Sudha, once a nurse and caretaker in the service of House Morthond, found herself entangled in a web of intrigue and mystery. Her past included teaching legends and tales to Aranwen, the twin sister of Arador, the Prince of Morthond. With her Daen Coentis heritage, Sudha was entrusted with the education of the young princess, nurturing her with stories and wisdom. As the Plague swept through the land, Sudha remained steadfast, assisting in the care of the afflicted and nursing the sick back to health. Her dedication to her charges was evident, but tragedy struck when her beloved Aranwen fell victim to the illness. Despite the loss, Sudha's belief in her "little girl's" survival never wavered. She claimed to receive visions that Aranwen was not truly dead but trapped underground. In the midst of the turmoil surrounding the fortress, Sudha's insights became both a source of hope and skepticism among the townsfolk. While some considered her to be clouded in senility, others recognized her ability to discern truth from deception, making accurate change and detecting deceitful actions. Sudha's persistence and willingness to share her visions held the potential to uncover the truth behind Aranwen's fate. Her association with "the Golden Tankard" and her sister Derra, along with the knowledge of the fortress's floorplan and escape passages, positioned Sudha as a valuable ally to those seeking to unravel the secrets of Morthondost. In her modest yet perceptive manner, Sudha played a significant role in the unfolding events, offering a glimmer of hope that Aranwen's fate might be different from what was widely believed.
