The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

A striking Redguard woman in her late twenties, with smooth, bronze-toned skin and an effortless elegance. Her dark, tightly coiled hair is worn in a high, regal bun wrapped in golden thread, with a few artfully loose curls framing her sharp cheekbones. Her warm, deep brown eyes are inviting and observant, touched by a quiet intensity. She wears flowing ceremonial robes of Dibella’s priesthood: deep red silks lined with gold, draping gracefully over her tall, slender frame. Around her neck hangs a golden amulet of Dibella, gleaming with reverent care.

Anwen is serene, insightful, and composed—though there’s a steel core beneath the silks. She speaks softly, but with purpose, each word carefully chosen to inspire, guide, or gently challenge. Her faith in Dibella is genuine, but her interpretation of the goddess’s domain extends beyond beauty or pleasure—it embraces truth, emotional intimacy, and the power of compassion as a form of strength. She is not naïve to the harshness of Markarth or the cruelty beyond the temple’s walls; she simply chooses to be unmoved by it. To novices, she is a mentor. To fellow priestesses, a quiet pillar. And to outsiders who meet her gaze, Anwen is the type of person who makes you question whether your soul has been seen… and whether you’re ready to be known.

Anwen came to Markarth from Hammerfell, drawn not by politics or trade, but by a calling—one whispered to her through dreams and visions she believed were from Dibella herself. Her arrival at the Temple of Dibella caused a stir; foreign-born priestesses were rare, and many doubted her devotion. But Anwen quickly proved herself—not through charm, but through discipline, insight, and a powerful spiritual presence that even the older priestesses respected. Over time, she rose to become one of the temple’s inner sanctum caretakers, tending to the rituals, the novices, and the sacred relics with quiet reverence. Though she rarely leaves the inner sanctum, her influence reaches far. Anwen is often the final voice in choosing the Sybil of Dibella, and her word holds subtle but undeniable weight in the temple's internal hierarchy.
