Vel Vera

Vel Vera is a spirit local to the city of Ayrith, said to be the guardian of its famous fireflies. Very little concrete information is known about her. She is believed to be friendly, though shy, and poses no threat to the populace. The locals, for their part, strongly oppose any deeper investigation into Vel Vera, believing that if she wanted more of her nature revealed, she would've done so long ago. Though aloof and rarely in contact or even seen by Imperial, rumours are that she was in a relationship with the famous artist Sapphira Starfield.
The locals long ago have constructed a small shrine in the city, dedicated to her, and often leave little offerings to her, hoping to gain her blessing. For meeting her, it is said, during a nighttime stroll brings about luck in love and joy in life.
