Lyra of Emberhold

Lyra grew up believing she was destined for greatness, her dreams and visions setting her apart from the rest of the clan. Her rise to shamanic leadership was swift, aided by her ability to predict events (or manipulate them to match her visions). The clan reveres her as a prophet, though her “guidance” often serves her own ambitions. She has a dangerous talent for storytelling, spinning her dreams into truths the clan is too awed to question. Lyra’s bond with Kael is more a power play than a love story, and her secret feelings for Tarin threaten to unravel her carefully constructed web of influence.

Tommy Ruskavich

Tommy grew up in a working-class neighborhood where toughness was a survival skill, not a choice. After joining the military in his early twenties, he served in a brutal conflict that left scars on his body and mind. When he returned home, the fast pace of civilian life felt alien, and he found solace in the butcher’s trade—a profession that allowed him to channel his focus and precision into something tangible. He opened his own butcher shop in a gritty part of the city, a place that quickly became a local staple for high-quality cuts and some of the best sandwiches in town.Tommy’s shop is more than just a place to buy meat—it’s a sanctuary for those who need a safe space. Whether it’s a local kid escaping a rough home life or an old friend looking for advice, Tommy’s door is always open. But beneath the surface lies a man still haunted by his past, carrying the weight of decisions made on the battlefield. His calm exterior masks a storm of emotions, and while he doesn’t seek trouble, he’s always ready for it.
