Serara

Serara tapped the glowing shard, and the customer’s jaw went slack, their coin pouch suddenly open. The other merchants in The Crystal Highlands of Armaria call it a trick. They whisper that Serara’s so-called ascension was a fluke, a chaotic power surge they now use to enchant buyers and inflate prices. But the chimps who have been saved by them tell a different story—of a charging rock golem shattered by a flash of light, of a collapsing crystal bridge held together just long enough for escape. They say the glee in Serara's eyes is the thrill of discovery, while their shocked expression is their own constant awe. Even Yasuke heard of their deeds, respecting not the power itself, but the result: an independent force protecting their own.
