Roots is a secretive blood-mage who lives in isolation in a witch’s cabin by Lake Eriar. She called upon Blair Quileth and Rowan for aid during their stay at the Arcanity of Elementals and introduced them to Severance Pittspouch.
While the Party has known Roots for only a short while, it is clear there is an air of fear and anxiety to her. A blood pact was performed between her and the Party, binding them into her service while also offering some nebulous protection to the Party members. Protection from what, Roots refused to say.
"I will protect you from what is to come, and you must help me stop running."
- Roots' condition of the Blood Pact
Roots is a human female and appears to be in her late-20s. She is of average height and is of slight build. She has a very fair complexion, crimson hair, and stark red eyes. She frequently wears what resembles intricate, heavy-plate armor fashioned in dark metals, but the weight of the armor does not seem to hinder her movement, implying it is much lighter than it appears. She carries no visible weapons or arcane focuses. She has been seen creating blood from nothing multiple times, in apparent violation of the limitation of blood mages: they must use their own blood or the blood of others to fuel their own spells.
Much of Roots' true goals and ideologies remain a mystery. While the Party is hesitant to put their trust in Roots, it is well known by all who work with the blood-mage that she has never broken a promise and holds Pacts, deals, favors, and bargains as sacred affairs.
