NPC
Rilsa “Rill” Harrowmere
A skittish Coast Way traveler who practices knots while he speaks and has seen the strange effects surrounding Simone.
General description
Rilsa “Rill” Harrowmere is a lean human traveler in his thirties. Wind has burned his cheeks, his jaw is narrow, and his short hair looks cut with a knife. He keeps a length of cord in his hands and ties, loosens, and reties the same knot whenever a conversation turns dangerous.
