Aoth Fisher-Sepret
Elder Windcaller
"If the soul must have a duty, it is to protect the world from the inevitable."
Her eyes are the sky in winter. A glaze of blue over the unknowable. With her stark white hair, she could be an elemental from a cold, empty plane, but her gold complexion speaks to a Mulan heritage. The black tattoos emerging from her hairline reveal she comes from wealth in Thay.
A petite woman and frail, Aoth is no warrior, nor has she ever worked a day's labor in her life if her soft skin is any evidence. She moves serenely, lingering with the sky's empty patience in every gesture. She appears youthful and has for many years now. Aoth favors elegant lines of silk in subtle but ornate patterns. The mute colors of her wardrobe let her kohl-lined eyes steal the light.
Her tone is typically flat, as free of sympathy as her expression, and yet her laughter is the peal of small silver bells. A wind circles Aoth wherever she goes, gentle or fierce according to her mood.
The clasp of her cloak is a silver cloud drifting on a field of sapphire: the symbol of Akadi, Queen of Air.
Reputation
Aoth is well-known as a druid of significant power who quickly rose to the position of elder within the Circle of Quercatha Terr. During the War for Jiyyd against the horde of Orcusgate, she was an active leader who communicated with allies across Narfell and gathered druid circles from wider Toril. Since then, her activities have been tied to the Golden Geese. She is married to Princess Elizabeth Fisher, cousin to King Thalaman.
True to her elemental faith, Aoth's presence is at best emotionally unavailable, though she can be quick to fall into simmering storms of anger or bursts of laughter. Owing to her high status and often cryptic commentary, she's developed a reputation as a mysterious foreigner in Peltarch, where she presently serves as Master of Diplomacy.
When adventuring, Aoth usually adopts the role of a spellcaster, but in moments of need, she will dart into melee with her detached and deliberate air intact. Her fear of caves and prisons is known to become overwhelming when she feels trapped. When the opportunity is present, she will render cages and chains unusable. She is known to habitually free even bound earth elementals from the prison of a golem's shape.
Theme Music
Animal Forms
When wildshaped, Aoth often has a white-gray coat or streaks of pale feathers and fur. In the proper skin, she displays a savage viciousness unlike her demure human presence, and she seems to become another creature altogether.
Equipment
Aoth carries several artifacts of her faith.
- Staff of the Winds - Crafted by Akadians in the Glittering Spires of Kara Tur, this unworked branch of duskwood summons both violent and protective gusts. According to Narfell lore, the staff was brought to Aoth on the wind after she brought down a fallen angel serving Glyphimhor. The incident was the origin of her ritual name, Elder Windcaller.
- Crown of Dreams - A mithril circlet with an embedded smoke sapphire. It was a wedding gift from Aoth's wife, Elizabeth Fisher.
- Great Stag Leather of Thargaun Crell - The first Nentyarch of Dun Tharos enchanted this armor. Passed among druids of the Rawlinswood until disappearing centuries ago, it came into Aoth's possession during the final battles of the War for Jiyyd.
- Cold Eyes - This necklace was a gift from the succubus queen Nenufar after a party of Narfell's adventurers raided the Jungles of Despair in the Abyss to end a smaller demonic incursion. Closer inspection reveals an unflattering description of the druid, interpreting her frosty exterior as 'bored.'
- Wind Shear - An ornate mithral scimitar that gleams with arcana. Once the possession of the Aldoon of the Silver Turban Legion, he was later imprisoned within the blade by the Great Caliph as a gift to Aoth. He has since been freed.
- Belt of the Trickster - A gift from the Elemental Union in Solace on the defeat of Dust and his unnatural experiments. The belt honors Aoth's reputation in the elemental planes as a symbol of freedom.
- Airy Cloak - Bordered with Auran runes, the cloak was a gift from High Hold for rescuing one of its own from a devil's trap. When one stands close, they might hear a woman's voice whispering to Aoth.
- Praxi's Promise - This mithral ring, in the shape of a talon, once belonged to Praxi the Eyes, a Malarite druid who followed the necromancer Korvan the Undying. When Aoth activates the ring, a protective mist surrounds her.
- Spear of Disunion - The first weapon Aoth ever enchanted, this spear vibrated and thrummed as if on the verge of its own destruction. Classical Mulhorandi hieroglyphs for Transformation Without End were carved into the edge. Following the incident of the Fire of Devastation, Aoth sacrificed this spear to Kossuth, Lord of Fire, as an act of penance.
