The River Lord's Bride

Keeper of the drowned names

“She counts the drowned and waits for the flood to confess.”

The River Lord's Bride appears about twenty and wears a water-white wedding robe. She reads tides, keeps a ledger of the drowned, and now seeks the true source of the yearly floods. She treats visitors as possible fellow workers, not as rescuers.

She is known only as the River Lord's Bride, a woman who appears about twenty and wears a water-white wedding robe. Chosen by riverside villages years ago, she learned the tides and now copies the names of the drowned each year. She believes the floods are not the river lord's anger but something done upstream, and she means to prove it. She will not trade the names she keeps for anyone's convenience.

You met her at the ferry, where she warned you that the water under your feet was wrong.
