The Ageless Promise

Helga

Astrid’s aunt, who guides her from beyond.

A hard, strict but fair teacher. Years ago she left signs for Astrid on the island of Xin-Edasseril; since then she speaks to her in visions, testing her with “lessons” in the middle of battle. In the temple under Kintargo Sigurd saw her spirit standing beside Astrid, and in a dream she took Astrid to the “room below”, promising that one day she would ask her a favour.
