Zewthra (Female Verrick Kismet Witch) early rough sketch by Ryan Barger




A dwarfish woman with red-wine colored skin, her eyes; purple within black. Her long hair standing straight out like long black pine needles, her face contorted in a painfully blank expression. Her garb is like a patchwork of different colored pieces a different pattern on each piece (poke-a-dots, stripes, swirls, splotches, silhouettes, etc…) makes her look like some macabre doll.


Zewthra is autistic; her actions are always extreme, her facial expressions, mannerisms, and speech are usually in direct opposition to those actions. She was a gifted gambler and prankster in her youth before the autism imprisoned her, now she can perform only the most basic tasks except when in an extremely agitated state when her powers lash out at random. Zewthra registers only her father, witches, faen, humans and other verrik; with whom she is normally very compliant, she has a manic attack if confronted by non-witch litorians. She ignores almost all other creatures, unless they cause her harm, otherwise her mania comes at random. Zewthra values her father and the feeling of safety he has created around her, and fears her own power, but within her mind, she longs to be normal again. Though unable to express it, Zewthra understands her father’s finances even better than he does; she also still has friends at court. If cured she could become a powerful ally of the PCs.

History: (Delve Into Collective Memory, Gather Information or Knowledge verrik DC 15) all of Zewthra’s needs have been cared for by her father, ever since the accident, fearing being placed in the Haven of the Damned, they fled to Far-rough.


Secret: (Delve Into Collective Memory, Gather Information or Knowledge verrik DC 25) Zewthra killed a young litorian in a prank gone wrong; he was the son of a chieftain, and a runechild. Racked with guilt she chose to repress her power, rather than risk harming someone again, however this oppression of her powered cause unusual random changes in her thought patters resulting in her autism.
