Long after her sister vanished into the peaks above the town, Tara remained — unable or unwilling to leave the place where Salla's memory still lived — and the years settled on her like mountain stone. ## Biography Tara and [[Salla the Brave]] were born and raised in [[Faelon]], the small mining town nestled below [[Tumbler's Crag]]. When Salla died young under the shadow of those peaks, Tara stayed behind in the village long after most would have sought a fresh start. By the time [[The Bloody Nails]] arrived in Faelon decades later, she was an old woman living alone in a dilapidated cottage, scraping by in quiet poverty — her connection to her lost sister the only thread she had never been willing to cut. She received the party with wary caution, warming only when [[Kai]] arrived at her door with a peace offering of hot soup and fresh bread. Over that simple meal she spoke of Salla's fate and directed the group toward Tumbler's Crag, confessing that recovering her sister's remains might finally bring her some peace. When the party returned from the cave, they kept that promise: [[Kai]] and [[Ryo]] brought her both the locket and Salla's bones, and the reunion of grief and relief that followed was one of the quieter, weightier moments of the campaign. In the aftermath, Tara spoke of perhaps leaving Faelon for the first time — a woman who had been frozen in place by loss, finally considering that the world beyond might still have something to offer her. ### [[The Bloody Nails|Campaign: The Bloody Nails]] #### [[Session 10.5 - Diverging Paths]] Met the party at her cottage in Faelon; provided soup and bread for the meal [[Kai]] had brought; confirmed the history of her missing sister and directed the group to [[Tumbler's Crag]] in search of Salla's remains. #### [[Session 11 - The Tale of Salla the Brave]] Named in the party's investigation as the living sister of the ghost haunting the mountain; her locket, found clutched in skeletal hands, triggered the appearance of [[Salla the Brave]]'s spirit. #### [[Session 12 - How to Start a Rebellion]] Received [[Salla the Brave]]'s locket and remains from [[Kai]] and [[Ryo]]; overwhelmed with emotion, she found the closure she had waited decades for and spoke of finally leaving Faelon to travel.
