Cyrene
The mountain’s seer. Blind in the eyes, all-sight in the quiet places.
High on Taygetus, where the wind combs the pines, Cyrene keeps a humble hut and a sharper wisdom. She speaks softly and lets silence do the heavy lifting. To the lost she offers tea, bandages, and the kind of truths that arrive like weather—inevitable, and sometimes merciless.

Quote

Notes (minor spoilers)
Cyrene found Thera when the mountain should have taken her, and set her feet toward what the gods would rather own. Some call her Spinner. She never confirms—she only pours the tea and asks if you’re ready to listen.
