Cheerwarden Flicker Nimbletwitch Truespark (a.k.a. Tanglewhim)
Flicker Truespark is the wild-hearted Cheerwarden of Whaeyagaard, a Kender witch whose very presence embodies the boundless freedom and chaotic spirit of her people. Vibrant, unpredictable, and unfailingly curious, she is both a spiritual guide and a whimsical instigator among the Kender of the Surging Plains. As the informal leader of a settlement caught in the eye of wild magic’s storm, Flicker has embraced the madness of the land, not just surviving but thriving amidst the reality-warping energy. With a laugh like windchimes in a gale and eyes that seem to dance with latent spells, Flicker leads through joy, freedom, and sheer unpredictability, always one step ahead of sense—and loving every moment of it.

One of the first Kender to settle in Whaeyago after the chaos of the Surging Plains emerged. She became known for her ability to predict magical fluxes and her affinity with both fey beings and wild magic phenomena.

Accidentally reversed gravity in the entire Flux Grounds during the 873 Festival of surges, leading to a mid-air pie juggling contest. No injuries, but many complaints.

A failed attempt to stabilize a dying friend during a magical storm left Flicker with a deep aversion to time-stopping magic and guilt about her limitations.
