To be written.

Sybil is a dwarf of a surprisingly light build, much more feminine than most dwavettes. She has pale skin and white/blond hair which is pulled back in an intricate bun. Her eyes are beautiful and green yet nothing in comparison to her large and kind smile, although a sad glint seems to reside in her eyes. The dwarvette wears a blue and white dress, a pick dangling by her belt and carries a backpack that seems overpacked.

Summary: Merchant indebted to a vengeful consortium head.

The last few years have been hard on Sybil Vekker. It all began when she learned about her father’s death in the Kodar mountains. She had last seen him when he came to their house in Magnimar to announcer her that soon they would be able to repay their debt to Niska and could live well for the rest of the days.

The news of his demise came from a group of adventures who had discovered that her father and his expedition had been stuck in the mountains and driven to madness and cannibalism by a wendigo. The blow was very hard on Sybil for all the members of the expedition were either family or childhood friends.

Thus, Sybil stayed in Sandpoint to cater to her jewelry shop. However, things got worst when Dorak, an ancient rival to her dad, came to claim her home and shop on the basis that her father had greatly indebted himself to his consortium to found his last expedition. Yet, the value of her estates was not enough to repay the debt so she had to employ herself to the dwarf. In doing so, she resettled to Janderhoff.

Throughout the following years, times were hard, due to an ancient enmity between Dorak and her father (see childhood background), her new boss would always send her on perilous jobs. First in the mines, then in Varisia as a travelling merchant. As she travelled, she had the chance to meet Niska Mvasthi. It is during these dark times that she promised to Niska to follow Koya if she ever went on a long trip.

Yet, it seems that this would never happen, for Dorak had grown tired of bullying her around and knew that a lifetime of services would never buy her freedom. Thus, he decided to send her on an impossible quest, go to fabled land of Tian-Xia and bring him back jewels that could only be found there. Whether she succeeded or died did not matter to him: either way he would get what he wants, money to repay the debt or her death.

As a last goodbye to Varisia, Sybil decided to head for Sandpoint, she had to explain to Niska that she could never fulfill her promise for she would herself go on a long perilous journey. As she arrived to Sandpoint, she learned that Niska had passed away. This only worsened Sybil’s condition, for she would have to break a promise (which was already demanding) made to a deceased woman (which truly made to whole thing horrific).

Summary: On how does Sybil learned the mining and merchant trade, became and alchemist and met Koya and Niska.

80 years ago:
Sybil was born in Magnimar from Silas and Seren Vekker. There she lived in a clan brought composed from family members who had left Janderhoff a few decades ago and ahd entered the precious stones and metals business. The family was quite successful.

50 years ago:
Times were good until Dorak (a powerful dwarf once betrothed to Sybil’s mother) came to town. Around this time, Seren felt sick. Her husband went to every priests and doctors. Unfortunately, Dorak had bribed them to overcharge for he wanted to shame Silas by being the one who would heal his wife. Luckily, Madam Mvasthi was in town. Refusing any payment from the clan, she took care of Sybil’s mother and brought her back to health. Unfortunately, she died in a freak accident a few weeks later.

46 years ago:
Silas came to find that the grief from living in a house that he live in with his wife for so long was too much and decided to relocate by building a small counter close to Magnimar. He ended up in Sandpoint without knowing it was the town where lived the Mvasthi. Niska’s presence only reminded him of the debt he owned her. From the grief of his wife’s passing and the ever remainder of the Mvasthi, Silas set himself upon repaying Niska’s kindness. For the remaining decades, he mined gold in extremely dangerous conditions. He would return to Sandpoint once a year to make sure the shop was still striving (now directed by a cousin) and to visit the Mvasthi to give his thanks and meagre savings.

As for Sybil, she found solace in forging a strong relation with her father. While she was still a young teenager (dwarwise) she spent a few years in Sandpoint, taken care off by her father’s cousin and learning to know the locals. She would spend much of her time helping the Mvasthi to whom she felt she own a debt. It is during this time that she met Koya. Although they had strongly differing personality, she could not bear being mean to the woman and so was always nice to her, however as Koya aged and Sybil stayed a young dwarf, they slowly drifter apart.

37 years ago:
As soon as Sybil came of age, she accompanied Silas on his expeditions, slowly learning the trade. It is during that time that she met an alchemist who had been hired to help the mining trade. From him, she learned how to use alchemy to enhance her senses and find good mining spots (as well as scout for gas leaks in the mines). During these times, she was mostly employed as a kind of scout, for she lacked the strength to mine per se.

30 years ago:
As Sybil worked, she realised that she could make the extraction of the ores much faster if she studied alchemy enough. Thus, she returned to Sandpoint hoping she would come up with a way of making the processing faster which would in turn help her father repay his debt faster. There, she sold the stones and ores that her father had mined.

Summary: Friendly, trustworthy, nice female dwarf (almost an oxymoron).

Sybil is as loyal as a dwarf can be (if not more) she puts the wellbeing of her friend, clan and family above all else. Promises are of outmost importance to her for they reflect her integrity and her clan.

Unlike most dwarves, Sybil is surprisingly friendly. She is always smiling and never gruff. This mostly comes from years of interacting with humans and trying to raise her father’s spirit.
