She is emaciated, as if she has never had a full meal in her life, and light leather armor clings to her waifish body. Dark gray hair floats around her shoulders, and faintly glistening wings twitch behind her back, withered like a dragonfly that got too close to a flame.She wanders close to the door of the tower, oblivious to your presence and she looks around curiously as she sings her strange tune.  You stand there, somewhat spellbound by the song and the strange creature emitting it.  As you watch, six males of the same race climb up over sides of the bridge.  Their wrinkled wings reflecting the flames of the forest.  They draw short spears from sheathes across their backs and look as if they are prepared to attack.Suddenly, one of them cries out something in a strange language and the others raise their spears and cheer.  [sblock="if you speak Sylvan"]Silence the singer!  Freedom by death for the Seela![/sblock]The woman immediately stops singing, screams and backs up in fear until she bumps into the door of the tower.</blockquote>
