Sister Nebras

Sister Nebras was a witch and a member of the Synod of Stygg, a group of mages, witches, and warlocks opposed to the rule of the Lady in the Lands of Fist. She was described as an old woman with ropy grey hair, gnarled hands, joints swollen and crooked, dressed in a threadbare skirt and shawl. Nebras was a keeper of the Tiles, which she kept in a pouch. She was often seen knitting.Stonewielder, Chapter 4, UK PB p.245-250
As a witch she was skilled in the manipulation of chthonic spirits and the lingering wells of power at ancient shrines, cairns and ritual sites. In her youth she had travelled abroad, visiting the Malazan Empire. She considered herself a hedge-witch in comparison to the power of true Malazan magi.Stonewielder, Chapter 7, US HC p.365-366

Nebras gathered with the rest of the Synod near Ebon to discuss a recent proliferation of signs and portents and to consider their future course of action. Brother Jool asked for her tiles which she gave to him and he cast them, predicting a season of destruction. When Nebras retrieved the tiles afterwards, she found one representing the Stormriders which Jool had missed.Stonewielder, Chapter 4, US HC p.183-184
All of the Synod, excepting its leader Totsin, chose to act by supporting the Jourilan Army of Reform in its rebellion against the imperial rulers of Jourilan. Nebras stayed close to the army's spiritual leader Beneth helping to preserve his life as he lay dying. Her vigil was interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Totsin, who betrayed her and used the power of the Lady to slay her.Stonewielder, Chapter 7, US HC p.365-366
