Actually she is Jaethal from Pathfinder: Kingmaker, and I replaced her scythe with a Naginata. Back story is she’s from Ravilla (from the 2003 Chainmail setting west of mainstream Greyhawk), and that elvish empire once invaded Wa in my backstory. She was an inquisitor against non-elvish rebels there and elsewhere in that empire.3) NPC they just met is carrying stolen maps and logs of a Great Kingdom expedition to the East, across the Solnor Ocean to the Raging Swan setting, like the Picaroon Peninsula.  Those are lost colonies - like what happened to Norse Greenland settlements - but in contact with Kozakura.  More raids than trade, but they each know the other is there.Whoo!</blockquote>
