>>> I nominate Rohese!!!

LOL Bless you, Cylnthia. Alas, Rohese does not qualify. It has long been documented that her mother is from Ta’Ardenai and I suspect that the dagger to Nehor’s heart would count as a poor moral choice (although Roh would argue the ethics of it.)

Besides, she’s too busy being the Mist Harbor Loremaster at the moment but thank you for the vote of confidence!
