Roventa Da'lar (Roe-'ven-tah Dah-'lahr)
Weaver Roventa Andriela Da'lar
"This manor was left abandoned, to rot, as an example to the others. They broke the law... or rather, the matron of this house committed what could be called a social sin, and in retaliation all the other houses banded together to wipe them out. The only time the many houses of the court here acts in coalition is to snuff out a rival--when the armor shifts and the flesh is exposed--in which case they act with incredible and malicious unity--like flies to a corpse. How much worse do you think our fate would be if we, as outsiders who actually broke the law, were discovered? Let it not be so." -Roventa, explaining the need for extreme care when navigating Dark Elf society in the world below
Roventa Da'lar is a weaver of some renown within the The Spool. Having immigrated to Renelestre in 536 with the cross-world trading network set up by the Aelis family, Roventa set about demonstrating her skill within the particular craft of that The Spool became famous for. Within a decade, she had established herself as one of the most trusted "installers" of transportation tapestries, and was promoted to full "weaver" status, a rank just below that of master weaver which is held by three total figures within the whole organization. It is noted that she has installed tapestries in some of the most well guarded and private locations across the city, including many within the university.
Not much is known of her history or family pre-immigration to the Mundane, except that she was not of a house of any real means, perhaps not even of noble blood at all. Her ascendency then may be owed more to the meritorious philosophy of the guild than anything that can be said of her time in the world below. If she has a mate, it is unknown; despite the more culturally acceptable approach to partnership found among Shadowfane within the Spool, it is quite possible that Roventa holds to a more traditional dark-elven approach of casual affairs and matches of power, though it equally as possible that Roventa simply has no match in her current home. She has referenced that she had siblings, though how many and of what gender is not clear.
Perhaps most notably, Roventa was chosen as the sole representative in the investigation of the betrayal and defection of the Valvetti family. It was in this capacity that she, through a clever use of a planar transit spell, rescued nearly all of her fellow investigators by transporting them to the World Below before also leading the effort to bring them back safely to the Mundane World. During the Battle of the Golden Gardens, she led a troop of guild-aligned forces in pinning the main trunk of the Valvetti forces against the Aldgate walls before their ultimate feinted retreat and dispersion into the undercity.
