Leika Rune-Keeper, Goliath Rune Knight Fighter - Sketch (Patreon)

Character Name: Leika Rune-Keeper, Rune Knight Fighter

Leika was born to the Risastorvinur clan of goliaths, which once roamed the foothills of the Flotket Alps north of the Rime Planes in the Graying Wildlands of Wildemount. Daughter of the clan leaders, she was the latest in a long line of fierce barbarians and fighters who had gained renown for their seemingly gods-touched strength and abilities in battle. She has an innate talent for runesmithing, runes bringing forth an unusual amount of power, especially in combat.

One day, a strange army swept into their lands with no warning. Leika lost friends and family as her clan was all but wiped out. She roamed southward to avoid the army and eventually had her introduction to "civilization" in Shady Creek Run. As soon as she could manage, she left there and made her way to Nogvurot, working as a mercenary and, in places where people have seen her as more than a mountain barbarian, a teacher of basic rune magic to those she finds worthy.

Leika is quite intelligent and devoted to the Allhammer, though her temper is scary!

What do you think? :)

I'll be posting the full illustration of Leika in a few days!
