Qiryel Thaless

Qiryel Thaless has aquamarine skin, dark deep-water eyes, and kelp-brown hair braided with shell beads. Their webbed fingers tap strict rhythms on a bone flute, and their songs preserve laws, bargains, and names. Qiryel records every promise in waterproof ink, corrects performers who alter a verse, and expects the same precision from allies and enemies.
