Nissa's Comb

Though most famous as belonging to Nissa the Maiden, scholars say that this item was originally gifted to that lady by an alfar warrior called Oizye. Historians have long attempted to contact this fae, this far to no avail.


Evoke

A slight Elven maiden slides wearily from a foam-flecked white palfrey, her hair disarrayed. In her slender arms she carries a dark-haired Human child, its head lolling, maiden and child both covered with bright crimson blood. "Water!", she cries in Common, her ringing voice at odds with the weariness evident in her face and demeanor. For a long moment, the camp does not stir, the light of the moon Xibar illuminating beautiful features -- also undeniably Elven.

"Yes -- I am Elven. But this child needs help. Please!"

A grey-eyed man rides forward, dismounting, and takes the child. He turns and enters a simple tent, and seems surprised to notice the lady following. Arranging the child on a narrow cot, the woman begins gently treating each injury. Finally, the lady produces a tortoiseshell comb and carefully teases out the child's hair. The Human watches as if troubled, then says, "My name is Lanival." Without looking up the Elven woman replies, "And I am Nissa."
