She guides caravans across the [[Frostway]] not by maps or waymarks, but by feel — pressing her long iron rod to the ice and reading the faint tremors that travel through it, sensing cracks and instabilities long before the eye can see them. ## Biography Sela came to [[Point Blackrock]] young, drawn north by something she would likely struggle to name — a restlessness, a pull toward the cold silence of the ice. She found purpose among the [[The Frostwardens|Frostwardens]], where her peculiar sensitivity to vibration and her patience in the field made her an asset that no scouting crew would turn down. As the Fox Crew's Ice Listener, she walks at the fore of every crossing, rod in hand, translating the language of the ice into warnings the rest of the crew can act on. Her gift is not magical in the traditional sense — she worships no deity and draws on no divine power — but she describes it simply as "listening," as though the ice speaks and most people have merely forgotten how to hear. ### [[The Bloody Nails|Campaign: The Bloody Nails]] #### [[Session 33 - A Camp Alight]] Introduced as the Fox Crew's Ice Listener when the party joined the caravan into the ice fields; noted for her ability to sense vibrations and cracks in the ice through her iron rod. #### [[Session 34 - Mourning Bells]] Guided the party's forward scout team alongside [[Lysa]] and [[Dane Verric]] into the strange gouge carved into the ice, and entered the warm, moss-lined cavern beyond it — where the group found a large egg and a dimensional rift warping the air above it. Later, around camp, she and [[Kai]] bonded over their shared experiences of healing: Sela explained that she draws power not from any deity but from the act of listening to the ice, using her rod to find fissures as naturally as breathing. #### [[Session 35 - The Frostway]] Continued guiding the party after [[Dane Verric]] stayed behind to tend to the injured Kellan. During a Yeti ambush, she was struck badly by a breath attack, and was later buried alongside [[Eryndor]] beneath an avalanche triggered by the fighting on the mountain ledge. Both were rescued by the party before the snow could suffocate them. She also used her abilities to restore [[Eryndor]] after he was paralysed by a Yeti's chilling gaze, pressing on despite her injuries to help see the group safely to the outskirts of [[Val Noren]].
