Lady Andaisin

*"This is a vindication of my esoteric creed, of the belief that through entropy comes apotheosis, of the wholehearted embrace of mortality in all its truest and most honest aspects."*

-Andaisin Mistmoor

## History

*"There is beauty in the morose."*

-Lady Andaisin

Lady Andaisin is in awe of Adam’s power. A hedonistic woman who was raised in an austere covenant in the Northern District, Andaisin married the Lord of Mistmoor Manor and bore him a child. She devolved into moral and physical degeneracy and is seen as having brought ruin on her house. She succumbed to the nightmares of Rhan-Tegoth, prompting her husband to beg Adam to save her. As a punishment for his lack of faith, Urgathoa inflicted a plague on Mistmoor Manor (the “Curse of Mistmoor Manor”), killing their child and threatening to kill husband and wife. Andaisin herself survived only by sacrificing her husband to Rhan-Tegoth, who saves her from the plague. She was seen by the fledgling Church of Urgathoa as a living saint, and was a close ally of Queen Ileosa during the War of Korvosa.

The question that both the party and the city could ask of her is why? The long answer is that Lady Andaisin wants to drag Adam’s enemies into center stage. Adam has told her that Vox’s arrival heralds the Godhunter’s return, and that he needs Galar Insabatius and the Waygate to awaken Rhan-Tegoth. Spreading the nightmare plague raises the stakes. Andaisin also knows a little bit about Vox through her own research. She knows that: “‘Vox’ was a cleric and a psionist who became the high priest in the church of a god even more powerful than Rhan-Tegoth, and with the support of his god he became the supreme Pontiff, the leader of his great nation. In the War, the Godhunter killed his god, and ‘Vox’ lost his powers and his country. He is much weakened now, but he is still a psionist to be feared. The Godhunter is after him, but ‘Vox’ is just the bait. In fact, ‘Vox’ probably knows he is the bait.”

Lady Andausin rarely attends church functions, and lives a life of leisure at Mistmoor Manor attended by undead servants, when she is not taking rides in the city in her carriage drawn by skeletal horses. It was how she spread the plague. Each of the infection sites reports her having passed through.

In retaliation to the party’s meddling in the mines, Lady Andaisin creates an airborne plague using the Dreamstone, which spreads nightmares beyond the Trade District. With Doc Anderson’s Clinic in new hands and willing to cooperate with the Stornheist Hospital and Asylum, some investigative reporters are able to bring the news of this plague to light.

Lady Andaisin is universally suspected of orchestrating this blatant cruelty, as she publicly purchased the Dreamstone. However, she is acting as a front for Cardinal McCrory, and it should raise questions about why she is so unafraid to make enemies. Is Adam’s final hour upon him?

Lady Andaisin is slain by Galar Insabatius and his allies; Galar himself reveals heretofore unseen psionic power in response to her taunts. The interrogator James Rodnick takes up her husband's will, the family ring, and Of Unspeakable Cults, becoming the next Lord Mistmoor.

## Personality

*"This is not a game. The stakes here are of your life and your last breath. Pray for mercy. The reaper has come."*

-Lady Andaisin

The short answer is that she is in awe (and envy) of Adam’s purity.
