Naevyn Tasithar is a member of Den Tasithar in the Kryn Dynasty and a new scout of the Aurora Watch of Bazzoxan in 836 PD.[3][4]
Description[]
Appearance[]
Naevyn is a young drow woman who wears traditional Aurora Watch armor. However, after being severely injured in combat, she is unable to keep it on due to the many wounds that cover her body.[3]
Personality[]
Naevyn is a dutiful woman who faces the many dangers of Bazzoxan. She is social to a certain level, chatting with both the healer and the visitors in the infirmary, even when she doesn't know them. She is also a bit shy, refusing to open up about her participation in local traditions.[3]
Biography[]
Naevyn was born as a member of Den Tasithar in the Kryn Dynasty, growing up as a noblewoman. At some point before 836 PD her military skill allowed her to join the Aurora Watch, and she was assigned to Bazzoxan.[3]
In 836 PD Naevyn was present during a gibbering mouther attack on the city, battling against them with the help of other members of the Aurora Watch, as well as some visitors.[5] In the process, the young scout was severely injured by one of the aberrations, and she was brought to the infirmary, where she was treated by Bautha the cleric, with whom she talked for a bit.[3] Being there, in her weakened state, Naevyn decided to join a recent practice of young members of the Aurora Watch: to ask someone to leave a keepsake in the Wall of the Unforgotten, fearing she would die before making a friend to hold a memorial for her. She had a small tiger's eye rabbit with her name carved into the bottom for that purpose.[6][4]

- Based on her stats, she would be the NPC equivalent of a player of 4th level or lower, so she wouldn't know the Darkness spell drow get at 5th level.[7]

- She belongs to the same Dens as the former Taskhand Adeen Tasithar.
