In her seventies, Arshqqam joins the journey through Shadesmar as a Truthwatcher Radiant, accompanied by a mistspren who translates for her. She travels in rugged clothes, carries her own pack, and moves slowly, pausing to take in the strange landscape with evident satisfaction. Her careful attention and steady resolve mark her as a quietly formidable companion. An engraved ring set with milky white quartz is her only jewelry, a small detail as enduring as her watchful presence.
Description
Arshqqam is a slender Tashikki woman in her seventies, her dark brown skin deeply furrowed by age and her silver hair carefully braided. Her piercing gaze is steady, and her gnarled hands speak of a long life without making her seem frail. She wears rugged traveling clothes with a shawl over her hair and carries her own pack. An engraved ring holding milky white quartz, worn on her right hand, is her only jewelry; her manner is patient, observant, and composed.
