Xyrthia



Xyrthia is a long time resident of Akashat whose past is unknown. She claims to have been in Akashat, "a long time", and rumors persist that she may have always been within the city. Those who directly ask about her past, walk away with more questions than answers. The Mistress is a rune coated statuesque sorceress known for her odd mannerisms of speech; often referring to herself as -we-in the plural form. Xyrthia's motives are highly suspect and she claims to be the agent, servant, or perhaps even slave of some 'other' entity referred to only as 'SHE' or 'HER'. In Akashat Xyrthia attempts to carry out this mysterious entity's alien will. This often leads her to luring slaves, citizens, Masters and Mistresses away, for short periods of time, to some place known as the in-between. In her temporal affairs, Xyrthia strives to maintain order in Akashat, detesting any changes which might upset her own personal goals. The sorceress claims she cannot lie, but any who have dealt with her know full well that Xyrthia is quite adept at interpreting truth as she sees fit. Currently Xyrthia is the Public Librarian of Akashat. While holding the position of Arcanus Consuar to the Tower, she embarked on a Great Work. Originally her plan was to kill an Akashat God and replace it with the SHE that Xyrthia serves. Events however had her change plans and she slayed an aquatic God to try and prop up the Dream Weaver. The God died, but the dreams of the aquatic people were not enough. While asleep and recovering from her Great Work, Xyrthia was elected Cardinal, and upon waking promised the city would pay for its foolishness in choosing her. The city survived Xyrthia's curses, but perhaps Xyrthia's work is not done?
