The Riven Lands

A female Tiefling pirate captain with unnervingly graceful and lithe form, pale silver skin, symmetrical striking features, elegant vestigial horns curving back from her brow, cold phosphorescent green glowing eyes, and a smile revealing too many sharp, blackened teeth. She moves with fluid, silent grace, chilling the air around her.

Xylia is a master of deceit and psychological manipulation, utterly cold and calculating, viewing social interactions as a game of influence and control. She has no concept of honor or loyalty, only opportunity and leverage, corrupting with her mind and delighting in watching rivals' lives unravel through subtle manipulations.

Captain Xylia, known as "The Sibilant," rose from the shadows of the fractured Riven Lands to command the feared pirate ship Shadow-Veil. Born a Tiefling, her pale silver skin and vestigial horns mark her as one touched by fiendish ancestry, a stigma she turned into a weapon. She mastered the art of psychological manipulation and deceit, using her cold intellect to navigate the treacherous underworld of illicit trade. Xylia's ship is a mobile hub for smuggling cursed artifacts, rare drugs, and damning secrets, making her a key player in the dark economy of the Riven Lands. She trusts no one, relying solely on her cunning and the silent loyalty of her crew, and she delights in unraveling the lives of her rivals through subtle, venomous influence.
