Messalani

Messalani is a high‑elf merchant of the Merchant Varna, a well‑connected trader who operates along the Great River and to the Melmane ports; pragmatic and business‑minded, she is influential enough in town to hire specialists and to speak for merchant interests. She approached Scout to request shamanic and Green magic assistance repairing the elven Tree Network — an ancient, largely Nature‑based transportation/spirit system (with Alchemical, Essential and a Divine component) that predates the last Comet and is currently degrading — and she frames the problem in commercial terms, stressing the network’s importance to trade and communication. Messalani understands the network’s technical and political sensitivities (noting priests in the Priest Varna can be hostile to trees and that the Divine aspect complicates repairs), can provide some Green magic support but lacks the shamanic/divine expertise she needs, and therefore acts as a practical, discreet patron seeking timely repairs to restore vital infrastructure.
