Appearance

You see Leifa Ar'Anya Faendryl the Druid.
She appears to be a Dark Elf.
She is tall. She appears to be youthful. She has thick-lashed intense viridian eyes and sun-kissed bronze skin. She has manelike, voluminous ash blonde hair parted to the side and pinned back with a blonde tortoiseshell haircomb inset with tiny bug-filled amber. She has a lean, angular face, a strongly sloped nose and palpebral tribal scarification patterns etched lightly above her deep-set eyelids. She has delicately curved ears and an elegant neck that tapers down to a slight hollow in her finely sculpted collarbone.
She has a series of small variegated charmed hoops set along the slender tips of her pointed ears, a stylized black-inked tribal sunburst tattoo across her collarbone on her neck, and a raging warhorse tattoo on her waist.
She is wearing a finely articulated crown of fig vines softly brushed with a silver sheen, a strand of vaalin glowbark leaves, a rustic verdigris copper back-basket faintly etched with twisting faenor vines, a soft textured barkcloth pelisse, a beetle green lacquered corselet held with ebon vaalin-traced bindings, a slender contoured wrist bangle of preserved flaeshorn vines, a slender oval of twining ossified dirge-vaon tendrils, a hip-slung hemp silk skirt patterned with graduating copper-sheened scales, a sculpted verdigris thigh-quiver faintly etched with twisting vinca vines, and some foxfire green tattooed leather sandals laced with twisted willow withe.

Items of Note

Faendryl Enclave, Garden

Shielded by verdant hedges, the spire's reflection garden adds a grace note of natural beauty to the building's austere architecture. A circular pool surrounded by smooth white benches provides a serene focal point for the setting, while artfully shaped topiaries create a private reserve of fanciful beasts along the tranquil garden's periphery. Flowering vines around a central statue add a note of welcome color. You also see a winding pathway and a small bowl of seeds. Obvious paths: none


Pool: The still waters of this circular pool are marred only by the occasional fish searching for food.  The pool maintains a calm, glassy surface otherwise.  Clearly visible from the surface, small white pebbles and a series of obsidian rocks form a black and white pentagram along the pool's bottom.


Topiary: Members of the bushy bestiary are posed as if cavorting with one another around the garden's perimeter.  The lifelike shapes give the formal garden a touch of whimsy.


Statue: In the otherwise immaculately manicured garden, one tangle of blackberry vines around the statue's base remains untamed.  The statue of a rearing warhorse bears a small bronze plaque reading, "Leifa's Garden."


Bowl of Seeds: Dipping your hand into a nearby bowl filled with seeds, you scoop up a handful of the grainy substance and toss it upon the ground.

Clusters of ravens flock to the offering and chitter with one another as they peck away at the seed.  It only takes a matter of seconds for them to completely consume the offered meal, though they still stand around chirping at each other for a few moments more.  Rising as one, they take to the air and glide away.

Faendryl Enclave, Dining Room

Alabaster Spire, Dining Hall

Sconces on the alabaster walls illuminate oil paintings depicting historically significant Faendryl and the officers of the Enclave. A massive ebonwood dining table set for a formal meal traverses the length of the narrow room. You also see an ebonwood doorway and a keystone marble arch. Obvious exits: none

Painting: Masterfully painted portraits from different ages and styles line the walls, each depicting a notable person.  Beginning with a portrait of a regal patriarch, newer paintings include images of a foppish man in a hat, a female Faendryl holding a cup of coffee, a man donning demonic armor, and a woman sitting beside a foxhound.
