Sarwen the Plaguewatcher
Sarwen the Studious was an ancient scholar who specialized in matters of curse, plague, and poison in Garadel but was generally fascinated by the natural world. Now, she is a resurrected ghost-like spirit called a Vestige who appears when summoned by Arzet Devadov to aid him on his quest.
Sarwen is anxious, focused, and careful - but also compassionate and curious. She was born to a scribing family in the region of Inasa in Eastern Garadel, during a period of chaos and war. Rebels, conquerors, bandits, and warlords all burnt their way across Sarwen's home, and she spent her life trying to use her passion for natural science to benefit the people around her. She studied healing herbs, medicine, plague, and poison more out of necessity than desire, and did her best to avoid direct engagement in politics. To protect herself, she aligned herself with a Lunar Cult of Orchid of Blue, which patronized her work and protected her. She considered herself a friend and loyal servant of Orchid, but was also a Zihari woman who formally disavowed all Lunar Gods - quite the uncomfortable contradiction she never had the space to resolve. She was eventually killed by raiders who came to pillage her monastery.
