Teranca Rymden, The Emberwright

Born on Argus as a Draenei, Teranca Rymden was the firstborn daughter of a respected family. Her early years were marked by a strong devotion to the Light, a faith she was raised to uphold with pride and duty. However, her world shattered when the Burning Legion attacked and her people were forced to flee. In the wake of the fall of Argus, Teranca’s faith in the Light began to waver, and the horrors she witnessed during the Second War and subsequent conflicts left scars on her soul that the Light could no longer heal.

After her escape from Argus, Teranca served in the Alliance but felt increasingly disconnected from the ideals of righteousness and purity that once guided her. This disillusionment led her to seek out darker paths, turning to the destructive powers of fel magic and necromancy. Her time as a member of the Forsaken was transformative. When Sylvanas Windrunner discovered her after a battle on Azuremyst Isle, she raised Teranca as one of her own, introducing her to the powers of undeath, which Teranca embraced with a chilling ease.

While Forsaken, Teranca was tasked by Sylvanas with researching how to spread the plague more efficiently during the campaign against Gilneas and its worgen inhabitants. It was during this time that Teranca became fascinated with the worgen curse—the duality of the beast and man. Her fascination grew as she experimented with worgen blood, attempting to refine it and understand its complex nature. This obsession with transformation and control would later evolve into her strange, bizarre experiments.

However, her time as Forsaken was short-lived. It was revealed that Teranca was a key player in the Battle of Gilneas, and the Forsaken authorities began to take a closer interest in her. Fearing for her safety and seeking to avoid further attention, Teranca used powerful magics to transform herself into a gnome, a drastic measure that allowed her to hide from those who sought her. The gnome form gave her a new identity, one that would allow her to continue her work without fear of discovery. Yet, her thirst for greater power did not end there.

Through the use of blood magic, Teranca eventually underwent another transformation, this time into an Eredar, a being of immense power, far removed from her Draenei heritage. Now free from the shackles of her previous identity, Teranca was able to fully embrace her dark nature and the chaotic powers that flowed through her. As an Eredar, she became an adept warlock, specializing in the Destruction school of magic, while also delving into alchemy and inscription to refine her craft.

Her alchemical work took a peculiar turn when Trÿx and Jemmïe, her sisters, began bringing her extra blood they had boiled and frozen. Rather than dispose of it, Teranca decided to make use of this bizarre gift, eventually creating the infamous blood coffee creamer. What began as a strange necessity grew into an obsession, especially after the revelation that Jemmïe was a San’layn, adding a darker layer of intrigue to the family’s connection with the undead.

Now retired, Teranca spends her time perfecting her alchemy and inscription work. Though her heart is still consumed by the pursuit of power and the refinement of her craft, she has largely withdrawn from the world, preferring to experiment in isolation. She continues to correspond with her longtime pen pal, the mischievous Pusillin, an imp with whom she shares a deep, unspoken respect.
