List of historical figures

Queen Atziri
The last queen of the Vaal civilization. She was known for her vanity and held court in a room lined with mirrors. Atziri wished for eternal youth, inspired by the serial killer Zerphi living 168 years with a young body, and her thaumaturgist Doryani sacrificed countless victims trying to achieve this.

Atziri is the main antagonist of the Sacrifice of the Vaal expansion. Destroyed by the Cataclysm, she still lingers in a nightmare realm that is leaking corruption back into the land of Wraeclast.
