A human woman in her early 60s, captain of The Indifferent Wind, a salvage brig running freight and salvage along Plane of Air rift lanes. She caught the party in freefall following the explosion at the Demonskull Range and hauled them aboard.
Appearance
Short-cropped silver hair, skin weathered by decades in open wind. Her hands show forty years of rope and rigging. She dresses practically. Her eyes are pale grey and evaluate everything the way a sailor reads weather. She does not raise her voice.
Background
She has been navigating the Plane of Air for decades, running freight and salvage along rift lane routes. She knows the plane’s currents, the stable rift locations, and the waystations well. The Indifferent Wind is purpose-built for this work: reinforced hull, wind-elemental drives, a crane assembly on the aft deck for hauling cargo and debris.
She is not cruel. She is not flexible.
The Work Passage
She found the party falling out of the Demonskull Range explosion and offered a deal: safe passage to Silt Post in exchange for three days of crew work. The ship was running short-handed and needed the hands. The party worked their passage. By the time they reached Silt Post, she was friendly enough to offer to look into getting them a run to a material-plane port if her next freight contract takes her that direction. No promises, but she said she would check.
