Fan art of Bautha Dyrr, by Edgar Noriega.

**Bautha Dyrr** is a drow priest of Xalicas at Bazzoxan.

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Bautha is a drow woman who wears a cloak with a black pin in the shape of a wing.

### **Personality**

Bautha is dedicated and selfless, devoting much of her time and magic to healing the wounds of those in need. She is cultured and careful, especially with matters related to the Betrayer Gods. She also shows a pragmatic attitude towards the Kryn Dynasty's quest to fully reclaim Bazzoxan, seeing it as a source of unworthy suffering.

## **Biography**

Bautha was born as a member of Den Dyrr in the Kryn Dynasty. At some point, she had contact with the solar Xalicas, whom she began to adore. Her devotion to the injured angel proved to be even deeper and she became a priest, developing divine magical abilities.

Eventually Bautha became healer in a infirmary of Bazzoxan before 836 PD, and while she, as a follower of Xalicas, disapproves of the government's obsession with controlling the city and the amount of militar presence they dedicate to it, she supports the effort to hold back the demonic forces, and uses each spell slot she has to heal whoever may need it.
