Number available: Lots
Conditions to receive from Iskierka: None

On Nephele-that-is, the Swan Sorceress is a wicked woman. She besmirches the line Cor Hydrae with her greed and aberrant lusts.

In some jurisdictions she is still wanted for the murder of her husband and grandson.

Very few recognize her for what she is; her first mastery is deception. To most, she is a gracious hostess and sparkling socialite, generous in her substance (so long as you remember who you owe patronage). Her house on the Isle of Joy (a warning sign by itself) is a place of culture and peace away from the ongoing debauchery under Pleasure's continued misrule.

She does not excel in the martial arts and shows little apparent interest in political power. It's unnecessary she dirty her hands with them. Her magecraft lets her possess the minds of others to act as an extension of herself. Her centuries of practice at manipulation ensure her loyal followers will act nearly as quickly as the half-dozen she can hold in her direct thrall.

She is not a Prince only because she doesn't want it as much as she wants to spend her playthings' lives whenever it suits her, however it suits her.

Here, she has her own captive harem of elves still uncorrupted by death and return. They are miserable and beautiful.

She uses anyone else she has to hand as a shield before using her prizes; she uses them to beg and plead for their own lives with any who threaten her. In the biting moment, because she is a coward, she will sacrifice all of them to protect herself.
