Myla of the Orchids

Race: Half-Elf | Age: 39 | Class: Bard (College of Spirits) / Herbalist Role: Apothecary, Seer, and Whisperer of the Marsh Appearance: Slender and soft-spoken, Myla has luminous eyes tinged with violet and hair the color of deep river silt, often tied in orchid-laced knots. Her shop, “The Floating Bloom,” is built partly on dry land and partly over water — filled with hanging herbs, luminous mushrooms, and softly chiming wind-charms made from shell and bone. Personality: Gentle but eerie. Speaks in riddles or poetry when under the influence of her spirit-communing tinctures. Loved by locals for her healing, but distrusted by some for her necromantic leanings. Abilities & Lore: Can commune with the Whispering Marsh and interpret its sounds as language. Brews powerful elixirs from rare river herbs, including memory tonics, sleep draughts, and a feared truth-serum. Possesses a spirit mask carved from a bogwood tree struck by lightning — allows her to “speak” as one of the lost.
