Ar'dal'wa Shal

Huntress Ar'dal'wa Shal

Ar'dal'wa is a Witch from the Mistlands. She is skilled in Alchemagic, and uses her abilities to serve the Mistlands Circle. Most of the Witches of the Circle stay in the Mistlands, but Ar'dal'wa is one of the few who spends more time in the outside world than at home. She began her traveling career as a component collector for the Mistlands Alchemagic academy. When the members of the Fenn clan stole powerful items and ingredients, the leaders of the Circle chose Ar'dal'wa as one of the Witches tasked with returning the traitors. She was partnered with Din'xa, a male Witch with some Alchemagic abilities and an expertise in melee combat.

Employment

She began working for the academy as a teenager in one of the ingredient storehouses sorting and cataloging components. At around 21 she was promoted to become a clerk in the rare component lockup. After 16 years in the academy, she was wanted to see the outside world, and applied to become a collector. She spent 9 years collecting ingredients that can only be found outside the Mistlands and returning them home. As one of the foremost experts on the outside world with the most non-Witch contacts, she was a natural choice for catching rogues, and she became a Huntress.

Ar'dal'wa captured three of the rogues from the Fenn clan and killed one more, with the help of her partner.
