Eira Sigridsdottir was born in the Lands of the Linnorm, in the Horn Quarter/District of Kalsgard, and home to the farmers. Her mother’s people grew barley and beans and raised sheep, goats, geese and chickens on the land. Her mother, Sigrid was a beautiful human Ulfen woman. Her dalliance with an Elf; her father, who had come from the Oak quarter was brief – only a night – and then he had disappeared. It was then Eira was conceived and Sigrid became a young, unwed mother, living on her own (Sigrid’s parents had died the winter before when the great snows fell).
When Eira was born, it was obvious the girl child was different from the usual Ulfen of the region. She had a fine down of platinum blonde hair and large, ice-blue eyes. Her ears were pointed, like an Elf’s, but with a more gracious slope and height. Her flawless pale skin had a vibrant, vital glow. The local seer, Eskil, vessel of the Stag Lord, proclaimed the child was touched by the gods and a fair omen. Such a birth was seen as a blessing to the farmers of Kalsgard.
When Eira was five years old, sea-raiders from beyond the Steaming Sea had come to their farm – slain her mother, taken what they could and abducted Eira. News of the child’s distinction and rarity had reached down into Varisia and beyond. Such a god-touched child could fetch a great sum of gold coin.
The raiders landed in Riddleport in Varisia and it was there Eira spent a year until she garnered enough interest for her captors to strike a handsome deal. She was placed on another ship, the Black Pearl, destined for Port Peril in The Shackles. On board this ship were also a number of warriors and a holy man from the Mwangi Expanse – transported to Port Peril to be sold in the slave markets.
Unfortunately, the storms and winds from the Eye of Abendego proved too difficult and the ship was torn apart on the coastline off the Sodden Lands. The Mwangi men and Eira were thrown overboard during the disaster. Eira was saved by one of the silent warriors. Once ashore, she was taken with them inland, deep into the Mwangi Jungles. It was there that the Mwangi Shaman, Mosa Oza Thirty Trees, adopted the child for she reminded him of the Wild Elves, yet different for her fair colouring. He, and the village of warriors, taught the child their tongue, Polyglot, and how to use a longspear and light crossbow. Her Shaman father showed her how to heal the wounds of the villagers. Mosa Oza Thirty Trees regaled her with stories of the spirits and their powers – how to commune with the spirits of the trees and animals and to harness the energy of living things around them. Eira excelled and made her adoptive father proud. Her name became Eira of the Thirty Trees. Her lessons came from the world at large – watching, listening and trying/acting.
When Eira was twenty one years of age, Mosa Oza Thirty Trees had a keen vision, and knew it was his northern daughter’s time to leave and find her true place in the world. Eira set off and travelled the lands as carefully as she could; attempting to hide her true ancestry from those who would profit from her bloodline. She practiced what her adopted father had taught her and within years she formed a powerful bond with a Life spirit. It was then her spirit animal came to her; a tiny, cunning fox whom she named Runa. Together they communed and Eira’s spirit magic began to blossom.
It was in the port city of Eleder in Sargava, where she learned of a ship, The Kaava Cutter, making a journey to deliver new colonists to the small Sargavan colony of Pridon’s Hearth. And so she met with the recruiters, signed up and set course for the settlement; hoping to see where the Spirits would lead her.

Spirit Magic Spells: Detect undead (1st), lesser restoration (2nd), neutralize poison (3rd), restoration (4th), breath of life (5th), heal (6th), greater restoration (7th), mass heal (8th), true resurrection (9th).
Hexes
A shaman who chooses the life spirit can select from the following hexes.
Curse of Suffering (Su): The shaman causes a creature within 30 feet to take more damage from bleed effects and causes its wounds to heal at a slower rate. When the cursed creature takes bleed damage, it takes 1 additional point of bleed damage (even if the bleed is ability damage). Furthermore, when the target is subject to an effect that would restore its hit points, that effect restores only half the normal amount of hit points. This curse lasts for a number of rounds equal to the shaman’s level. A creature affected by this hex cannot be affected by it again for 24 hours.
After the duration ends, the creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 24 hours.
Deny Succor (Su): The shaman can place this hex on a single creature within 30 feet. The target does not heal damage from cure spells and does not benefit from any spells or effects that remove conditions. This effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 the shaman’s level. A successful Will saving throw negates this effect. Whether or not the saving throw is successful, the creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 24 hours.
Enhanced Cures (Su): When the shaman casts a cure spell, the maximum number of hit points healed is based on her shaman level, not the limit imposed by the spell. For example an 11th-level shaman with this hex can cast cure light wounds to heal 1d8+11 hit points instead of the normal 1d8+5 maximum.
Life Link (Su): The shaman creates a bond between herself and another creature within 30 feet. Each round at the start of the shaman’s turn, if the bonded creature is wounded for 5 or more hit points below its maximum hit points if the bonded creature’s hit points are reduced to –5 or fewer, it heals 5 hit points and the shaman takes 5 points of damage. The shaman can have one bond active per shaman level. The bond continues until the bonded creature dies, the shaman dies, the distance between her and the bonded creature exceeds 100 feet, or the shaman ends it as an immediate action. If the shaman has multiple bonds active, she can end as many as she wants with the same immediate action.
Life Sight (Ex): The shaman can see the states of life, death, and general health of those around her. When she uses this ability, she can tell whether or not creatures within 30 feet of her that she can see are living, wounded, dying, or dead. She can also tell if those creatures are confused, disabled, diseased, nauseated, poisoned, sickened or staggered. At 12th level, when using life sight she is able to sense all nearby living creatures; this functions similar to blindsight, but only for living creatures within 30 feet of her. The shaman can use this ability a number of rounds per day equal to her shaman level, but these rounds do not need to consecutive.
Spirit Animal :The shaman’s spirit animal appears to be a beautiful and very healthy version of its species, and seems especially vibrant and full of life. Her animal companion gains fast healing 1; if the spirit animal already has fast healing, instead its fast healing increases by 1.
Spirit Ability: A shaman who chooses the life spirit as her spirit or wandering spirit gains the following ability.
Channel (Su): The shaman can channel positive energy like a cleric, using her shaman level as her effective cleric level when determining the amount of damage healed (or dealt to undead) and the DC. The shaman can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 1 + her Charisma modifier.
Greater Spirit Ability
A shaman who chooses the life spirit as her spirit or wandering spirit gains the following ability upon having access to the greater version of that spirit.
Healer’s Touch (Su): The shaman gains a +4 bonus on Heal checks. As a standard action, the shaman can move up to half her speed and touch up to six dying creatures. Each creature is automatically stabilized without the need of a Heal check.
True Spirit Ability
A shaman who chooses the life spirit as her spirit or wandering spirit gains the following ability upon having access to the true version of that spirit.
Quick Healing (Su): The shaman calls upon her spirit to enhance the speed of her healing abilities. This ability allows her to channel positive energy or cast a cure spell as a swift action. The shaman can use this ability a number of times per day equal to her Charisma modifier.

What Do They Look Like?
The grey fox has a deep-chested body with four short, powerful legs, an ideal physique for speed and endurance. Its muzzle is elongated, its ears are pointed, and its tail is bushy. Grey foxes have extremely sharp, curved claws that allow them to dig dens, capture their prey, climb trees, and protect themselves from predators.
From nose to tail, grey foxes measure between 32 and 46 inches, with the tail contributing to over a third of their length. Grey foxes usually weigh about seven to thirteen pounds, with an average height of 12 inches up to their shoulders. Males are only slightly larger than females. The grey fox is covered with a salt-and-pepper colored coat that contains a combination of grey, black, white, and red fur. As its name suggests, the grey fox is mostly grey on its body, face, and belly. The red fur on the sides of its face, neck, ears, legs, and on parts of its tail sometimes causes this species to be confused with the red fox. The black and white fur is blended throughout the grey fox’s coat, but its cheeks, muzzle, and throat are all white, and the tip of the tail is black.
What Are Their Senses Like?
The grey fox has 42 teeth, with four of them being sharp canine teeth. This animal has dark eyes with oval-shaped pupils and is known to have keen eyesight, even in dim lighting. A grey fox’s sense of hearing and its sense of smell are even stronger than its eyesight. These senses serve as advantages for a fox when hunting for prey and when detecting danger. In addition, the grey fox has scent glands on its face, on the pads of its feet, and just inside the anus. The grey fox uses the scent glands inside the anus to mark its territory and to attract potential mates, just as a domesticated dog uses these scent glands.
What Kind of Tracks Do They Make?
Grey foxes have extremely sharp, curved claws that allow them to dig dens, capture their prey, climb trees, and protect themselves from predators. Sometimes the claws can be seen in the tracks, but other times they are not visible. Their tracks are small, usually less than two inches long, and they reveal four toes. These paw prints are symmetrical with the two toes in the centre lying slightly ahead of the toes that lie on either side.
Diet
The grey fox is a solitary hunter, and eats a lot of different things such as berries, nuts, birds, insects, rabbits and other rodents. The grey fox is an omnivore, a meat and plant eater.
