Lorna of the Lanterns

Lorna never knew her parents, she was left in a basket on the doorstep of a Zarthus temple and raised by the local Lanterns (who always take in basket babies). She grew up in the Barony of Demos with many loving surrogate parents who taught her many things, including how to sing and play the lyre.   Growing up raised by priests and priestesses of moon god, Zarthus,, (also known as the Lanterns), it surprised no one that Lorna opted to become a Lantern of Zarthus' Light herself.   Zarthus embodies the values of justice, tight-knit communities, self-reliance and free creative expression, especially in the realm of music. Lorna can channel Zarthus' power by singing or playing the lyre.   She can make herself or her allies modestly stronger or she can increase the damaging power of weapons or damage resistance of armor by a modest margin.
