Thalassara

Zagra is a tall, broad-shouldered orc woman, her green skin weathered and scarred from years of sea battles and tavern brawls. Her jet-black hair, streaked with gray, is usually tied in a tight braid or bun, practical for the fast-paced work of running the tavern. She wears sturdy, salt-stained leather armor under a heavy apron, with her signature silver tusk glinting when she speaks or laughs. Her eyes are sharp and amber, always scanning the room for any hint of trouble. She wears a collection of jewelry, each piece a reminder of a battle or deal made at sea.

Zagra is brash, confident, and unapologetically tough, but beneath her rough exterior lies a deep sense of honor and loyalty. She takes no nonsense from anyone and has an eye for sniffing out troublemakers before they even step foot in her tavern. Known for her direct manner and booming laughter, she’s also deeply empathetic, especially to those who've lived hard lives on the seas. While she’ll bark at her staff or patrons when rules are broken, she’s fiercely protective of them and the tavern, treating everyone like part of her floating family.

Zagra grew up as part of an orcish seafaring clan, where strength and leadership were the highest virtues. From a young age, she proved her worth, rising in the ranks as a fierce raider and later a captain of her own ship. However, after years of bloodshed and rough living, she desired something different, an empire of her own, built not through plundering but by uniting the diverse peoples of the sea in a place where they could share stories, forge alliances, and find solace.
