Song: Hugh Laurie - St. James Infirmary
"I am Ferah, the Keeper of the Den. Please remove your shoes before entering, I just cleaned."
An Elven woman possessed of an impassive expression and monotone voice. Her nickname comes from an Elven fable that is widely known but no one can locate the origin. In it, a daughter of a noble family is beaten and told to smile whenever she dislikes something. So she smiles all the time. A series of tragedies befall her family leaving her with her vast fortune, thus she never smiled again. Unlike the story, Ferah was never a noble, her family were traveling merchants. Ru'Sala helped save her life once and Ferah has since wanted to repay the favor.
Outisde of her official duties, Ferah will spend much of her time in the Company library. With the company pulling from so many different origins, she's always got something new to read. Oftentimes, she'll collaborate with Ashrel on rarer tomes. Her other major hobby is botany and the mixing of plants for various ointments, teas and poisons. Though never said outright, no one else in the castle does the shopping so her trading origins and skills at haggling are kept sharp.
Officially, Ferah is in charge of keeping Ru'Sala's castle, commonly called 'The Den', clean and organized. It is also where they meet employers, diplomats and conduct business so she is kept busy with that. Though, her less obvious job is the Company interrogator. When information is needed, Ferah is adept at pulling it in exchange for making the pain stop. Her concoctions making even the strongest will tremble.
