Korestene is a member of the Berenethtelli royal clan. She is Kerenna's niece and, like her aunt, is a powerful warrior devoted to Humakt. If both of them survive long enough, she will likely come to admire Erenlanth and act as sort of mentor to him.

Foreshadowing[]
Before her formal introduction, a clan member will mention that Humakt has called Korestene. There are two versions of this announcement: one given by Kerenna, another by any clan member if Kerenna is dead.
| “ | My young niece Korestene has heard the song of the carrion birds and may have been chosen by my god, Humakt Death-Dealer. Her parents naturally wish to turn her from this difficult path. Yet the girl is Humakt’s to take should he deem her worthy. I will neither encourage or discourage her, but will guide her as the Sword God wills. Because we accept the dark with the light, this sign of favor grants us magic. | ” |
— Kerenna | ||
| “ | One of our young girls, Korestene, heard carrion birds sing to her. “You will travel in the footsteps of your dead aunt, Kerenna,” they say. Her parents lament; they do not wish her to abandon them for Humakt Death-Dealer. Yet this will happen, as sure as harvest follows planting. When she is of age, she will serve the Sword God. | ” |
