First seen · Book 11 · Ch. 20

Lady Raythe’s green-flecked hair catches the eye, but it is her thoughtful ease that lingers: she can discuss astral beings over tea and still find something charming in a name. Beneath that gentleness is a presence so composed that even an imposing atmosphere seems unable to unsettle her.

Raythe is an elf and a peak diamond-ranker from beyond Pallimustus, whose conversations with Velius touch on Asano and astral beings. She admits a soft spot for the name “Keeper of the Sands,” a small, humanizing warmth amid her formidable standing. Later, she leads a group down a shaft and follows Shade through a tunnel without reacting to the effects of the surrounding aura, acknowledging Shade with thanks.

Description

Raythe is an elf woman with hair flecked green, its brown base a lighter shade than her skin. The text does not specify her eyes, facial structure, build, age, or clothing. She is seen smiling over tea and later moving with composed assurance through a tunnel, undisturbed by the aura around her. Her bearing is poised and quietly formidable.
