Shadowfell

A tall, graceful Shadar-kai woman with ashen skin and long, flowing black hair that seems to blend into the shadows around her. Her eyes are a piercing silver, reflecting the sorrow of her past. She wears a flowing gown made of dark, shimmering fabric that appears to shift and change like the shadows themselves, adorned with intricate patterns that resemble the ruins of her lost city. A delicate silver crown rests upon her head, a remnant of her royal heritage.

Gentle and calm, but there is a sorrow that pervades her every word. She has made peace with her fate but is desperate to help others find closure. Alira often offers cryptic advice and occasionally gives out pieces of lost history to those she deems worthy. Alira could become an invaluable ally for adventurers looking to understand the deeper truths of the Rift or the Shadowfell’s origins. However, some of her knowledge is deeply unsettling, and uncovering these truths may reveal dangerous secrets about the nature of the planes themselves.

Alira was once a mortal queen, ruling over a vibrant city that was destroyed in a cataclysmic event. After her death, she found herself trapped in the Shadowfell, her soul unable to move on. In this twilight realm, she has become a powerful and enigmatic figure, known for her unique ability to glean lost memories from the very walls of her ruined city. Though she is haunted by the memories of her lost kingdom, Alira has embraced her role as a keeper of forgotten knowledge, finding a semblance of peace in her eternal existence. Alira seeks to uncover the true nature of the Shadowfell and its connection to the Material Plane. She believes that the key to both her release and the release of many trapped souls lies hidden in the forgotten past. She may send adventurers on quests to recover lost memories or ancient artifacts.
