Aerthalas

A female gnome necromancer with vibrant green hair that resembles moss, and deep-set, glowing purple eyes. She wears dark, tattered robes adorned with vines and thorns, and carries a staff made from twisted branches, topped with a glowing crystal that pulses with necromantic energy. Her skin is pale, almost sickly, and she has a faint aura of decay surrounding her.

Syrinx is cunning and ambitious, often seen as eccentric by her peers. She speaks with a soft, melodic voice, but her words can carry a chilling undertone. She is fiercely protective of her research and will go to great lengths to achieve her goals, often disregarding the moral implications of her actions. Her fascination with decay and death makes her both intriguing and unsettling to those around her.

Once a curious scholar of nature, Syrinx became obsessed with the decay that has spread across Aerthalas. She believes that the corrupted flora holds the key to harnessing the power of decay, and she seeks to weaponize it to spread the Withering further. Her studies have led her down a dark path, where she now communes with the spirits of the dead and the corrupted plants, seeking to unlock their secrets.
