The Ashweaver Queen

Goddess of the Hearth

  • Act Boss

Hestrel kept the hearths that carried the northern clans through their long winters, and the roll made her goddess of the Hearth. When the sun became a ration, hearth fire was the last free light in the world, and Hestrel decided that it, too, must be paid for. She weaves pyres from the homes of debtors, calls her Pyre Hounds to herd them, and throws lances of fire at any climber who argues. She believes, truly, that without her every hearth below would go out.

I kept you warm in the cradle. I will burn you in the grave.

A lance of searing ash pierces a line 10m long: 350 magic damage and 70 burn per second for 3s.

Invested as the divine keeper of northern hearth fires, Hestrel wields flame as an unforgiving debt collector. The ash queen raises her blackened iron stave, drawing embers from the air into a spinning needle of pure white heat. She hurls the searing lance across the lines in a blistering streak of scarlet sparks, impaling foes and igniting their armour with clinging fire.

367.5 magic damage within 3m of the densest group and a 0.5s stun.

Born from the harsh belief that warmth must be purchased with blood, her wrath punishes all who resist payment. Hestrel spreads her soot-stained silk sleeves, tracing a smoking circle above the most crowded ranks. A pillar of crimson fire and suffocating ash roars upward from the stone floor, detonating with concussive force to blast invaders off their feet and leave them dazed and stunned upon the scorched stone.

Surround self in an aegis of flame: a shield of 875 + 8% max HP for 5s.

The sacred rite of hearth preservation shields the goddess behind the stolen warmth of burned winter settlements. Whispering harsh northern oaths, Hestrel claps her cindered palms together and draws a vortex of blazing coal around her body. Swirling rings of golden fire and drifting grey soot form a protective shell, scorching incoming blades and turning arrows to drifting cinders.

Call 2 Pyre Hounds for 22s.

A ruthless muster honed across centuries of hunting debtors enables Hestrel to call forth her ravenous beasts. She whistles a shrill note through charred lips, pointing her iron staff at the trembling trespassers. Pyre hounds leap from the smouldering cracks, ashen hounds made of burning coal and cinder sinew that snap their molten iron jaws and chase down running prey.

Ultimate: white-hot ash engulfs every enemy: 600 magic damage and 210 burn per second for 4s.

When mortal rebels reject her fiery tithe, Hestrel unleashes the supreme judgment of a dying hearth. Levitating on gusts of scalding draft, the queen opens her cindered arms wide as her charcoal crown flares into blinding incandescence. A colossal storm of white-hot ash and swirling embers erupts in a blinding dome across the battlefield, engulfing every enemy in an ocean of searing fire that burns through flesh and stone.

Appearance

The Ashweaver Queen is a divine act boss and goddess of the Hearth, standing eight feet tall as Hestrel levitates upon currents of scalding air. She has the severe, commanding features of a divine matriarch with charcoal-tinted porcelain skin, sharp cheekbones, blazing ruby eyes, and long hair woven from white-hot smoke and glowing ember strands. She wears billowing royal robes of asbestos silk in charcoal and burnt crimson, adorned with charred gold filigree and an open collar revealing burning throat embers, crowned by a high charcoal tiara of burning coals. She channels flame through a slender blackened iron stave tipped with a caged hearth ember, throwing searing lances of fire and calling forth packs of pyre hounds. A blinding dome of golden fire and swirling ash radiates from her. Palette: burnt crimson, charcoal grey, flame gold. Silhouette hook: a levitating queen in flowing robes crowned with burning coals, holding an iron fire stave.
