Ysa of the Reeds
[!info] Quick Reference Role: Spirit of crossings in the Hushmere Location: campaigns/the-hollow-between/locations/the-hushmere Public face: Elusive, amused, older than any local custom
Appearance
Ysa usually appears as a woman-shaped form made of reeds, ferry rope, and wet gleam, with a face that is never the same twice. Her voice often arrives from the wrong direction.
Personality
Playful, exacting, and patient in the way marshes are patient. Ysa is easier to offend through carelessness than hostility.
Goals & Motivations
- Ensure the waking place is treated as a relationship, not a monster
- Recover names, promises, and offerings carelessly lost to the marsh
- See whether the party can become trustworthy stewards of a threshold
Connections
- Remembers making terms with what lies beneath campaigns/the-hollow-between/locations/the-hollow-bell
- Finds campaigns/the-hollow-between/npcs/mara-thornfield too rigid and campaigns/the-hollow-between/npcs/brother-hale too timid
- Has quietly protected campaigns/the-hollow-between/npcs/tam-rowan from worse attention
Secrets
Ysa helped design the old settlement bargain that put the Sleeper under toll. She now believes the agreement has expired, and that refusing to renegotiate it may be more dangerous than waking the hill fully.
