Syeria is a fierce waif with large bright green eyes. Her long, dirty blond hair is woven into tangled braids with carved wooden sprigs, silver rings, and bright bits of orange and blue ribbon. She's usually covered with a nasty mix of mud and moss that gives her skin and hair a green cast.

Syeira was born amidst the gnarled trees and hanging moss veils of the Graidmere Swamp in the Ustalav county of Sinaria - a difficult and dangerous environment where the folk are known as leechfolk or swampers.

Her clan worshipped Desna, but as a little girl, she was simultaneously delighted and horrified to hear the tragic tale of Curchalus and she dreamed of helping Desna to steal back his power from Lamashtu.

Always a wild, untamed spirit, Syeira loved to explore the swamp, frequently stealing away from her clan for hours and later days at a time.

One day, while exploring the swamp, a ten-year old Syeira heard a faint yip from an overgrown thicket nearby. Delving inside, she found an ancient shrine and next to it, an abandoned baby fox. Cradling the tiny animal in her arms, Syeira felt a peculiar thrill as something reached out and caressed her very soul.

At 15, Syeira was collecting herbs in the swamp when she heard angry voices from the shore of Lake Prophyria. With no hesitation, Syeira and Chalus sprung into action, saving Professor Lorrimor from certain doom. Extremely grateful, the Professor swore he would never forget her.

Over the next couple of years, the Professor and Syeira kept up an irregular correspondence made difficult by the remoteness of the Graidmere. Syeira helped Lorrimor as an agent around northeastern Ustalav, especially Graidmere and Karcau. A month ago, Syeira received a letter directing her further south and east than she had ever been before. Lorrimor sought an alliance with Lord Garus of Carrion Hill and asked that Syeira help to assist him as an agent in the city.

Where do you come from?

"I vas born deep in the Graidmere Swamp. My people own the swamps. I grew up in dee Grey Ghost Clan, but most the ignorant folk call us dee leechfolk or swampers.

That medallion you wear, I haven't seen that symbol before, what does it represent?

Syeira's hand reaches up and begins idly fingering the gold holy symbol that hangs from her neck. She whispers "Dis be the symbol of Curchalus. My people follow dee ways of Desna. I do too, but I hold an even more special part of me bein' for Curchalus. Lamashtu stole the beasts away from him and they say he died. I don't think so. I think he's still out there and I want to bring the beasts back to him.
