Valery of Bastengar is a character in Atlas Fallen. She is the missing sister of Khendra of Bastengar.
Background[]
Ten years ago, Valery was one of the leaders of the Knights of Bastengar. She was very close with her sister Khendra of Bastengar and their leader Arif. One day, she found an ancient weapon known as the Gauntlet. With it, the Knights finally stood a chance against Thelos and The Thousand Year Queen. They enacted a rebellion against the Queen from their fortress in Caladrias: The Forbidden Lands. However, Valery was unable to connect to Nyaal, causing the Gauntlet to become unstable and explode. This not only destroyed the Knight's fortress but killed thousands of their forces, ending the rebellion instantly. While Valery miraculously survived, the Gauntlet broke into over a dozen shards across Atlas.
Valery spent the next decade obsessing over what happened and what she could do to be able to connect with Nyaal to free humanity. This ultimately led Arif to abandon the Knights and caused Khendra to become bitter towards the Gauntlet. Valery later went on an expedition to the Sunken City of Lothville to learn more but went missing. Diaries pages of her findings were left behind throughout the area.
With only a piece of the Gauntlet, she eventually traveled to Monsalar: The Wildlands. Valery later managed to find a hidden cliffside in the region and learned that Nyaal's prison was located in The Black Alms. Her journey proved to have taken too much of a toll on her body, however, and she passed away. Valery's remains was later discovered by the Gauntlet bearer and Arif. After mourning over her death, Arif brough her body to Khendra where she was subsequently cremated. Afterwards, Khendra held her funeral in The Black Alms and spread her ashes.
