"Necessity is the Mother of invention..."

New Lore Notes For Riot:

• In the beginning of her journey, Riot travels across Sornieth with Varg, chasing Lesser Falls to keep her leg and tail charged. When they come across a place of latent magic, Riot spends a considerable time dwelling there to stock up on vials. (More often than not, it is an ugly and boring process of hacking up local fauna and plants with her Cleaver... until more befitting tools are crafted..)

• As a result of constantly needing to upkeep her prosthetics, Riot becomes familiar with Artificing. Riot's desire to learn the inner mechanisms of imbuing items with magic was a natural conclusion. She invents a design for her leg that is far more cost efficient when utilizing the magic she's harvested -- and much like Pig and his Cleaver, Riot's augmentations go through many iterations.

• That isn't to say Riot doesn't tinker with her own Cleaver's design. Through idle studying, and various enlightening trips through the Ashfall Waste and the Shifting Expanse, Riot creates other Harvesting weapons, too -- which are expertly used in the hands of her Needlers and Breakers within the Hunting Corpse. When the designs are perfected (or an otherwise acceptable level of craftsmanship,) Riot willingly shares these inventions with her family.

• Riot's travels across Sornieth give her many opportunities to run into her family -- if she's privy to the knowledge on where to find them. Arguably the most sentimental of the nest, Riot doesn't let her Search or her Hunting get in the way of visiting her siblings when the opportunity presents itself.

• Riot is aware of who her charge is just as early as her recognizing that she has the calling -- it was a matter of figuring out where the Plaguemother wanted her to be.

• The intuitive pull carried her around Sornieth, pushing her into more and more challenging circumstances and fights. And her travels enlighten her to the worldly insights of other clans and their customs. The opportunities to adapt and overcome were not lost on Riot -- she recognized the lessons that the Plaguebringer eased her into, or abruptly dropped her in.

• Deeper spiritual wisdom leads Riot ever closer to the understanding of balance between the Eleven. It becomes most apparent when conversing with Water dragons -- their concern and waning magic regarding their absent Father was enough to sympathize with. There was no feeling of conquest or opportunity in the Tidelord's absence. Indeed, The Sea of A Thousand Currents was a territory bordered by the most flights, yet the Tidelord's domain remained. The worry that rang in his worshipers' words felt like a resonant bell that answered back His Sister's sentiments. "Where did he go? Why is he gone? What is he searching for? What did he See?"

• In a longer eventuality, The Hunting Corpse settles in the Rotting Woods. Their base of operations. While Riot still participates in Collapses, her older years grant her the privilege of finding where the Plaguemother wished for her to settle... and to aide in the struggles happening beneath the Wasteland.
