Description
Liressa Vex reads futures in the foam of spilled seawater from a tent on the storm-quay called the Drowned Deck, and she laughs — genuinely, warmly — at the worst of them. Sailors pay her in coin and secrets; she gives unnervingly accurate warnings wrapped in a grin. She greets looming deaths and drowning omens with the delight of a child at a puppet show, which makes the accuracy of her predictions all the more disturbing. The smiling fortune-teller is a perfect early-game unsettling NPC: helpf
Appearance
A slim tiefling draped in wet-glittering shawls, indigo skin and filed-down horns strung with tiny fishbone charms. Her eyes catch lamplight like a cat's, and seawater always seems to be drying somewhere on her.
Motives
Keep the whispers fed so the visions keep coming — while privately hoping someone will free her from the thing she answers to.
Personality
Relentlessly, genuinely cheerful — she narrates other people's likely deaths in the same chirpy tone one might use to describe pleasant weather, and seems honestly puzzled that anyone finds the future upsetting.
