Lady Kristryl Brightsilver
Lady Kristryl is the second child of the Brightsilver family, and in her parents view a feckless and fey youth given to wandering aimlessly.

The following is a Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition theme, taking inspiration from Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones.

In the dark places, there are those who seek power not from the elements but from death itself. Some of these descend into madness and are lured into the worship of Orcus, but others unlock arcane secrets and learn to draw on necrotic powers. Some call these people Necromancers, others call them madmen, they do …
