Her eyes are large, almond shaped and glint like polished jet. Her voice is a musical croon with an archaic speech pattern. ^[1a]

History

She led a warband that saved Tarion Arlor from Rotbringers so that he could send a message to Neave Blacktalon. ^[1a]

She was part of the great host of Sylvaneth that Neave and Wytha led agains the stronghold of Lord Ungholghott. ^[1d]

Personality

Even her mistress considers her spiteful ^[1c]

Quotes

Harming you? Why that would we do? Safehold your flesh from the rotling's touch, just about the turn and strike you down? No caprice has its roots and its branches both, and neither reach such length. ~Ithary to Tarion Roggen.[1a]
