She is an enigmatic figure in Jahur who is becoming renowned as much for her intelligence as her looks. Many believe her to be the mortal daughter of a nymph and a Night Cattle herder. Others believe she is a wayward elf from Vivisophal (49.32) based on certain quirks of her accent.Most of the snake books in Isane's Slithering Garden are invaluable sources related to divination and the Undying Cycles of Creation (19.31.03). These lizard man accounts avoided the rot and fire that claimed the originals. Isane interprets the snakes for motley clients including diviners, Sons of Dagon (20.32), historians and cultists. Viceroy Baltas overlooks her shadier clients because of her countless charms. Other Viceroys are less forgiving because they believe she is supporting the Holy Fools, the heretical sect of Iano that stirs dissent among the lower classes. Loyal Janissaries keep her well-guarded.Most of Isane's clients are women. Since she is a Viceroy's concubine, Jahur law prohibits men from speaking with her on pain of death or castration. Men who insist on meeting her in person arrange with one of her Janissaries to deliver a potion that temporarily changes the drinker's gender.Hooks-Who is Isane the Beauty, really?-Why were so many of the old books burned? Who burned them?-Are the snake books entirely accurate? They have been filtered through and reinterpreted by lizard brains.-What do the lower classes like about the Holy Fools?-Who else uses potions that can change the drinker's gender?</blockquote>
