Duveesa de na Fitheach

Duveesa de na Fitheach is a Coimeadai of Yim’nir, otherwise known as a Religire (Gravekeeper, in Common), who has been spotted wandering around the Ashen Coast. While most Religire do not involve themselves with the matters of the Galuyn, let alone those affiliated with anything having to do with those who are employed to set about the will of the Rionasai and the Council; Duveesa has broken that mold by aiding them several times; albeit in exchange for her own reasons. Having joined with the Mac Tire Caidre during their adventures in the Frost; Duveesa has also formed a bond with the Achrann-croi, or Warheart, clan and their Godshunter, Finian an Achrann-croi.

Duveesa, despite these ties, does maintain some semblance of anonymity. She is, unusually for a Religire, also a Huntress of Hod. As such; she has the ability to call upon the Blessing of Winter, which turns her skin blue, hair white, and gives her powers beyond the means of normal mortals. This has also put her in good favor with the Ceann-fuar clan, the Chillborn, who kept to their ways within the Icefur Den. While Duveesa is technically ageless, as per a gift granted by the oath they swear to their God, Yim’nir, she has lived for hundreds of years. As a result; Duveesa has personally bore witness to the rise and fall of the Galuyn countless times. Dedicated to her task as a Religire, Duveesa migrates across the land in search of souls that have been lost, tainted, or souls that do not belong on this plane  (her most notable one of these having been Farin an Ceann-fuar, a former Thorned Council member who turned herself into a lich). She is, as all Religire, a member of the Skysworn pact of Coimeadai.

Duveesa is often accompanied by her husband, Bjorik an Tonn-siúlóir, a Wavewalker warrior she has soul-bonded with. As such, despite Bjorik’s many deaths, she is constantly able to resurrect her husband to continue fighting. She has also been seen in the company of other men, though her constant companion has been Bjorik and her albino raven.
