	''Quiet After.'' When the shouting spent itself, the pass went still. Astrid cleaned the blade, spoke the traveller’s blessing, and burned what ought not be carried. The mist thinned to honest weather. She walked out with ''Stjarnabrandr'' at her hip and the old life paying out behind her like a cut rope. By the time she reached the next house, the tale had outrun her; the lodges wrote it down, and the mead-halls learned the chorus.		''Quiet After.''

	Astrid is a ~~strikingly~~ attractive woman in her prime. She is taller than most avistani woman, just shy of being 6' tall, although the claims that she is about average height for an ulfen female. Although compared to most women she would be quite muscular, her figure is more toned than bulky, with her overall frame being quite slim, though well built; showing that she is a woman used to living a very active lifestyle and refusal to take an easy way out. She has blue eyes and ash-grey hair so pale that in the sunlight it looks almost white, and pale skin tone common to the ulfen. To all extent and purposes she appears normal human, but in moonlight or under the stars her aasimar heritage betrays her, and her hair turns an inhuman silver and glows with radiant light. Her hair is usually braided along the sides in ulfen style and self-serves as a knot for her hair to be contained but fall loosely behind her. It is usually maintained around shoulder length.

	Astrid usually wears her signature armour, mostly a combination of midnight-blue leathers, chain shirt and mithral breastplate, with cold-weather furs. When there is appropriate need she will change into more socially-appropriate attire but, accustomed to northern lands, is more likely to favour more rugged and practical dresses in the ulfen style than the more slinky and stylish southern-avistani styles.

	* ''Starsong Breastplate:'' This midnight-blue suit of breastplate and chain shirt armour is made out of mithral and allows the wearer to cast expeditious retreat once per day, and automatically casts dream feast each night on the wearer whilst they sleep.		* ''Starsong Breastplate:'' This midnight-blue suit of breastplate and chain shirt armour is made out of mithral and allows the wearer to cast expeditious retreat once per day, and automatically casts dream feast each night on the wearer whilst they sleep.
	* ''~~Shieldmaiden Skjǫldr~~:'' This light wooden shield once belonged to White Estrid herself and has a reinforced boss for extra durability, as well as specially-designed straps that allow the shield to be drawn or put away much faster than a normal shield whilst moving. It ~~can be~~ magically ~~resized within a few moments~~ to ~~effectively become~~ a ~~buckler or heavy~~ shield ~~for added flexibility or protection as desired~~.		* ''Hǫggskjǫldr:'' This light quickdraw wooden shield once belonged to White Estrid herself and has a reinforced boss for extra durability, as well as specially-designed straps that allow the shield to be drawn or put away much faster than a normal shield whilst moving. It is magically enhanced so that, when used to shield bash, it has the same impact strength as a much larger shield.
	* ''Stjarnabrandr:'' This longsword is made of of sky metal (commonly also known as numerian steel or adamantine) and is unbelievably sharp. It has the words ''the flash that cuts through darkness, the light that breaks the night''; inscribed in celestial script on the blade. When drawn it is outlined by a pale glow and leaves a trail of starry motes that shed light in her space and trail as strong as common torchlight. When the sword strikes a creature affected by magical means of concealment (such as an invisibility spell) the sword covers the creature in starry motes for a brief period, making them easy to locate for a precious few seconds until the motes fade.		* ''Stjarnabrandr:'' This longsword is made of of sky metal (commonly also known as numerian steel or adamantine) and is unbelievably sharp.

When the sword strikes a creature affected by magical means of concealment (such as an invisibility spell) the sword covers the creature in starry motes for a brief period, making them easy to locate for a precious few seconds until the motes fade. When wielded by faithful of Desna, it also allows them to make a potent leap or fire a blast of motes, both once per day.
	* ''Ulfen ~~War Axe~~:'' this ulfen-style mastercrafted ~~hand~~ axe is commonly employed for utility purposes and as a backup weapon. Although she relies mostly on her longsword, she has been known to employ it as an off-hand or secondary weapon.		* ''Ulfen Borðǫx:'' this ulfen-style mastercrafted bearded boarding axe is commonly employed for utility purposes such as ship rigging and other sailor's activities, rather than as a backup weapon. Although she relies mostly on her longsword, she has been known to employ it as an off-hand or secondary weapon, especially as it is balanced and can be thrown.
	* ''Ulfen ~~Dagger~~:'' this ulfen-style mastercrafted dagger is ~~mostly used~~ for utility ~~or emergency purposes~~, ~~though~~ sometimes ~~used~~ as a quick thrown weapon.		* ''Ulfen Knifr:'' this ulfen-style mastercrafted dagger is intended for utility rather than combat, like the more combat-oriented seax knives. Nonetheless, it sometimes finds use as a backup or quick thrown weapon.
	* ''Ulfen Hornbogi:'' this mastercrafted ulfen composite horn bow is adjusted to cater for Astrid's respectable strength and would be hard for most average and above average strength users to use.		* ''Ulfen Hornbogi:'' this mastercrafted ulfen composite horn bow is adjusted to cater for Astrid's respectable strength and would be hard for most average and above average strength users to use.

			* ''Ulfen Boots:'' Popular with ulfen vikings during their heavy-raiding days that involved sailing in perilous waters and sometimes harsh environments, these simple leather ulfen-style boots grant the wearer increased proficiency in acrobatics, climbing and swimming, protect the wearer as if under the effects of an Endure Elements spell, and once a day can cast the spell Spider Climb on self for a duration of 30 minutes.
			* ''Wineskin of Quenching:'' At the user's command, this simple ulfen-style leather wineskin fills itself with cool, fresh drinking water, cheap ale or watery wine. The wineskin can create up to 2 gallons (9 litres) of liquid per day.
	* ''Wayfinder:'' given to her by the Kalsgard Lodge when she became a member, this is a traditional magical tool given to members of the Pathfinder Society. At will it can shine light as powerful as a torch, and the mundane compass assists the user in avoiding getting lost. It has an empty slot that can hold one ioun stone, if Astrid ever finds one.		* ''Wayfinder:'' given to her by the Kalsgard Lodge when she became a member, this is a traditional magical tool given to members of the Pathfinder Society.

	These were her proving years, and good ones. She marked safe channels on winter coasts and wrote the names of shoals the sea forgets every spring; she walked snow-roads with trappers and post-riders, singing pace into numb legs; she hauled survivors off wreck-lights and learned that a verse held at the right breath can still a crew faster than any drawn blade. When the Venture-Captain asked, she filed blunt field notes that smelled of salt and lamp-smoke. When the road demanded, she waded into causes—most often against slavers and petty tyrants—and left behind a steadied town and a song that remembered who had helped. Folk began introducing her as a skaldic wayfarer first and a Pathfinder second, and she did not quarrel with either name.		These were her proving years, and good ones.
