Mistress Vespera

Title: Proprietress of The Velvet Spire
Role: Vespera is a woman of indeterminate age and immense presence. Her club, The Velvet Spire, is the premier destination for Kigum’s elite to unwind and discuss business in "private." She is a master of information brokerage and knows the secrets of nearly every high-ranking official in the city.

Secret Motivation: Vespera is a "Dragon-Touched"—a descendant of a human who served the dragons centuries ago. She has a limited ability to "see" through the eyes of any reptile in the city. She has been using this to spy on the High Council and has realized that they are not just puppets of Aurelius, but are actively trying to "ascend" to draconic status themselves through dark rituals.

Adventure Hook: Vespera hires the party to "plant" a specific, enchanted lizard in the High Council’s meeting chamber. She tells them it's for "security," but it's actually so she can witness their upcoming "Ascension Ritual."
