Zana

Lore & Background

Zana was once a member of the Vaal people, trapped within the Atlas of Worlds. She is the daughter of the Elder, a cosmic entity of immense power. Far from being an exile from a pre-cataclysm world, her origins are deeply tied to the Vaal and the Atlas. She served as a guide for exiles venturing into the Atlas, offering map device usage and the ability to modify maps with various mods. After the Siege of the Atlas, Zana went missing and is presumed dead or lost within the Atlas, having vanished during the conflict with the Maven and the Eldritch forces.
