Fara

Fara is a blacksmith and former Paladin who resides in Lut Gholein.

Biography
Fara was once a Paladin of the Hand of Zakarum, training in a temple in Eastern Kurast. As a young Paladin, she once helped Warriv. She abandoned the faith after learning of corruption and greed within the church. Establishing herself in Lut Gholein, she made a living selling and repairing armor for the city's guards and mercenaries, toiling under the desert sun.

In 1265, Lut Gholein came under siege by dark forces. A group of heroes pursuing the Dark Wanderer made their way into the town, and Fara lent them her aid. Their group included Warriv, but she saw no need to remind them of their past encounter, and doubted he remembered her. The rewards for her deeds (in her mind) would not come in this life. To her horror, the Dark Wanderer succeeded in releasing Baal, and she wished the heroes well as they continued their pursuit eastward.

In-game
Fara appears in of Diablo II. She is Lut Gholein's armorer, and like Akara, Atma, Ormus, Jamella and Malah, automatically replenishes the player's health and mana when they deal with her. If one's character is below level 15 she will only sell a few items, but will have a considerably wider selection at and after that level, including magical and socketed. Her prices, like all of Lut Gholein's shopkeepers, decrease as a reward for killing Radament.

Personality and Traits
While no longer of Zakarum, Fara carries forth the ideals of Order and Right, and holds true to the teachings of Akarat. She believes that despite the corruption of the church, his teachings in of themselves are pure and noble. She has a positive attitude and great inner strength, along with a sharp mind, with much knowledge of Sanctuary's ancient religions. However, while proud of her Paladin training, she maintains a humble facade, and refuses to discuss the reasons for her abandonment of the Church.

She has no love for brothels, and is dubious of mercenaries, stating that she cannot be loyal to those who are not loyal to themselves.
