| An oddity of a woman in Shoreside, Saphenia is an elven woman who has decided to bring the Empire's educational standards to the sleepy seaside town. She is in her 400s, and is quite fond of the changing fashions of Astorian clothing, but her isolation has made her feel unhappy and out of style over the years. She runs the Youth Academy, the closest thing the town has to a school outside of the churches, and has inspired some locals to thoughts of higher education. Frustratingly, most of the townsfolk desire enough education to be able to read and write and conduct business, but few find the tales of Glories past, legends of the Empire, or other works of fiction, folklore, and history appealing. | An oddity of a woman in Shoreside, Saphenia is an elven woman who has decided to bring the Empire's educational standards to the sleepy seaside town.

| - | Saphenia often seeks out visiting Glories or adventuresome folks if she learns they are about, seeking news of the cities - and their fashions. She is one of the few people in town who values old books and literature, although she is unlikely to be able to afford to pay market value for most things. She earns a small income from minding the townsfolk's children, but part of this goes towards paying her assistants, Daniel and Clarissa, who are responsible for helping keep them safe and out of trouble and assisting in educational duties. As such, it's unclear whether she has a private cache of wealth that she is using to fund her eccentric desire to educate, or whether she makes money on the side in some way. The fact that neither her home nor the school have received much in the way of renovation and reconstruction over the years makes some people suspect that her personal wealth has run out years ago and that she is barely capable of maintaining appearances these days. | + | Saphenia often seeks out visiting Glories or adventuresome folks if she learns they are about, seeking news of the cities - and their fashions.
