Svetlana Leveton

Level 5 Human Innkeeper

*"Oh! Hello, hello! Greetings, welcome, welcome! We've been waiting for you!"*

*-Svetlana's introduction to the Kingmakers.*

Svetlana Leveton is an NPC from Kingmaker. Oleg Leveton's wife and the Innkeeper of the inn section of Oleg's Trading Post, Svetlana was the first face the Kingmakers saw on their journey into the wilds- and after a case of mistaken identity leads to them ending the troubles she and her husband were going through, she became a close friend and ally of the group.

## Description

Svetlana is a beautiful woman, with smooth skin and long, braided hair. She dresses modestly, and speaks softly, giving off a friendly aura to any who enter her vicinity. She is described as "hardy- she's definitely done some physical labour in her life, but her smile is kind" when she's first introduced.

## Personality

Svetlana is mild-mannered and approachable. She never raises her voice other than to call for Oleg when he's in the next room. She practically radiates kindness to those around her, and is always quick to ensure her companions are comfortable, well-fed and content. She's also the only one Oleg ever really listens to; however, the fact that she doesn't protest against some of his stranger ideas (such as hanging skeletons as a warning to bandits) hints that perhaps she's a little more like her husband than she lets on.

## Abilities

Svetlana is not, and has never been a fighter; her skillset is much more practical. She is an excellent cook, well known for her stews, turnip bakes and haunches, as well as a skilled homemaker and innkeeper. When the Kingmakers gave her the job of the Royal Councillor of Kilcela, she took to the job like a fish in water; she is a natural when it comes to reaching conclusions that all parties could be happy with after years of experience in bartering and trading.

## History

Svetlana Leveton was born in 4678 AR in Rostland, Brevoy. In her youth, she and her husband, Oleg Leveton, started a business in the city of Restov. However, the two of them found big city life difficult, and chose to move to the wilderness together, setting up Oleg's Trading Post. In late 4709, the Trading Post was first visited by The Stag Lord's bandits. The bandits took a large portion of Oleg's goods for the month in exchange for his life, informing him that they'd be back again next month. One of the bandits- Kressle- went as far as to steal Svetlana's wedding ring from her hand. At Svetlana's urging, Oleg put out a call for help to Brevoy, asking for guards to help deter the bandits. Three months passed with no sign of any help, until eventually the Kingmakers arrived, and decided to help while continuing their explorations, including the eventual return of Svetlana's ring. A few days after the Kingmakers' arrival, the actual guards (lead by Kesten Garess) arrived, and helped guard the camp from further attacks. The Trading Post was the home base for many adventurers over the next few weeks- The Kingmakers, Faraway the Bard, Jhod Khakven, The Guards, Joy Rezbin and Latricia Evanore, The Hams of Destruction and eventually Akiros Ismort and Brycen Aldori spent time at Oleg's Trading Post.

By 4711, Svetlana had been drafted as the Royal Councillor. She and Oleg continued to spend the majority of their time at the Trading Post, especially once the town of Levet's Crossing is set up around it. At some point between 4711 and 4715, Svetlana grew close to Latricia Evanore, listening to her preachings on the Goddess of the Sun, Sarenrae. Svetlana was attracted to the ideas of kindness and redemption which Sarenrae preached, and ultimately converted to the faith. While she does not flaunt her religion, she wears the holy symbol around her neck on a small necklace as a subtle reminder of her faith.

In 4715, Oleg was kidnapped by Castruccio Irovetti during his visit to the Rushlight Tournament. This left Svetlana to take the role of mayor of Levet's Crossing, doubling her workload in an effort to keep Kilcela stable during wartime. Her job was particularly difficult as she co-ordinated with the Hams of Destruction, Akiros Ismort and Brycen Aldori to keep the people of Kilcela safe during the War of the River Kings. When Oleg returned to Kilcela safely, she was overjoyed, and vowed to keep a closer eye on him in future. During the Season of Bloom, Levet's Crossing was the target of the final Bloom- the Jabberwock. The Kingmakers helped evacuate the town before anyone was hurt and while the town itself was badly damaged by the Tane's rampage, it was still intact enough to rebuild later.

## Relationships

### Oleg Leveton

Oleg and Svetlana share a particularly healthy relationship. Their marriage has only been strengthened by countless trials and tribulations, and the two are rarely apart for long. In the words of Dave, "these two are the only valid straights in Kilcela".
