An undead citadel created before the cataclysm, Sahova is devoted to all kinds of magical research. The living may visit the island, if they are willing to obey its rules. [Lore]
Hidden in a wall of a canyon in the bloodhills is the entrance to cave that appears more as a crack than a door. If one follows the twisting, jutting path far enough they will find a set of chambers. These chamber walls are covered in maps of Sahova and a few of the old Alahaen domain. The room's furnishings come down to two objects; an ancient table dominating the room and a a mangled pile of blankets in the corner.
Everything within the room is coated in the red dust the bloodhills are known for. If someone looked hard enough they might be able to find white feathers in nooks or under maps.
Finding Wayza's home is a feat on all its own. Convincing her to make a map is nearly impossible unless the patron is a major player upon the island. On the other hand she will teach morphing or auristics to anyone who can journey to her and survive, then its merely a matter of not dying during the learning process.
Mistress Wayza :
Titles: Member of the Council of Five “The White Sparrow”
History: Mistress Wayza was brought to Sahova during the second wave of the ARMED project, mostly because no one could locate the morpher to deliver the summons. She was prone to wandering and disappearing into the deep and less explored places of the world. Eventually Qiao caught her morphed as a hedgehog in a mine beneath Sunberth. His offer was simple, a new island to explore and the financial support to perfect her craft. Wayza took the opportunity without further question.
Over her centuries on Sahova she became renowned as the finest morpher the island had ever seen. This might have eventually gained her a seat with in the Master’s Guild, but instead her innovations in cartography gave her a seat on Qiao’s council. Wayza developed a process by which messages could be hidden within maps and only viewed by expert Aurists. Since magic was so rare away from Sahova and an expert more-so, it became a way for the council to send coded messages hidden in maps.
Personality: Wayza is essentially a loner. Unless summoned by Qiao she can hardly be located. Her most used form is that of a white sparrow. Occasionally she can be spotted surveying the testing grounds, but otherwise she remains in her den in the Bloodhills. It is said she is the only flesh-bound soul to fully explore Sahova’s complex system of caverns. Still she is adamant she will never make a map of the tunnels, though she will not say why. Even Qiao and Mashaen cannot push her on this point.
