Villa of Fioranna Aielestriel
The home of Fioranna Aielestriel, elven envoy from Nyrond, stands apart from the other estates in the High Quarter.
Unlike the ostentatious manors of the nobility, her villa is elegant yet simple, reflecting elven aesthetics.
All rooms open to the outside, surrounded by lush gardens, vibrant flowers, and flowing water features. A graceful fountain, with cascading streams and interconnected pools, encircles the grounds.
A Secret Beneath the Villa
Unknown to most, a hidden entrance beneath the villa provides direct access to Greyhawk’s sewer system—a discreet escape route or a means of covert travel through the city.
Fioranna Aielestriel – Ambassador from Nyrond
The graceful and poised grey elf stands just 5'0" tall and weighs a mere 83 lbs., but her presence is commanding. Her shining violet eyes and ready smile adorn a high-cheekboned face, crowned with a fine nimbus of silver-gray hair. She dresses in elegant cream, blue, and silver garments, complemented by emerald-studded earrings and a matching choker.
Though she appears no older than her late 20s in human years, Fioranna is over 700 years old, with centuries of wisdom behind her.
The Mask of Diplomacy
Officially, Fioranna represents Nyrond’s commercial interests, as the kingdom is Greyhawk’s largest trading partner. However, her true mission is far more significant. She is an agent of the Iron League, overseeing vital shipments of food, cloth, and weapons bound for the southern allies resisting the Great Kingdom.
To maintain her cover, Fioranna pretends to be a minor mage, a deception widely accepted due to her diplomatic role. However, she excels in enchantments and illusion magic, using spells like invisibility and charm to gather intelligence and safeguard her operations. She also possesses several powerful magical items and, if needed, can teleport to Rel Mord to acquire additional arcane resources.
While she discreetly monitors Greyhawk’s Oligarchs, Fioranna avoids direct political intrigue, ensuring she remains above suspicion. Her formal dealings with Nerof Gasgol pertain strictly to trade, reinforcing her image as a diplomatic figurehead.
Fioranna frequently visits the Star of Celene , blending into the city's cultural elite while subtly guiding Nyrond’s interests.
