Rhiannon Nyx

**Rhiannon Nyx** is the leader of the Covenant, an underground network dedicated to freeing Thayan slaves. Her mother died during childbirth. Her grandmother is Madame Eva, her tribe's matriarch. Her father, Lucian, is a talented bard. Rhiannon's mother died during childbirth.

She is a powerful druid who belongs to the Circle of the Desert. She's also an expert archer. Rhiannon sees herself as the chosen one from the Daughter of Death prophecy.

As a Visanti, Rhiannon is a ethnic minority in Thay and her people are persecuted by Szass Tam's government. The Visanti were the original people of Thay, but their land was taken from them by the royal family that preceded Szass Tam. Their unwillingness to bend the knee to the emperor, or any other royal outsider, has made them an enemy of the empire.

She's hopeful the Acquaintances With Weapons will be victorious and that their queen is sincere. The young woman knows Szass Tam is a formidable foe and tries to keep her expectations tempered. She is quite taken by Vulveeta.

Due to a disagreement in Atem over the right way to revolt, she dislikes Bigsby.

Rhiannon was present at the brunch where she, AWW, Horus, and Cleo discussed the future Purple Sands government. Rhiannon nominated her grandmother, Madame Eva, to rule. Bigsby countered feeling that this was nepotism. He nominated Horus to takeover and suggested that someone chosen by the people could reign. The group came to a consensus that the Purple Sands would be governed by a council of Madame Eva, Horus, and a citizen representative.

At her request, AWW investigated the Amber Temple and prevented the Sewn Sisters from stealing the Tiamat scale armor hidden inside.

When it came time to decide Manipular's interim government, Rhiannon nominated her fellow Covenant member Sora. However, Sora lost the election to Willy Wingman.

Rhiannon provided intel to AWW that the final Tiamat piece was inside the Montgomery Museum.

AWW rescued her from the clutches of Mother Mercy and her asylum. However, unbeknownst to AWW or even Rhiannon, they were too late. Mother Mercy and her medical minions were able to implant a control gem into Rhiannon's head. After her rescue, she told the party she knew where Szass Tam's phylactery was - inside the Tomb of Doom.

Rhiannon led field agents of the Covenant to Necropolis to help its citizens escape the battle with Szass Tam. It was here the mind control gem embedded into her at the asylum was activated. The emperor had her partner with a bone devil to guard his palace. AWW killed the bone devil and Sudsy freed Rhiannon from the gem. She then joined them in the fight against Szass Tam.

When Vulveeta killed Emperor Szass Tam, Rhiannon saw she truly wasn't the Daughter of Death. She was happy that her lover was such a hero. After the emperor's death, Rhiannon was elected to the People's Council.
