Helmed Crown Layla
Helmed Crown/Denizen General Lay'rafil (changed to Layla after leaving her family behind). Slannick
I truly, TRULY hope that idiotic inquisitor looks around my home. She has no idea what is waiting for her. Or you all, for that matter.Helmed Crown Layla comes from a proud Drow lineage, some historians believe she is linked to the Infamous Jury, a member of the Dread Kings black hand who was the first to fall at the hands of the True Heroes. She was a teen at the time within the Underdark but as she grew up and saw the fall of the Dread King she decided to join the surface and left her family behind. Destroying the line and enraging the denizens within the Mountains by Oar's Rest. She moved to the surface and has forced herself in the sun every day since, becoming a committed cleric of Correllon at the same time to drive away Lolth's whispers. She joined the Crownsguard and soon rose in the ranks, taking a job in Oar's Rest as part of her promotion to Helmed Crown. She was a level headed and kind drow but is notably grumpy and frustrated if caught in the midday sun. Layla, as it turned out, was a deeply kind and artistic helmed crown within Oar's Rest who had applied for a promotion in King's Bay. The party discovered her rings of recording where it was revealed she'd been having nightmares that plagued and exhausted her. The nightmares consisted of her seemingly floating in an endless black and purple sky with stars surrounding her that looked just like her own eyes. These stars asked the question every night, 'Why does the Sun shun the dark?' The rings of recording documented her then being visited by three strange individuals who were 'bewitchingly charming' and seemed to have the same eyes as Layla herself despite being humans. They stayed in her house for a time before she told them to leave and assaulted one of them. A number of days later, as Layla's condition worsened, she found one of them again in her house and, as they asked the question she'd heard every night. She stabbed them, she then described in her ring of recording how she and the human laughed together about it before the human left, throat wound freely spilling blood. By the time the party reached Oar's Rest Layla had sworn that she would sew chaos in Oar's Rest and ensure the town never recovered from it. It also seemed Layla deliberately trapped inquisitor Dairon in the distortion in her home and worked with dream to produce Denizen Shards.
- Layla sends a recorded ring to Persicorum, revealing the trap she has lain for Dairon.
