Thea

Backstory

Thea was once a scribe in Charlun's court, cataloging forbidden grimoires in the Royal Archives. When she discovered evidence that the Crimson Circle had manipulated Charlun's rise to power, she stole a wand of warding—a relic meant to counter blood magic—and fled into the borderlands. Now a sellsword scholar, she trades magical knowledge and wand-craft for coin and shelter, secretly hoping to understand the Crown's curse before it consumes Vethis entirely. She trusts no faction, but she fears what will happen if the wrong hands claim the throne.
