Queen Selara IV
Appearance
A tall, sharp-featured woman in her mid-40s with dark skin, silver-streaked black hair worn in tight braids, and commanding amber eyes. She dresses in naval-inspired formal wear — high-collared coats with gold epaulets — and always carries her father's cutlass, Tidebreaker, at her hip.
Personality
- Pragmatic — governs with spreadsheets as often as decrees
- Fiercely independent — Kethra will not be anyone's vassal
- Surprisingly warm — in private, she has a dry wit and genuine care for her people
- Holds grudges — the Crown Concordat has slighted Kethra for decades; trust is earned slowly
Role in Campaign
- Arc 2: The other side of the war — can become ally or enemy depending on party's diplomacy
- Arc 4: Leads Kethran forces at the World Council; contributes naval blockade of the Citadel
- If the peace summit succeeds (Arc 2), she grants the party the services of the Kethran Wind, a swift warship for travel
Stat Notes
- HP: 85 | AC: 18 (breastplate + DEX + shield) | Speed: 30 ft
- Spellcasting: Cleric 9 (DC 16, +8). Key spells: crusader's mantle, freedom of movement, commune, flame strike
- War Priest: Bonus action weapon attack after casting (Wis mod/day)
- Channel Divinity: Guided Strike (+10 to one attack roll)
Secrets
- She authorized secret naval raids on Valdrian shipping — a fact that could derail the peace talks.
- Her daughter was killed by cultists years ago. She knows the Hand of Ruin is real; she just doesn't know how deep it goes.
- She has a secret alliance with the Pirate Lords of the Salt Reach — mutually beneficial, mutually deniable.
