Ariel

An elderly woman with stark white hair pulled back in a loose pony tail and wrinkled skin. While she is arthritic and slow, her mind is sharp and she has a clear memory of the stories of her youth, the tales of the Meswati and the Great War

She is a member of the Shu’anra tribe, who make their home far to the north, in the Forest of Dreams, between theBlackwater Fens and the Sentinel Range.

She knows many stories of the northern Deno’qai: how they were scattered during the Great War; how her tribe, the Shu’anra, survived the Great War but fled into the Sentinel Range during the Blood Years in the face of hobgoblin armies and Dragons; how her great-grandmother used to tell her tales of dragonfire raining from the sky when no where was safe; how when she was very young, many people ventured forth from the marginal lands the tribe had hidden in, seeking a better life, and how her extended family ended up in the Elderwood.

She also knows many tales from the north about the Tanshi: about Yezali, who protected the people of the far north, even further north than her tribe’s territory, and other Tanshi called the Meswati who were lost, with Yezali, in the Great War. The stories of the lost Tanshi, she says, are still told in whatever enclaves of Deno’qai survive beyond the Blackwater Fens, in the northern reaches of the Forest of Dreams.
