	Nakaira Kedeviss Faendryl is the name of a female summoner assigned to the scout cutter [[Siege of Ta'Ashrim\|''Veil Shark'']], a ship attached to the invasion fleet deployed to destroy [[House of Ashrim\|House Ta'Ashrim's]] lands and people during the [[Sea Elf War]] some five thousand years prior to the modern era. She was named "Näkki" and "Sea Witch" by Ashrim refugees, the former a reference to the legend of a malicious, shapeshifting water spirit who lured people to their deaths in the sea. The ''Veil Shark'' was ultimately believed lost at sea with all hands when it failed to make rendezvous with the ~~fleet~~ to return to Ta'Faendryl.

The ''Veil Shark'' was ultimately believed lost at sea with all hands when it failed to make rendezvous with the surviving remnants of Fleet Task A for the return voyage to Ta'Faendryl.

	In the modern era, a dark elf calling herself Nakaira appeared with the return of the [[Ebon Gate]] festival in Eoantos 5117, although resembling a typical Faendryl far less than a pallid, decaying drowning victim. Speaking in a characteristic rasp, she described five millenia of existence in a state between life and undeath at the bottom of the sea before finally ~~being washed~~ ashore on Caligos. A necromancer, she assisted with the [[Rise_of_Rone_-_5118-03-19_-_Enacting_the_Pillar_Plan_(log)\|infusion of shadow energy]] into three of Grishom Stone's five bone pillars in Charlatos 5118, and since has been seen sporadically in the environs of the Landing.
