Iska Vellamir

Elf, Idle noble scion

Soft, unhurried, faintly amused by everything, as if already privately decided how the story ends.

The Family Tomb. They want guides willing to follow a map into danger with no promise of profit, only the destination itself.

Why It Was Hidden. They want someone to quietly ask why the family's been paying to keep the tomb's location secret, without alerting the family.

Appearance

Barely into adulthood but preternaturally composed, dressed comfortably rather than richly. Carries a rolled map tube like a walking stick.

The map leads to a sealed tomb the family has quietly paid to keep hidden for three generations, for reasons Iska hasn't asked about.

Traces the map's edge with one finger while thinking

Never finishes a meal, always leaves the last bite untouched

Bored of comfort

Unnervingly calm about danger

A remarkable death is the only inheritance worth leaving.

The map was left by an ancestor who vanished chasing the same destination; Iska intends to finish the journey, fatally if need be.

Boredom has made them reckless with other people's lives, not just their own.
