Yyria is a fan-made hero concept for Paladins.
We have another idea for you for a new character in Paladins – this time it’s a very interesting and refined concept of a supporting heroine who is an archer. Do you like Yyria?
The author of the concept is Alexis Pflaum. You can see the higher resolution drawings of Yyria here: click. On her profile on artstation you will also find e.g. sketches of the character we’re going to discuss, icons of her abilities in larger size or the initial concept of the next character invented by Alexis.

Plot
In the far corners of the Kingdom there are places that have long lost their history. These regions hide many myths and secrets that are better left unknown. But one place, far removed from civilization, heralds the dawn of destiny.
For more than an eternity, Wispwood has served as a bridge between mortality and the other world. There is a temple from the ancient past where a race known as the Aurivar dealt with the wisps – primal entities that are as old as time. No one knows when the Aurivar made contact with the beams or why. The only thing outsiders know is that wherever there is great goodness or a vengeful villain, beams will appear there.
All signs of love or evil will be judged by beams, the virtuous will be blessed, the violent villains will be slain, and unlawful actions will be forgiven according to the will of these enigmatic entities. Those who gain their prosperity will be pardoned by Tranquil Wisp Ryalis for eternal peace of mind, while those who choose the path of evil will be haunted by Malevolent Wisp Zyrett to meet their end. Regardless of the solution, everyone is visited by these beams with the arrival of a mysterious hooded figure. The Arrow of Destiny, the Harbringer of Fates, the Weaver of the Wisps – wherever she appears, tyrants fall, nations are liberated and prophecies come true. The true motives of this figure and the divine beings she serves have forever remained a mystery, yet those who witnessed her presence are forever changed.
As the struggle in the Realm escalated with its greatest champions, the beams called the arrows one more time – to level the conflicting sides and leave a legacy of harmony. In a call for vengeance, Yyria responded.
“The beams have seen the destiny of the Kingdom. A destiny in which each of us participated in creation. I will ensure that it will come true and everyone will see the truth.”
