> [!Tip] Chandra > **Species:** Human > **Role:** Scholar / Independent Researcher > **Affiliation:** Independent ## Profile Chandra is the world's foremost expert on Lhazaar's legendary migration from Sarlona. She is a working historian — field research, primary sources, uncomfortable boats — not an armchair academic. She carries a satchel of books, wears a tricorn hat, and has an aberrant dragonmark on her left hand that she's been documenting rather than hiding. ## First Appearance (E5) The party encountered Chandra on a Middle Wards bridge, where a city watchman was manhandling her after seeing her aberrant mark. [[Styx]] intimidated the watchman into releasing her. [[Kouneli]] attempted to explain Lhazaar migration history to her, then quickly realized she knew infinitely more than he did. She gave [[Kouneli]] a small crystal bauble as thanks, said "in another life, maybe," and left Sharn for an expedition to the Lhazaar Principalities. ## Reputation Unknown to the party beyond their brief encounter. Within academic circles, she's respected but considered fringe — her work on migration patterns and geographic anomalies doesn't fit neatly into any established discipline. ## Relationship to the Party [[Kouneli]] is smitten. She was warm, grateful, and clearly brilliant. The crystal bauble is in his inventory. She's been off-screen since E5. ## Known Traits - Expert on Lhazaar migration from Sarlona - Aberrant dragonmark (left hand) - Direct, confident, slightly teasing - Carries a satchel of books everywhere - Wears a tricorn hat - "In another life, maybe" — left the door open without committing
