Story & roleplay

Saoirse Thorne · Ready for session one

Student history

Before the first scene

Saoirse comes from an island where storms can last for weeks and every household keeps a lamp for travelers. Her magic arrived during the Great Gale, when she held a failing sea wall until the village reached higher ground. Gravem recognized the stubborn spark in her immediately.

At Astra Noire, she has started hearing thunder from beneath the floors on cloudless nights. Each rumble brings a memory that is not hers: six students descending into the foundations, and only five returning. The last memory always ends with someone calling Saoirse by name.

Goal

What she wants

Find the source of the buried storm and the student who somehow remembers her.

Fear

What tests her

Needing help at the exact moment everyone expects her to endure alone.

Secret

What she hides

When the underground thunder speaks, Saoirse sometimes answers in a language she does not know.

Opening shot

Saoirse has already packed for bad weather, checked on the quietest person, and taken the last watch.

Play Saoirse

Three reliable cues

01Understate danger.
02Keep promises precisely.
03Let small moments reveal the feelings you hide.

Build the group

Ask the other players

Who shares Saoirse’s watch?
Who has heard her answer the thunder?
Who can make her ask for help?
