building trick or to trap an enemy’s feet in a crystal cluster.
- Earthen Transmutation: Converts one earth-based material into another — clay into ceramic, sand into glass, limestone into quicklime.
Relationships
Mother: Unnamed
Father: Unknown or unnamed
Siblings: Mulsae (adopted)
Chooses to not be tied down to one partner. Sexual partners and family are either separate, or she just hasn't found a sexual partner she wants part of her family. After her extended isolation because of Zudaeshi’s reign, she would be willing to have a relationship with Mulsae and Damion, but they are interested in other people.
