## Physical description

### Gender

Female

**Sana-Rae Wyldwood** (originally **Clanless**, born **Demetrius Morningstar**) is a Sylven healer and historian travelling with Queen Adalhard's Caravan. She was formed from the Spirit Wash of Demetrius Morningstar, a dwarven scientist and runesmith.

## Life

### Demetrius Morningstar

Demetrius Morningstar was born in Å-580 in Stormount Palace as second-in-line to the Tayship of Clan Stormount. Studying as a runesmith, he began experimenting with new applications of the magic against the objections of his family. When war broke out between Clan Stormount and Clan Tegerron, Morningstar's advancements were used on the battlefield to limited success. In desperation, Morningstar attempted to create an impenetrable barrier around the Palace's mountain to defend it from a siege; the magic backfired, causing a cave-in and killing what remained of clan Stormount, with the exception of Morningstar himself, who survived in his reinforced laboratory.

Escaping the siege, Morningstar became obsessed with perfecting runecraft, eventually joining (Then-Lady) Adalhard's Caravan to gain both an income and test subjects under battlefield conditions. His failure to contain the sword Sorrowfall at the Siege of Adalhard Manor, along with a lack of advancement in study, caused him to become more and more frustrated, until the caravan arrived at Goblin Combe, just miles away from Tegerron's territory. Wracked by guilt at the reminder of his failure, he approached the ritualist Barron Ormauve to undergo a Spirit Wash. Keeping his curiosity and familial loyalty but losing his cynicism and guilt, Sana-Rae the Sylven was born.

### Sana-Rae Wyldwood

Appearing with no personal memories but a reconfigured mind of less harmful knowledge of history and healing magic, Sana-Rae would go on to join the Guild of History and the Wyldwood Company, adopting the name of the latter as a clan name for taking her in.

She played a role in investigating the cults who arrived during the Arbeth-Tegerron negotiations; developing the new magical technique of Ritual Portalism; and investigating the sword Sorrowfall and its motives. After Magnus Brock, head of the local Field Team, left the caravan to meet with the Kenku, she became the acting Chronicler of the caravan until Brock's return seven months later.

Upon Brock's return, Sana-Rae participated in studies of the Journal of Jack Ketch and further investigation into the Kenku, Naga, and Sorrowfall. She formulated a plan for a ritual to return Ketch from the dead based on instructions from his journal, but the ritual was never carried out.

During the Invasion of the Pale Elves, Sana-Rae was named Chief Chronicler of the Caravan's Field Team and participated in multiple rituals. The ritual to resurrect Ketch was again planned and again abandoned, and after Breadán Casta, leader of the Wyldwood Company, was captured, Sana-Rae began to doubt her usefulness to the group.

## Personality and Traits

Sana-Rae is relentlessly curious but also compassionate, occasionally having to interrupt some of Magnus Brock's less tactful questions. With little worldly experience she can be naïve, once becoming captured by sirens, and often feels out of place among the Sylven who grew up among nature.

## Abilities

Sana-Rae is capable of subtle Natus realm magic, often used in the back lines of the battlefield healing the wounded. She is trained in the use of shortswords and other one-handed weapons, and temporarily wielded Magnus Brock's golden quill as a weapon.

Despite lacking personal memories, Sana-Rae possesses extensive historical knowledge, familiarity with artefacts, and mathematical ability. She can speak all the languages of the major races except Human, and can read and write in Common. Concerned by the consequences of Mrs Greenbeans's failure to close a ritual circle, she has learned to act as a ritual assistant.

## Paraphernalia

Sana-Rae carries a shortsword for defence, a brown satchel, a journal to take notes, several pencils fashioned from tree bark, and a changing variety of pickings from nature from which to draw life energy for healing purposes.
