Violet is a Barbarian character in The Gathering Storm.
Gameplay[]
Violet makes a playable appearance in the first three maps of the Masters of Magic campaign. She starts in the first map as a level five General, with Basic Tactics, Basic Offense, Basic Leadership, Advanced Combat, Basic Melee, Basic Archery, and Basic Magic Resistance.
She will move from one map to the next keeping her experience, skills and spells, but will not appear anymore after the third map, Lambent Plains.
Biography[]
Violet was the only child of Chief Yargtooth, ruler of the Barbarian tribes that dwelt east from Devonshire. During her journeys, she met the self-trained Archmage Bohb, who would soon become her adventuring partner.
When Chief Yargtooth died, he named Violet his successor. Her female rule caused some of the strongest clan leaders to rebel and challenge her primacy. Bohb, who at the time was trying to assemble the Relics of Nevar, enlisted Violet to help in his quest. In return, Bohb used his vast magical talents against the insurgent Barbarians.
Violet followed Bohb on the Isle of Pyre, in Slart's Fjord and lastly in Lambent Plains. The duo eliminated a Barbarian warlord and recovered a relic in each of these places, and by defeating Oreha in the Lambent Plains, they quelled the rebellion.
In order to handle the negotiations between various clans after setting the uneasy peace, Violet had to leave Bohb to venture alone in Mt. Anon and in the Mire of the Dead to secure the last two artifacts of Nevar.
