The Velvet Idol

Selinthrae Silverfold is a hermaphroditic elf–fey hybrid from the rare Vaelorian Mirror-Blood lineage, and one of the most sought-after courtesans in all of Fylfnoris. Her beauty is striking, and her presence feels crafted to entice rather than to impress.

Her hair falls in a sleek, golden bob framing a face shaped with perfect symmetry. Her makeup is bold, seductive, and intentional—darkened eyes, sculpted shadows, and lips painted to draw attention the moment she enters a room. Her gaze lingers in a way that feels intimate even from across a crowded hall.

Where others in the Anchorage favor elegance, Selinthrae leans deliberately into sensuality. Her appearance is curated for temptation, not artistry. Every detail—from the angle of her eyeliner to the lazy drape of hair over one eye—exists to make clients wonder what it would be like to be the sole focus of her attention.

Selinthrae dresses in deep velvets, sheer silks, and revealing cuts, with colors favoring dark reds and blacks specifically because they:

• accentuate her body lines
• draw attention to movement
• invite imagination
• highlight her androgynous beauty in ways meant to provoke desire

Her attire is not meant to look artistic or ceremonial.

It is meant to be lewd, enticing, and undeniably intimate.

She wears what she does because it excites her clients, emphasizes her curves and angles, and turns her into a walking promise of pleasure and escape.
Nothing she wears is accidental—every thread and fold is crafted to seduce.

Like many residents of Fylfnoris, she survived the Goblin War.
While she does not speak of what she endured, her empathy has sharpened into a weapon and a gift.
Those who meet her often feel she understands suffering without needing to hear the story.

To many, this makes her not only alluring but deeply humanizing.

Selinthrae treats every client — no matter their race, wealth, gender, or deformity — with:

• dignity
• softness
• sincere attention

This is what sets her apart from other courtesans.
People return not for beauty, but for understanding.

Posters, songwriters, and sailors speak of her as:

• “The Velvet Idol”
• “The Twin-Souled Muse”
• “The Gilded Whisper”
• “The Courtesan Blessed by the Moon and the Mirror”

Her legend feeds itself.

People come out of curiosity.
They return because she exceeds the legend.

Her voice carries a gentle fey resonance — not a spell, but a natural side effect of her heritage.
People often describe speaking with her like:

• Hearing a song they forgot they loved
• Feeling seen for the first time
• Being warm after years of coldness

In Fylfnoris especially, where many residents have fey ancestry, Selinthrae’s voice feels like a familiar lullaby of home.
