Zaida Levau (The Shadow Sister)

Some call her a priestess; others just sense something old about her. She carries herself with quiet certainty, as if she’s been through worse than anything the road ahead might offer.

She speaks in riddles, reads bones and tide patterns like others read books, and keeps strange charms in her satchel—bits of carved driftwood, dried herbs, and tiny woven dolls that smell faintly of salt and smoke.

She’s heading to Saltmarsh now, not just for a quest that will toss a bit of coin her way, but claims she has unfinished business in the region. She doesn’t speak about the details, only that it’s personal and long overdue.

She worked for years as a spirit-worker, tending to those the temples overlooked or those with unconventional needs, using unusual methods - whispers on smoke, charms, even curses Not everyone trusted her, but those who needed her came anyway.
