Rothaide Lareine



Elven Priestess of Boldrei (7) / Void Disciple (2)


A strange and deadly illness has befallen the crew of the Eglantine (a cruise ship). Rothaide survived, and only because Lapérousse (a barge ship), came in time and was able to bring her safely aboard and save her. She was the on board priest assigned to do religious ceremonies (mostly marriage ceremonies), councilling, some diplomatic engagements, medical responsibilities and even sometimes food preparation, The cruise ship spends months sometimes to a year out at sea or in space that sometimes people develop some mental disorders. And it is Rothaide's job to fix them. Unfortunately, the kind of illness that befell the Englantine was beyond her capabilities to fix, so she quarantined herself at the ship's medic bay until she was rescued. From inside the medic bay, she was able to contact a distant discple of the void and arrange a rescue. A few days more she could have died as well. People blamed her for the mysterious malady which befell the Eglantine, having survived the ordeal. And she was constantly met with suspicous stares. Afraid that the situation might get worse, that it might turn into an uncontrollable mob out to burn her at the stake, she took employment a couple of months later. She was forced to find refuge under the employment to another notorious ship called the Ravenstorm captained by Devlin Lyrandar who doesnt seem to mind Rothaide's past.


Devlin's notes:

I was reluctant to take in a priestess of the hearthmother into my ship. This is a trading vessel, not a luxury cruise ship. But then Rothaide has proven herself to be a competent healer and priestess during times of emergency. She has been through a lot. Sometimes she carries the guilt and burdens of the past like a huge chain around her neck.
