Seirala

Seirala is a brusque, mistrustful elven alchemist, currently residing in the town of Lacerta.

Despite her rather prickly demeanor and the unusual sight of a full-blooded elf in Cheliax, she is well-liked among the townsfolk for her proficiency with potions and extracts. While the bulk of her clientele are merchants and craftsmen in search of extracts of crafter's fortune, townspeople looking for a potion tattoo, or drunks and layabouts in need of a polypurpose panacea, she is also quite proficient with extracts designed for both battlefield treatment and combat. She is notoriously cagey on the subject of precisely how she acquired these skills, and since her arrival four years ago it's been the subject of much gossip among the residents of Lacerta. The current prevailing rumor, posited by a certain local tavern proprietor, is that she was kidnapped and raised by the fey to make eldritch concoctions for their dark magicks.

The subject of perhaps an equal amount of gossip (but far less mystery) is her relationship with Kiara, courtesan at the Red Hatch Inn and local Priestess of Mitra. Kiara, when not in her room at the Red Hatch or plying her trade, can almost always be found in a corner of Seirala's alchemy shop, perched on the least-rickety shelf, chattering away at the shop's icy proprietor with a pie-eating grin on her face. A few lucky souls even claim to have caught her grinning back. That's as close as any have seen them get, but nonetheless, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them the town's star paramours.
