Steel

Steel is the Sword Protector of the Citadel.

She is an NPC played by Brennan Lee Mulligan with additional creative input from Aabria Iyengar.

Appearance
Steel is an older woman with freckled, pinkish skin and red hair, streaked with gray due to her older age. Across her face are four white, wavy lines, one covering an eye with a white iris. As part of her position, she wears embossed and filigreed golden armor, covered in the arcane runes of lingua arcana. Though the armor is especially decorative and “historically, would have been completely useless”, it is still “incredibly practical” with the additions of the runes. Over the armour she wears a high-collared white cloak. At her hip she keeps a holstered black spell book bound in iron and silver, and a sword that is also notably bejewelled.

In Steel’s first appearance, set many years before The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One during the Children's Adventure Suvi recalled her as “pretty” in her memories. She wore silver scalemail armor under an azure cloak, though she still had her jewelled sword and spellbook.
