## Life

### Pre-Campaign

Alessandra lost her parents at a very young age, and chose to dedicate her life to practice and prayer soon after. When Aodra was first being settled, there was need for someone to run the King's Hand chapel on the island, and she volunteered and travelled to the new town.

Alessandra was in charge of Ben's care when he was brought in by Kristor for healing his new affliction after his time alone at sea. She felt that she was making some progress with the boy, but Ben soon became violent and seriously injured one of the Hands who was caring for him. The hand, Samson's sister, had to be sent back to the mainland to care for her injuries. Following this, Kristor took his son to the lighthouse, and informed everyone that he had put an end to his suffering, despite Alessandra's disagreement with this aggressive action.

### Discussing Ben

The party arrives shortly after Koleta brought Lester's body to the chapel, and discuss what they have discovered with the two of them: namely that Ben was not dead, and that Kristor is missing. Mother Alessandra discusses her personal findings with the party, then invites them to spend the night here while she ruminates over the samples of Ben's body and Qil's silver ring.

### Explaining the Ring

When the party returns to the King's Hand after getting kicked out of Hangman's, Alessandra greets them and tells them that she has made some discoveries regarding the ring she was inspecting for Qil. She shares that the ring is very concerning to her, and that to use the magic properties of the ring, one must invoke the name of the god of vengeance, Cide. While she says that the ring doesn't seem to be cursed, she still wouldn't recommend using it, and isn't sure she wants to give the ring back to Qil until she has tried to remove the association with Cide from the ring. She also shares that Cide himself didn't actually create or enchant the ring, as that sort of godly item creation hasn't occurred in nearly a millennia.

### Graveyard Battle Aftermath

Alessandra emerges after the battle has concluded and demands to know what has happened. Qil tells her that he came outside to find the dead rising, and that the ring of Cide was also outside. She casts a spell from her book, and a golden thread springs off the pages and ripples out over the ground, disappearing around the front of the chapel before reappearing around the other side and connecting back to the start, reinforcing the protections of the chapel. She states that she is going to try to find Samson, as he is a gentle boy who spooks very easily when he is afraid, which she presumes is why he has gone missing from his night watch duties.

In the morning, she and Victory are praying at the altar, and she shares that she hasn't found Samson, and requests that the party goes to find him, as she has duties at the chapel which cannot be put off for her to go search herself.
