Mataline

A strange but friendly middle-aged woman Belden first encountered at a meeting of the Ostraka. She is a seer who lives with her apprentice/servant Vianca in Rhenea, just next to the Black Down. She had visions about the heroes, and gave off an aura of peace and goodness. One of the Seventh, and a powerful spellcaster. She became romantically involved with Alexior Blessing. She accompanied the heroes to the inverted Arch and held back its guardian while they escaped through it, but in the process, she broke her staff and disappeared, though later divinations indicated she was still alive.
