Description. A tall, gaunt human woman in her late thirties with prematurely white hair, sharp blue eyes, and an intensity that makes people uncomfortable. She wears the Vigil’s black fur-and-bone armor and carries twin Morrhaelite short swords. Ironveil is brilliant, haunted, and driven. She has sent scouts into the Hollowdeep who haven’t returned, each loss weighs on her. She is planning a major expedition and knows it might be a death march.
GM Notes
Campaign Role. Military ally in Act IV. She leads the expedition into the Hollowdeep. Her tactical brilliance and her willingness to sacrifice are both assets and dangers.
Roleplay Notes. Speaks rapidly, precisely, like someone who has rehearsed what she’s going to say. Makes eye contact that lasts a beat too long. Keeps a private journal of the names of everyone she’s lost. Will not send anyone into danger she wouldn’t face herself.
