Ella of the Green
The Green Sister of Yendor, Ella of the Green, lives deep in the woods south of Waste's Edge. Ella is one of only three Green Sisters to survive the massacre which took place in Erinsford fifteen years ago. Her Knight did not survive. Her memories of that day remain sharp, as does the axe of her Knight. Her golem, which received some of the Knight's power and life when he died, is still active and will deal forcefully which threats to her person.
Ella wears browns, yellows, and dark greens most of the time. She suffered a deep hurt when her Knight died, because he was also her husband. Thus, much of what she wears carries the subtle suggestion of autumn and winter. In contradiction of her wintery dress, she has spent the last decade and a half studying the deepest secrets of the arts of healing. She gives special worship to the Lady of Spring, a form of the Green Lady which is associated with life and new grown. As a continuing student of the arts of healing, she can heal nearly anything. She does not deal in potions, as an alchemist would, but she will supply bottles of water from her "Well of Songs." Consuming such a beverage has effects similar to consuming a healer's potion. If someone is very kind to her, she might allow that person to sleep under her roof.
Ella is a spellcaster in the Syul tradition, the last surviving member of Erinsford's Coven of Summer. She is powerful, but also retiring. She derives much of her power from her deep knowledge of hurts and of healing and from her dedication to the Lady of Spring. A certain amount of her power flows out of her into the things around her.
Ella has relationships with Cirades Rymon, Risartus Solmanus, Andare dunVelain, and Tham the Learned, but each of these men guards her privacy fiercely.
In her age, Ella does not travel much, but she continues to offer healing and guidance to Rangers, Yetins, and such travelers as are allowed to darken her doorway. She does not pay much attention to the present inner workings of any group, but her background knowledge is considerable. She is now a Sister without a coven, but she would offer protection, healing, and training, or correction and stern advice, to any child of her Sisters, depending on the goodness and intentions of the child.
Ella's House
Her house, which is old past any living memory, sits in a forest glade. It seems, sometimes, to be alive. It is certainly enchanted. The power flowing from her adds to the magick already in the house. The end result is a house in which the most mundane items may have magical properties. The Forestkeepers of the Elenstroem can attest to the benefits of sleeping in her guest bedroom. One wakes from that bed fully healed in body and spirit. Some even say that one rises from the bed as a better person. The Rangers have made a byword of this strange property of the bed. A Ranger who had an experience which improved him as a person is said to have been "the guest of Ella."
