## Name: Vezz’ira of House Vrenn **Title:** Drow Captain of the Twilight Guard **Race:** Drow (Dark Elf) **Gender:** Female **Class:** Fighter (Echo Knight archetype) with Shadow Magic Initiate **Alignment:** Lawful Neutral **Affiliation:** [[Zirith’Morra]], loyalist under Matron Xalyth Drezz’Vhun --- ## Appearance Captain Vezz’ira is a composed and intimidating figure. Her armor is finely shaped obsidian scale, etched with the runes of House Vrenn—house of blades and memory. She wears her long silver hair in a tight braid, bound with barbed silver rings. Her crimson eyes are perceptive and unblinking, always analyzing threats. She wields a **glaive of phase-threaded adamantine**, capable of briefly slicing through space to strike distant foes. When in combat, she moves with the precision of a duelist and the ferocity of a commander. --- ## Personality - **Disciplined and Reserved:** Speaks only when necessary, values economy of motion and thought. - **Loyal to Order:** Respected Xalyth’s authority, but her loyalty now shifts toward stability above all. - **Open to Diplomacy:** Not needlessly cruel, willing to parley with surface-dwellers if it avoids chaos. - **Suspicious of Outsiders:** Believes surface-worlders rarely understand the costs of peace in the Underdark. --- ## Role in the Campaign - First encountered when the party entered [[Zirith’Morra]] in search of Spruce. - Was responsible for **initially questioning the party**, unsure of their involvement with the death of 20 elite Drow assassins. - Vezz’ira may have allowed the group to proceed rather than fight, in hopes of uncovering deeper truths. - Now a potential **contact or reluctant ally**, should the players seek to restore order or uncover deeper corruption. --- ## Background Vezz’ira was born to **House Vrenn**, known for producing disciplined soldiers and war tacticians. She rose quickly through the ranks of the Twilight Guard, eventually becoming **captain of the outer sentinels**. She was handpicked by Matron Xalyth not for blind obedience, but for her insight and honesty—qualities rare in the Underdark. Though devastated by Xalyth’s death, she remains outwardly composed and prepared to lead. --- ## Plot Hooks - She may seek vengeance for Xalyth’s death, investigating who lured Pot’Rot into the city. - Could be convinced to side with the party against the [[Council of Shadows]]—if their goals align. - Her Echo Knight abilities may reflect an ancient rite tied to [[Vhun’Ziriss]], offering unique magical insight.
