The two girls, although unaware of their true origins, have known since birth that they would aid the Luminary on his journey, Veronica in particular quickly proving herself to be a prodigy in terms of offensive magic.įiery, brash, arrogant, and with a caustic tongue from the outset, Veronica was abducted from the sauna room in Hotto and taken to the Cryptic Crypt as a sacrifice for the Lord of Shadows. They were found by Father Benedictus, the leader of Arboria, abandoned as babies in a basket in a nearby thicket Benedictus welcomed them among the keepers, having sensed the two girls true magical legacy, and entrusted them to Fidelius and Alma, a lovely couple who desired to have children of their own. The two come from the land of Arboria and are Keepers, a group of people dedicated to protecting the Luminary and helping him fight against the evils of Erdrea. Veronica and her twin sister, Serena, both inherited the soul of the sage Serenica, who accompanied Erdwin, the original Luminary on his journey against the Dark One.
