You see Lady Ashenath spindeth the Cabalist.
She appears to be a Sylvankind.
She appears to be young.  She has piercing golden eyes and nut brown skin.  She has waist length, ringleted ginger hair.  She has an aquiline nose and thin lips.
She has a thorny rose tattoo on her neck, and a tattooed symbol of Leya on her arm.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a gold-bound pale crystal choker, a gold ring, a soot-covered kodera shield, some calf-high black doeskin boots, some bloused red silk pantaloons, a gold-trimmed black silk sash, an oval-cut amethyst ring, an onyx lockpick case, some rolaren studded leather armor, a sunset red gold-laced bodice, a segmented silk components pack, an embroidered golden silk satchel, a black velvet cloak, a pair of gold hoop earrings, a feathered golden velvet cap, and a fresh flower.


You ask, "Where did you grow up?"

Ashenath says, "With the tribe of Leya."

You ask, "Really?"

Ashenath says, "I was rescued by 2 sisters"

Ashenath says, "from trolls that had kidnapped me and some of my kin. we were just a little older than toddlers."

You frown.

Ashenath says, "The sisters of the tribe didn't know where any sylvan villages were so they adopted us."

Ashenath says, "My mother is a giantkin empath named Delatio"

You say, "I was just talking to Matti about the Amazons."

Ashenath smiles.

Ashenath asks, "Matti know some of them?"

You say, "I believe she said.. Shadowkatt, is her sister."

Ashenath says, "Oh, that's right."

You say, "I've been attempting to find an Amazon to talk to, but with no luck so far."

You say, "But this is about you, not me."

You grin at Ashenath.

You rub your chin thoughtfully.

Ashenath says, "Well, I should have said, A tribe of amazons.."

Ashenath says, "The group that calls themselves The Tribe of Leya is different from my upbringing."

You ponder.

Ashenath says, "But I think that most amazons do follow Leya."

You nod to Ashenath.


You ask, "Where exactly were you raised?  Not in the Landing?"

Ashenath looks over at you and shakes her head.

Ashenath points south.

Ashenath says, "Theres areas t'ween where the giantkin and the humans live near the mountains south where Amazons live."


You ask, "How did you find out about Onoir?"

Ashenath says, "When I asked Brianus and Cassundera to foster Miralissa in the ways of being a paladin I later realized that I too agreed with the codes of Onoir."

Ashenath says, "I talked to Morgiest about it and learned quite a bit about myself. "

You smile.

Ashenath says, "At first I didn't think sorcerers could be paladins."

You rub your chin thoughtfully.


You ask, "What, and/or who, is most important to you in your life?"

Ashenath says, "Who.. that would be Miralissa"

Ashenath says, "And what.."

Ashenath says, "Being an example that the sorcerer profession is not evil. Through my example as a Paladin of Onoir."


You ask, "What's your biggest pet peeve?"

Ashenath says, "When people expect you to do something because they know your talents instead of asking you to do something."


You ask, "What's your favorite color?"

Ashenath smiles.

Ashenath says, "Aah it's black. I like Onyx except for the onyx scarabs."

Ashenath begins to twitch.

You shiver.

Locksure smiles at Ashenath.

Ashenath says, "But I like the look of the stone."

Ashenath says, "I'd like to learn how to carve it one day if the Gods see fit to let us carve. Wood and stone."


You ask, "Do you have any favorite metals?"

Ashenath says, "Another Irony. "

Ashenath says, "Mithril and yet there is one of my weaknesses to my locksmithing. Cannot woo the higher end mithril boxes beyond my picking skill."


You ask, "What training are you currently at?"

Ashenath says, "sixty fifth."

You applaud Ashenath.


You ask, "What kind of weapon do you prefer using?"

Ashenath says, "Disintegration."

You say, "Oh my."

Ashenath says, "But a dagger for defense."

You ponder.


You ask, "What's your favorite thing to do?"

Ashenath says, "I have a few hobbies. "

Ashenath says, "Locksmithing my most favorite, and playing my lute and casting runes."

Ashenath turns to face Locksure.

Ashenath asks, "I would like to learn to build locks and traps one day, wouldn't you?"

Locksure nods to Ashenath.

Ashenath says, "And lockpicks."

You rub your chin thoughtfully.

Locksure carefully says, "i think it would be fun to my friend"

Ashenath says, "That would also be a good artisan skill."


You ask, "Are you afraid of bugs?"

Ashenath says, "Not afraid."

Ashenath says, "Except onyx scarabs.. har har."

You grin.

Ashenath says, "but some bugs disgust me."

Ashenath says, "Not spiders or beetles though. just ones that look like worms. or centipedes."

You shiver.

You reach over and scratch your back.

You say, "Itchy just thinking about them."

You say, "Do you fear darkness?  In literal, and other, aspects."

Ashenath says, "No, I myself am a creature of darkness. The sorcery is the dark arts."

Ashenath says, "And the night does not fear me Ronan is our protector then."

Ashenath says, "And dark shadows only contain friends."

Ashenath tickles Locksure into laughing.

Locksure chuckles.

Locksure leans softly against Ashenath.

Ashenath smiles at Locksure.


You ask, "Do you think roltons are cute?"

You cock your head at Ashenath.

Ashenath laughs!

Ashenath says, "The hobgoblin shepherds couldn't make them cute if they dressed them up in ribbons."

You try hard not to grin.

Ashenath says, "their buck teeth would still stick out"


You ask, "Have you ever killed one?"

Ashenath says, "Aye."


You ask, "Did it ever make you feel bad?"

Ashenath says, "No, but if I do kill one I make sure it doesnt go to waste. "

You nod to Ashenath.

Ashenath says, "But sometimes if I'm out there in the field testing a wand they sometimes get the backlash."

You say, "It happens."

Ashenath says, "but better than ewaving the town."

You say, "True."

You rub your chin thoughtfully.


You ask, "When you were younger, did you pick up everything shiny that you found, and wear it?"

Ashenath says, "Not everything no but I think I picked up a hat or a sash or something once. "

Ashenath shrugs.

Ashenath says, "But lately critters have better loot."


You ask, "Out of your friends, and others you've known, who have left the lands, who do you miss the most?"

Ashenath says, "Uncle Brianus and Aunt Cassundera. and my pop."

Ashenath says, "Uncle Soulss gave me this when he told me my pop Irodanis was dead."

Ashenath taps a soot-covered kodera shield.

Ashenath rubs her eyes.

You frown.

Ashenath sighs.

You rub Ashenath.

Locksure rubs Ashenath tenderly.

Ashenath says, "See Locksure, our lives run parallel"

Ashenath nods to Locksure.

Locksure sighs.

Locksure nods to Ashenath.


You ask, "Where do you feel safest?"

Ashenath says, "Safest? "

You nod.

Ashenath says, "Icemule I guess. It's my home."

Ashenath says, "I know who I can count on up there."


You ask, "Do you ever eat mushrooms?"

Locksure shudders.

Ashenath says, "Theres a good stew I like at one of the eateries that has broth with it."

Ashenath says, "I don't eat meat, it conflicts with the senses. I have to be able to use my intuitive sight."


You ask, "Do you ever allow yourself to get, ah, tipsy?"


You cock your head at Ashenath.

Ashenath says, "Aye but not much more drunk beyond tipsy. again.. my sight."

Ashenath shrugs.


You ask, "What is the thing you would most like to have that you don't already?"

Ashenath smiles.

Ashenath says, "I wager most of your interview-ees have the hardest problem with this question."

You nod to Ashenath.

You say, "Some were unable to answer at all."

Ashenath nods.

Ashenath says, "I want to be known well and respected as an honorable member of my profession."

You rub your chin thoughtfully.

Ashenath says, "And a set of onyx runestones."

Ashenath giggles.

You grin at Ashenath.

You say, "That will be a fine accomplishment."
