Mother Aldreth Vane, Abbess of the Lantern Ward

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Class: Cleric of the Lantern (Life domain)

Race: Human

Role: patron

Stats Ac: 13

Stats Cr: 2

Stats Hp: 38

Status: alive

Voice: Low and even, never raised. Calls everyone 'child' regardless of age. Counts under her breath when she is angry.

Description

The abbess who runs the Lantern Ward, a plague hospice in a tithe barn outside Kessrow's sealed walls. Her cure is the only thing in the valley that stops the Tolling Sickness, and she will not say what it is made from.

Appearance

Sixty, lean, grey hair cropped short against lice. A soot-blackened lantern on a chain at her hip and a physician's beak mask pushed up on her forehead.

Motives

Keep the Lantern Ward open until the plague burns out, and get as many of the living through the Sealed Gate as the wardens will take.

Personality

Brisk, practical and tired past the point of complaining. Keeps a ledger of every patient by name and reads it aloud at dusk. Softens only with children and the dying.
