Would you strike an old woman? You will burn for that, young man!

Background

Emuna sut Kalik is a rather powerful but somewhat demented mage who was chased from her tribe with stones and curses when it became known that she was using various tribesmen as subjects for her magical experiments. Volatile of temper but easily managed with flattery and gifts of gaudy jewellery, Emuna feels that she has gone up in the world by becoming the personal mage of such powerful lords. A scrawny Northern Zakaran woman in her late 50s, she is well on her way to becoming a terrifying old crone. The apprentice pirates are terrified of her, as is Sofan (whom she despises as a weak town-dweller), but the older raiders treat her with cautious respect and sometimes take her on raids to provide magical terror for their prey. Numa respects the old lady for her powers but finds her rather revolting; nevertheless, the Zakaran respect for the elderly leads Gedron's unwilling girlfriend to treat Emuna with courtesy at all times, and the hag has some affection for the former dancer. Emuna despises the other slave girls and has ferocious shouting matches with the Cook.

Emuna is not to be underestimated. Having adopted the Moonstone Fortress as her home and Gedron as her lord (with Zokhad his trusted advisor), she will regard any intruders as an opportunity to prove herself a mage of true grit. She will not hesitate to cast any spells that she considers necessary, and she is vicious when cornered.
