Elira Frostwhisper
What Players Know
Section titled “What Players Know”Elira Frostwhisper is a fae-born gnome the party met in Icesyn, then a follower of Noite, the winter god. Peach vouched for her over Ember’s wariness, and she repaid that trust as a guide: she told Peach the god-weapon Sol sat inside the Syn tree, whose fruit compels truth or freezes you to death, and she knew a path into the cavern that avoided Alaric. By her own telling, her boundless curiosity had led her out of the faelands and into the cult’s grasp; she ate the Syn tree’s fruit and spent years under the Synners’ isolation and harsh teachings, dismissed by them as too weak to recruit others.
Renouncing Noite nearly killed her, until Peach pierced her with Sol and undid the winter god’s curse. Freed, she sailed with the party aboard the Valiant, an outcast finally among friends. Her farewell came with a parting gift: “Thanks for letting me be your cold friend. Many considered me an outcast. I always accepted it. You were cool, letting me see your airship and protecting me.”
She has since settled near New Moonshire, but the cold has not finished with her. Peach found her shivering in a blizzard, her old immunity to the chill simply gone, and Venatrixoberana’s gravest warning named her a target: Garthos Melantha, ascended and allied with Edmeera, hunts Peach, Orianna, and Elira.
