Saint Thea

The youngest daughter of a minor Lithmorran baronet, Thea was educated in the bardic arts from an early age. She learned every performance skill she was taught in a relatively short time, and when she began writing music in her late teens, her works were said to be divinely inspired.

Her best known songs focus on religious themes, and she was appointed as Bardic Liaison to the Holy Order of Dav in her mid-twenties. During a time when many members of the Troubadour's Guild were burned as heretics and mages, Thea was a staunch supporter of the Order, responsible for turning in many of the bardic heretics personally.

She was never well loved, but the common people held her in great awe, attributing to her the ability to bring stories to life and inspire when every other hope has failed. Thea was killed relatively young, captured by the Daravi army while touring in southern Farin, but not before she was able to send a warning to the [[Knights of the Chalice]]. Several years after her death, she was officially canonized as the patron saint of the bardic arts.
