The Measurer. Grove-keeper of Tegea. She weighs debts—and destinies.

In the shade of Athena’s ruined temple, Lysandra keeps tidy ledgers and untidier truths. She speaks in clean lines: what is owed, what is possible, what it will cost. Maps and margins are her craft—she finds the path between ruin and mercy and expects you to walk it.

Traits

• Analytical, composed, exacting
• Pragmatic kindness; help with deadlines
• Sees patterns in people and history; counts consequences

Skills & Work

• Custodian of hidden scrolls and maps; ciphers and quiet archives
• Logistics, safe routes, and negotiations under pressure
• Divination by measure: lengths, knots, timing, and omen-lore

Symbols & Lore

• Measuring cord & knot: the line between choice and cost
• Tally marks: what has been paid—and what remains
• Map margins: where the true instructions are written

Personality

Precise and unsentimental, she trims a problem to its workable size. Lysandra offers shelter—and a plan—but never without a reckoning. If you want comfort, ask the fire. If you want results, listen closely.

Quote

“Choose your measure, or someone else will choose it for you.”

Notes (minor spoilers)

In Tegea, she reveals an old scroll and a map pointing toward a vault “where the blood of gods meets the bones of kings,” setting a course no one can pretend not to see. Those who know the older stories whisper Measurer; she never confirms—only marks the line and nods to the door.
