Also known as: Ceria, Springwalker, half-Elf, the half-Elven mage, Elf, the Wistram mage, member of the Horns of Hammerad
A half-Elf mage belonging to the Horns of Hammerad who offers Ryoka a taboo alternative for her leg.
She is a half-Elf with pointed ears and wears robes that offer some protection against minor physical attacks. She relies on a wand to focus her magic. Suffered a skin tear on her leg from Skinner, a stab wound to her back and leg, severe black frostbite and peeling skin on her spell-casting hand, and lost part of her ear and cheek to a Ghoul.
Ceria arrives in Ryoka's room, expressing a debt of honor to the runner. She offers Ryoka a taboo alternative to heal her leg involving necromancy.
Arranges the meeting with Pisces, monitors Ryoka's condition during the journey, and reluctantly negotiates the exorbitant payment for the necromancer's services.
Ceria heals Ryoka's leg with a high-quality potion, uses a wand to remove the residual numbing magic, and helps direct the Horns of Hammerad back onto the road.
Ceria provides Ryoka with potions and dry rations, but realizes only after Ryoka has left that she accidentally handed over mana potions instead of health potions.
Ryoka compares Teriarch's robes to the ones Ceria bought and realizes her previous sickness was mana poisoning, not a result of Ceria's potions.
Garia mentions that Ceria felt extremely guilty about giving Ryoka the wrong potions, and has since left Celum for Esthelm.
Agrees to teach Ryoka magic in Esthelm, explaining the fundamentals before guiding her through a visualization test that successfully awakens Ryoka's mana.
Ceria teaches Ryoka about magic and leveling, dispelling superstitions about the Book of Levels. She then brings Ryoka to the mess hall and fields questions from the other adventurers.
Tries to mediate the escalating situation and protect Ryoka, but leaves in anger after Ryoka strikes her and refuses to calm down.
Ceria stops her party from attacking Erin, explains they are looking for lodging because the city is full, and respectfully negotiates to rent rooms.
Ceria struggles to master the [Illumination] spell, shows Erin her wand, and clarifies that she is a half-Elf who eats meat. She also strategizes with the other adventuring captains.
Helps manage the chaotic situation at the inn, tries to organize a search for Erin, and is bewildered by Erin's refusal to seek vengeance.
Ceria wakes up early, discovers the inn has been meticulously cleaned, and gets a bizarre breakfast of raw eggs from Toren. She attempts to magically heal Erin's sore throat, questions Pawn about the Antinium, and then walks to Liscor with Gerial.
Ceria discusses adventuring finances and Wistram with her party, insults Gazi, gets held at swordpoint, and burns herself to escape a web attack.
Ceria explains internal mana to Erin, spots a hidden Rock Crab, visits the Adventurer's Guild to clear paperwork, and tries to protect Erin from Calruz's relentless training.
Ceria eats breakfast at the Wandering Inn, reflecting on her past and her dedication to adventuring. She marches into the Ruins of Liscor, chatting with Olesm and Yvlon about their respective teams and Ryoka, before her Dangersense alerts her to a massive zombie ambush.
Survives attacks from multiple undead, including a bloody skeleton she decapitates. She casts [Illumination] to expose the undead, blasts a Crypt Lord with a [Fireball], and fights alongside Sostrom, Menes, and Gerial.
Explores the ruins, translates an ancient warning about Skinner using a Wistram spell, and is overwhelmed by her [Dangersense] when the monster breaks free.
Ryoka frantically searches for news of Ceria, only to be crushed when told her friends are gone.

“It wasn't me. Peminac cast [Numb], I think. It takes away pain, but it makes the affected slightly…odd. She should be fine, and it’s better than her feeling the pain. We just need to make sure to keep healing the leg every few hours.”
““You ran through the night to get here? And dodged an…[Assassin]? I really can’t believe that one, but you described a classic [Assassin] perfectly.””
““Just watch. I’m going to draw a symbol in the air. I want you to look at it and tell me what you see. Don’t worry; there’s no time limit. And if your eyes start to hurt, you can look away.””
