Livia

Livia is a human necromancer hero in Eye of the North. She is a member of the Shining Blade.

Lore
From the manual:
 * ''While the war between the White Mantle and the Shining Blade tears apart her Krytan homeland, Livia risks everything to keep her people safe. She joined the Shining Blade to protect them; she killed to defend them. Now freed from the control of the deadly Mursaat, Kryta struggles to survive, its leaders destroyed and its population beset by civil disorder.
 * Tasked by her superiors with finding a way to end the civil war, Livia has traveled into the Depths. She seeks a weapon of power—anything that will keep Kryta safe. And she is willing to give her life for it... as well as the lives of those around her.

Locations
Tarnished Coast
 * Vlox's Falls

Recruitment
You recruit her by completing the "Finding Gadd" quest and its follow-up quest "Finding The Bloodstone".

Armor
Livia starts with basic Necromancer armor, labeled as Shining Blade Armor but with its own unique appearance. The headpiece provides +1 in the attribute of the rune applied to it. Her armor rating ranges from 3 to 60, depending on her level, but is effectively 60 as you acquire her at level 20.

See the armor gallery for details on her armor art.

Dialogue
Idle Quotes:
 * "There's nothing like a love song to give you a good laugh."
 * "I may work for the Shining Blade, but I'm not like Evennia. I'm not pure and I'm not kind. I used to be shining...but I got tarnished."
 * "Every man I meet wants to protect me. I can't figure out what from."

Battle Quotes:
 * "The best goodbyes are like a knife in the dark: short, simple and to the point."
 * "Why do I fight so hard for Kryta? You might as well question why I breathe. If I stop breathing, I'll die. If I stop fighting my enemies, my world will die."
 * "I have the perfect weapons right here: your body, your soul. Both can be convinced to work against you...."
 * "Necromancy's just another way of asking someone to stick with you. Whether they want to or not."
 * "I hate an enemy that dies easily. The least you could do is make it interesting."
 * "I've killed a lot of people. Don't take it personally."
 * "You're very lucky. Scars are sexy."
 * "The dead are often happier that way."
 * "Evil is obvious, but only in retrospect."

Trivia

 * Livia is likely named after the Roman Empress Livia Augusta née Drusilla.


 * The "weapon of power" she seeks is probably the Scepter of Orr as she asks about it during the begining of Genius Operated Living Enchanted Manifestation.
 * She is also seen with it in the cutscene following the death of The Great Destroyer.
