A ranged fighter who knows the prophecy and drew a bow against her own party member when Blackrazor forced a choice between friendship and survival.
Background
History
Selene is a Mephistopheles Tiefling ranger who survived in Icewind Dale before joining the party. Her experiences there formed the basis of the Ranger's Guide to Survival in the Rime — a physical document she carries, written as a practical guide to surviving the tundra. The guide is both a piece of her history and a tangible item in the game world.
Her infernal heritage marks her as unusual, and her survival in the harsh northern climate speaks to her resilience and determination.
Crescent Blade Prophecy Knowledge
Selene (alongside Kavu) is explicitly aware of a prophecy involving "a blade taken from a living terror, a survivor pulled from certain death, and a chain of events leading to catastrophe." She invoked this prophecy when Othorion recovered Blackrazor from the Tarrasque's living wall (Session 3). She opposes Othorion keeping Blackrazor.
Character Arc
Arc Summary
Selene's arc centers on prophecy, loss, and magical corruption. She knows of the Crescent Blade prophecy and has witnessed its fulfillment. Her grave wound from Blackrazor in Session 4 was a defining trauma — inflicted by a party member under magical influence. Her recovery represents both physical healing and processing the betrayal.
