Palifala Weslinath

In the academies, libraries, and research huts of the Kingdom of Lyveria, scholars and magic users study the application, ethics, and history of magic. But Palifala Weslinath figured the past belonged in the past. Nor was she burdened by questions of right and wrong. The application of magic, on the other hand, fascinated her. While her peers argued over theories, Palifala learned to dismantle time itself.

Rock gnomes are naturally curious, but Palifala’s curiosity is far more dangerous. She doesn’t wonder if something should be done—only how, and what happens next. Morality is a useless constraint in her studies and experimentations. What’s a little suffering, a few lost lives, if it advances theory to law? It’s all just data gathering.

In her search for the secret of Praetoria, she rips the land apart, twisting it from past to present to future. And when the ulund try to stop her? She’ll rip them apart, too—just to see what happens.
