Cintra

🔈 (SIN-truh)

Cintra is the Supreme Oracle of Shakun, based in Karawa. A prophet with a direct connection to the goddess, she stands outside the hierarchy of the Shakun Mystai and serves as guardian of the Heart of Shakun.

Raised in Karawa, Cintra is a powerful spellcaster with a deep faith in Shakun and a strong sense of personal responsibility. She is self-assured and sometimes headstrong, quick to assess others and accustomed to taking charge. Under pressure, she gives blunt, practical directions and turns readily to magic and improvisation to protect those around her.

Her daughter, Jumi, is a magical prodigy strongly blessed by Shakun. Cintra is fiercely devoted to her; Jumi’s safety is the one concern she puts before even her responsibility to the people of Dunmar.

In February DR 1748, Cintra left Karawa with the Heart of Shakun, seeking healing for Jumi. She had dreamed for many days that Jumi was sick with a silent illness that would kill her in weeks, or months, dreams she believed came from Shakun; they were actually a trick of the hag Agata Dustmother. Agata took Jumi hostage and held Cintra at Shakun’s Wellspring under Samerki’s watch, while the Heart’s absence weakened Dunmar’s border protections. When the Dunmar Fellowship reached her, Cintra helped conceal them and diverted Samerki with illusions and a bluff. After the Fellowship defeated Agata and freed Jumi, Cintra returned to Karawa with her daughter and the Heart on June 1, 1748.
