Four years pior to the events of Thanedd, Lydia studied an elven anathema with her research team but it exploded, killing her colleagues and leaving her with a disfigured face she hides behind a masterful illusion.she's proud, beautiful and smart, like most sorceresses, but she has a special trait. her eyes: while most sorceresses own dark, sad eyes, hers are bright and full of expression. she's a skilled artist and a master illusionist. Due to her accident, that took away most of her lower face and larynx, she can only speak through telepathy.
