Shiona

Shiona is the calmest storm in The Crystal Highlands of Armaria. A gem trader in the market square tells this story best: they once saw Shiona sitting at a noodle stall, completely absorbed in a bowl of ramen, oblivious to the world. When a squad of cultists burst into the plaza, spreading chaos, Shiona simply finished their broth. They placed the empty bowl down with a quiet nod to the cook, wiped their mouth, and then dismantled the entire squad with a serene, unhurried grace. The trader learned that day what others whisper—Shiona honors the legacy of Giri. But instead of a swamp, their territory is the simple peace of a good meal, and they will defend that calm with an astonishing ferocity.
