"The tavern was packed and rowdy but once Idriel began softly playing her dulcimer* they all hushed and her gentle humming filled the room. I've never seen anything like it. That was the night I realized how powerful music and sound can be!"

— Laslo Fure,
Professor of Psychoacoustics

As a performer and weaver of great tales it can be difficult to tell incredible stories without becoming the subject of such tales yourself. Idriel is one such individual who became more famous than the very legends she regails crowds with in story and song. She's been performing in the capital for nearly two decades and anyone who has set foot in a tavern, pub, or barroom is likely to recognize her face when they see it. Plain as it may be, she's nonetheless become an idol and icon within Allegran society. She has standing invitations to perform on nearly every stage in Etude, her access and influence is easily overlooked by those who aren't paying attention and she can make for an incredible distraction to those who do.

Known primarily for her oration and musical talents, Idriel is not only passionate about entertaining others but she's also highly educated and experienced with the relevant skills. Few folks have had the opportunity to get a direct quote when asking about her past. The performer doesn't openly speak about her personal life and turns aside probing questions with wit or humor before directing the conversation to a new topic.

One of the most famous and recognizable performers across the entire continent, Idriel isn't well known for her what she can't do. In public she's repeatedly appeared to have difficulty with a task that is 'conveniently' the speciality of someone nearby - usually someone in her audience at that exact moment. This maneuver has several applications and from the outside it's impossible to know what purpose it serves until the events play out. This is a unique way of engratiating herself to those around her and lifting up those who might not otherwise ever have the opportunity to shine. It's subtle and manipulative but consistently yields positive results while also earning the trust of someone who has a specific skill she may lack or have use for in the future.
