Seeress Nyelthra

Intro Nyelthra was found swaddled in silver-threaded cloth, resting in a cradle of crystal at the heart of the Silent Hollow, a sacred cavern veiled in starlight and ice. No one saw her arrive—she simply was. The Frostborn mystics believed her a sign, for no child had ever been born during the Silent Solstice, a rare celestial event when both moons vanish from the sky and the auroras burn white-gold. Blind from birth, Nyelthra saw in ways others could not. She listened to the echoes in the snow and spoke in perfect clarity about events not yet lived. When she touched the ice, it whispered secrets. The ice elves of Frosthaven—reverent and wary—raised her in quiet solitude, allowing her communion with elemental spirits and the rare auroral beings that flickered across the sky. Nyelthra’s golden wings did not exist in her youth. They first emerged when she was fifteen winters old, during a harrowing night when The Darkness crept toward a sacred glacial grove. As she stood alone before the corrupted ground, her body trembling with cold and fear, she whispered a single plea into the sky—not for herself, but for the land to be spared. The stars didn't answer. But something deeper did. A radiant pulse surged from her spine, and from it, wings unfurled—not feathered for flight, but forged of light and memory. They blazed gold in the dark, warding back The Darkness for a single, miraculous night. Since that day, her wings only return when visions overwhelm her, or when sacred power stirs. She is a seer unlike any other: one born blind, crowned in celestial light, and burdened with visions that may one day save—or unravel—the world.
