Personal history

Lady Alessandra comes from the world of Greyhawk, a world far from Ghemjana. She made her way to Ghemjana via a Spelljammer ship, just in time to see the Empire of the Elves collapse.  From there, she worked as a mage and adventurer for a while, until she and her companions led a rebellion against the former Tyrant of Yynaria and set herself up as a benevolent dictator of the city.  She formed the Tri-Cities alliance with the other two pyramid cities, creating a powerful and profitable conglomerate.

Quotes & Catchphrases
"Yynaria is a home to all who wish peace and freedom from oppression. All are welcome here, no matter their past." "Sex is natural and beautiful, why are people so ashamed of their bodies?" "I don't care much for the hyper-religious. They're always carrying on about 'this is evil' and 'this is good', instead of asking, 'is this helpful'."
