About Rhiannon Unwin

Background: In the same way that someone is destined to be a Paladin or might feel called to the vocation of Cleric, Rhiannon is a born scholar. Being raised under the crumbling ruins of the Thassilonian Empire caused her to develop an early curiosity for the history of Golarion.

Fiona, her mother, runs a bookstore in Magnimar’s Shore District. Books on the legacy of Thassilonian culture were her toys and best friends. Most of her childhood was spent in her room curled up in the company of a dusty old tome or scroll. Even before she knew the words, Rhia would stare at them for hours.

Rhia grew up as the weird hermit girl. When her mother forced her to go outside and play the only kind of “play” she could manage was exploring the streets for relics (that mostly turned out to be old garbage). The other children became as annoyed with her “relic” hunts as she became with their dismissive attitude about the wonders of the history around them.

Her father, Aeson the Elf, is a scholar in the Pathfinder society—he met her mother when hunting for an old text that he heard she had come by—he taught Rhia the Thassilonian language from a young age, along with Elven and Draconic. She joined the Pathfinder Society, in part, to be closer to her father, but also because it was the only thing that would make good use of her skills.

Rhia is the record keeper for the Pathfinder lodge in Magnimar, but she was sent out on an assignment for the Shallowtail Festival in Sand Point, mostly because she kept annoyingly talking about the event and the fire that burned the original church down (quoting facts and reciting other things she had read).

She was sent on a what should have been a distraction assignment to get her out of the office.
