Sālmr

Sālmr was not always a creature of darkness and dread. Once, she was merely the younger sister of a gifted practitioner of the arcane arts, content to watch from the shadows as her elder wove spells of remarkable power. When their village burned during a nobleman's purge of suspected sorcerers, Sālmr's sister pressed her grimoire into her hands with dying breath, whispering incantations that would bind their souls together across the veil of death. Through years of obsessive study, Sālmr mastered the art of hexcraft, transforming herself into a being of terrible beauty—her hair turned white as bone, her eyes gleaming with otherworldly knowledge. She discovered that her sister's final gift was not merely instruction but a curse, one that would grant her immortality so long as no mortal man's hand could ever take her life. This revelation, coupled with the intoxicating power of her hexes, twisted Sālmr's grief into something far more sinister: an insatiable hunger for dominion over forces beyond mortal comprehension. Now Sālmr dwells in her tower at the edge of civilization, where she brews poisons and sells potions to those desperate or wicked enough to seek her out. Her laughter echoes through the night—a sound so hideous it has driven men to madness—as she works toward her true goal: binding a fiend to her will and commanding it as her eternal servant. She travels between her tower and the shadowed corners of the world in the form of a white crow, her shy familiar—a ghostly skull that dares not speak—floating eternally at her side as witness to her dark deeds. Sālmr has uncovered secrets that would shatter mortal minds, knowledge of pacts and powers that exist beyond the reach of ordinary law, and she guards these truths with the ferocity of a woman who has already sacrificed everything to become something far more than human.
