Silestra is a witch of the White Order of her people. She started life as a simple herbalist in her little village, but a passing arrant witch spotted that her true calling lay elsewhere and initiated her into the cult of the Lost Gods. Silestra took to the life well and over time became one of those very same arrant witches who spends at least half of each year out of her pleasant little cottage in her home village of Gildspeer to seek out knowledge and to help those in need.

Backbiting Whispers (Ward) / 3m / Touch / 10 (-10) : The target of the spell will only hear the worst things about themselves from the mouths of friends and family, no matter what they actually say.
