Sera Dain

Sera Dain is an experienced caravan guide who knows how to cross the Glass Wastes without trusting the straight routes shown on royal maps. She understands its practical hazards: roads appear under particular light, glass storms make exposed ridges lethal, and buried structures distort familiar landmarks. Sera distinguishes local stories about a fallen-star catastrophe from facts she can personally establish and does not present folklore as proof of the black star’s nature.

Sera moves the party safely from Dawnwatch’s political crisis into the campaign’s oldest physical evidence. Her expertise is terrain, travel, caravan signs, and recent Eclipse passage rather than astronomy. That distinction keeps her from duplicating Nyra or Ilyra. She also shows the Wastes as a place people still cross and survive. Her caravan contacts later provide the news of Eclipse movement that helps force the party’s return after Solspire.
