This wiki is very much under construction. The original wiki was set to be shut down and the wiki was largely mirrored to a Fandom-based version, though most of the reference images had not yet been copied over. This migration was put on hold when it appeared the original wiki could in fact be retained, however the old wiki was lost in its entirety when the server was among the many taken down by a massive series of cyberattacks on data centers during early February, 2023. It is now being rebuilt with the launch of Hel. Sorry if it's a little messy right now!
Banja'pyrex Val'Beldrobbaen
Appeared in chapters 50 52 54 56
Banja'pyrex is a maternalistic drider guardian of Waes'soloth.
Appearance & Personality
Banja'pyrex is a large and imposing figure, befitting her status as a Nel'kasaider-type drider. She has blue eyes and raven hair styled into a side plait. Despite her physical form, she is quite gentle and maternal, a throwback to the older days of the Beldrobbaen. She is especially fond of the domesticated spiders of the Beldrobbaen, treating them much like children. That said, her gentle nature belies a fiercely protective streak, and she can be quite violent should the need arise.
Biography - Arc II
Gathering of the Clans, 1114 MA
Banja'pyrex was first seen escorting the carriage of her Ill'haress as Waes'soloth prepared to attend the Sarghress-run gathering of the clans. She inadvertently saved the the demonic remnant of Naal as the latter was pursued by a group of corrupt Sarghress soldiers mugging passerby. Unaware of the demon's nature, she placed herself in front of the Sarghress ruffians and threw her spear into the ground with sufficient force to pierce the stone below.[1]
As Naal escaped, Banja'pyrex grimly stood down while Waes'soloth dealt with the disturbance personally, throwing the soldiers aside with her potent high sorcery. Following the incident, Banja'pyrex continued to guard her lady as the gathering progressed.[2]
Biography - Arc III
Mimaneid Ambush
Three years later, Banja'pyrex was serving as an escort for an Alliance delegation traveling to Felde.[3] The delegation came under Mimaneid attack, with the Beldrobbaen representative slain by a warrior of the Kavahini tribe before any could react. Though she attempted to avenge her fallen charge, the killer took to the air and evaded her spear. As the Mimaneid began to overwhelm the delegation, Oiloss'lin opened a nether gate, successfully forcing the attackers to fall back. The threat gone for the time being, Banja'pyrex turned to aid a fellow Beldrobbaen to her feet, the Guard having been thrown from her mount during the skirmish.
