After nearly losing her life in a magical rivalry, she abandoned Luskan and sought a city where magic could be structured and responsibly guided. In Alexandria, she proved herself by stabilising volatile arcane surges during the refugee crisis, earning her place as the **Arcane Advisor**. > >**Council Role:** >- Oversees [[City of Alexandria]]’s magical infrastructure (Teleportation Circle, Wizard Tower, wards). >- Manages and regulates enchanters, artificers, and magic shops. >- Serves as the city’s first defence against arcane threats, from necromancy to extraplanar incursions. >- Bridges the often-contentious gap between divine healers and arcane practitioners. >**Quirks:** >- Collects fragments of shattered magical items, convinced they “carry echoes” of their history. >- Illusions flicker when she’s deep in thought, books, shadows, and even her own reflection may subtly shift. >- Has a meticulous habit of inscribing wards on parchment, tucking them into her robes “just in case.” > **Political Tensions:** >- Some distrust her Luskan heritage and former Arcane Brotherhood ties. >- Frequently clashes with clerics, advocating arcane solutions where they prefer divine. >- Viewed with suspicion by merchants like [[Dagna Stonevein]], who fear unchecked magic could disrupt trade.
