Luca Syara
Luca Syara was a soldier for Cyre during The Last War. When the war ended, she moved to Sharn and began to produce plays.
She found a place in the Diamond Theater, and over the last two years her star has rapidly risen in Sharn society. Scholars and philosophers spend hours debating her works in the taverns of the University district. Luca is much sought after as a guest at social events and Morgrave functions, but she rarely makes public appearances.
Many of her plays wrestle seriously with issues raised by the Last War, exploring themes of nationalism, shattered idealism, alienation and grief, and the search for meaning in a war-ravaged world. For many, such serious, modern plays hold no interest and draw nothing but derision, but even those who hate her still talk about her. Her contract with the Diamond expires in another year, and certain circles buzz constantly with speculation about what upper-ward theater will snatch her up at that point.
