Description/History: Halwa is Erhshegh ruler of the small nation of Halwan, named in her honour. Long ago she served in the Adurian army as a magician and was part of the force sent to Deismaar from Aduria. She was close to the God Vorynn during the destruction and absorbed much of his essence. Much of what she did in the years after Deismaar is unknown, and the next sighting of her was 300 years later as she led a small army to overthrow the Nehalim government in the small coastal land of Justeria, which is now known as Halwan. By then her transformation to an Erhshegh was already complete and she used her powers to take control of her new kingdom.
Ever since the small kingdom has been under her rule, despite many efforts by the Empire of Nehalim to retake their lost lands. In recent years there has been peace between the two realms as Nehalim has realised that trading with Halwan is better than fighting.
Halwa's skin had appears to be made of a silvery metal, although is feels, and moves similar to smooth Human skin. Her hair varies in colour, as she often dyes it depending on her moods. Her eyes are perhaps the most striking part of her body as they glow brightly with magical energy, a vivid icy blue colour. Her body is a thing of magic and as such she is immune to its harmful effects. Any spell cast directly at her fails, and the magical energy is absorbed. Even area effect spells may be negated if cast in her direction. This absorbed energy is used by her to cast addition spells if needed. For every spell level of magic absorbed (to a maximum of 50) can be used to power spells, using one absorbed level for each level of the required spell. This immunity to magic also extends to magical items and she is able to drain charged items of their magic. Permanent items do not function in her hands. As a result she has few magical items, preferring to instead pass any she comes across on to her lieutenants and guards.
The Silver Princess has ruled Halwan for over a thousand years and is treated by many of the people of the land as a goddess, although the official religion is the worship of Vorynn (or Ruornil). She is loved by her people for the wealth and protection she has bought the land and most would gladly die for her is needed.
