Character Details
Thessa grew up in a logging village on the edge of Neverwinter Wood, learning to track and hunt before she could read. She served the Lords' Alliance as a frontier scout for a decade, mapping trade routes and warning settlements of approaching threats. When the Second Sundering began reshaping the Sword Coast — earthquakes splitting roads, new islands rising from the sea, and divine magic erupting in wild storms — Thessa found herself guiding refugees through terrain that changed overnight. She doesn't understand the cosmic forces at play, but she knows the land, and right now the land needs people who can navigate what it's become.
"I describe everything in terms of terrain and weather. People are landscapes to me."
"Protection. The wilderness doesn't care about divine politics. People still need guides."
"The Sword Coast is my home. I'll walk every changed mile of it to keep it safe."
"I trust the forest more than I trust people, and it shows."

A lean, weather-hardened woman in well-worn leather armor with a forest-green cloak. Her hands are calloused from bowstring and climbing rope, and she moves with the quiet economy of someone who has spent more nights under stars than roofs.
