Elara Voss

Backstory

Elara was raised in the libraries of the Merchant's Guild, where her mother served as an archivist. She learned to read maps, decipher old texts, and navigate the politics of knowledge—skills that made her invaluable to merchants seeking hidden routes and forgotten markets. A year ago, she discovered a fragmentary manuscript hinting at a lost monastery in the Highland Reaches, said to contain records that could reshape trade agreements across the kingdoms. Now she joins this caravan not for gold, but to verify the manuscript's truth and claim the knowledge before rival scholars or hostile powers do.
