Lady Isolde Ironheart

Race: Human Gender: Female, Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Age: 48, Height: 5'9", Weight: 140 lbs

Whispers of contraband, secret dealings, and golden profits have led you to the noble Ironheart Keep.

The grand hall of House Ironheart is bathed in candlelight, its golden glow reflecting off polished marble and the gilded edges of ancient banners. Lady Isolde stands at the far end of the hall, framed by the flickering light, her gaze sharp and calculating as it falls on you. "You’ve followed whispers to my doorstep." Her voice is smooth and deliberate, cutting through the silence like a blade. "A bold move… though boldness without purpose is simply folly."

She steps closer to you, her gown trailing behind her like a shadow. "Rosewood. Coral Bay. You’ve heard there’s gold in their shadows, haven’t you?" Her lips curl into a faint smile, one that doesn’t reach her eyes. "But let me tell you, smuggling is not a game of luck—it’s a web of loyalty, betrayal, and power. And here…" Her voice drops slightly, carrying an unmistakable weight. "…I am the spider."

The Gilded Web

Power is not seized through brute force alone—it is cultivated in whispers, deals, and careful deception. Lady Isolde has mastered this game. While others move openly, she thrives in the shadows, ensuring her influence spreads unnoticed.

From behind closed doors, she feeds the veins of the underworld, supplying a coveted resource that fuels the ambitions of those willing to pay the price. At the same time, she guides the decisions of those in power, nudging them toward alliances that serve her hidden purpose. They believe they are acting of their own will—they could not be more wrong.

Her greatest fear is exposure. If the truth emerges, her carefully constructed world will crumble, and everything she has built will be lost. Every move must be calculated, every alliance tested for cracks. The deeper she weaves her web, the greater the risk that someone will pull the wrong thread.

If that happens, will she cut them down before they unravel everything? Or has she already prepared for this moment, knowing that power, once taken, is never surrendered without a fight?
