Eida runs a small oddities shop called "Eida's Fortunes" in downtown Driftriver. She sells pseudo-magical items to those who come to her shop. However, she is most well known for her fortune telling techniques and her innate skill for divination magic.

Eida is a halfling fortune teller with a knack for divination. She uses cards, candles, and crystals to augment the energies around her. In addition to conventional magic, she also uses pseudo-magic in her day-to-day life. To some, it may be crazy, but Eida consults these strange practices both for herself and others.

Personal history

  • Raised and lived in the Crescent Moon

  • Eida started practicing as a divination wizard and running a small fortune-telling shop called "Eida's Fortunes" within Swordspoint, Raven's Bluff at the age of 18 with the support of her parents.

  • 1488 DR, a Bedine commander came to Eida's shop looking for their fortune to be told. He searched for news of his upcoming conflict.

  • Eida foresaw that what little remained of the Netherese people battle the Bedine for control of Anauroch. One of the battles between the Netherese and Bedine upon the Memory Spire awakens dormant Phaerimm. Anauroch is magically drained by newly awakened Phaerimm, again reducing it to a desert. The entirety of the Netherese empire collapses and thousands are killed in the wake of the events.

  • Eida, fearing that she could cause a self-fulfilling prophecy, decides to lie about what she saw.

  • Eida, looks to the stars and the gods for help, asking for guidance and understanding in her decision, as well as hope that her vision was wrong.

  • In the year of 1488 DR, the solstices and equinoxes didn't align correctly and all of the faithful prayers to the gods for understanding and mercy appear to go unheard.

  • Eida, having been left with nobody to communicate to, simply waits out for the events to fold out.

  • The prophecy comes true, causing Eida to blame herself for the resulting blood loss.

  • Eida closes down her shop in Raven's Bluff and moves to Driftriver the following year to open a pseudo-magic, magical component, and fortune-telling shop, also by the name of "Eida's Fortunes".

  • Due to the lack of business and the significant amount of competition, Eida decided to join BASE at the beginning of the year 1495.


    • Eida was born on 14 Flamerule, 1468 DR in the city of Raven's Bluff. She was raised by her mother and her stepfather within the Cresent Moon inn. Her mother was a skilled jeweler and her stepfather was a priest of Tymora. Her mother had three other children in addition to Eida; two older boys named Eldon and Ander as well as an older sister named Nora. Eida
