Kirka

Kirka is a woman in the campaign Zincirsiz ("Unchained") who works magic and hunts a jewel kept in the mountain of Azbo. Jonathan River and Olaf first saw her, unnamed, among young riders searching the road for thieves. Hearing her voice unsettled Jonathan against his will. She answered one of the men as "sir", and as she worked a spell with her hands a damp wind blew and the branches of nearby trees withered.¹²

The riders passed without finding the hidden pair. Jonathan later recognised the words he had heard, though he did not understand them, as Sylvan, the tongue of the fey. Her magic seemed to flow out of her body, unlike the gestures taught in the schools, and he wondered whether it came from another plane.³⁴⁵

Suspicions

The shaman Gromak said that before a battle broke up the orc camp he had heard a shrill woman's scream from no one knew where. Jonathan connected it with the spellcasting woman of the road, and his suspicion grew when the acid rain that followed proved to have done its worst towards the soldiers' camp.⁶⁷⁸

At Darka's rooms

She came next with five or six humans to the buried rooms that the companions had just escaped, and mockingly named them the dwelling of Darka, brother of the great Azbo; the spirit at the door watched her in anger. Watching through his owl Bold, Jonathan saw her throw off her cloak, showing dark tattoos across much of her body that seemed to swallow the light. Her scream of rage spread fear all around, and she hurled herself inside, where something crashed.⁹¹⁰¹¹

On the road to the mountain her voice was heard again, and at her words animals fell dead; Jonathan thought it was done to cut off the shaman's animal messengers. Through a spyglass she was later seen giving orders to humans near an orc camp.¹²¹³

In Darka's diary she is named as a sibling, "our sister", of whom Darka feared that the road she had taken would end in disaster. When Jonathan described the woman, Azbo knew her as Kirka and said she was his sister; he added that she is bound to the forest, so that no one could hide from her there. She had captured the orc chief Brakar and Gromak.^14151617

Kirka then came alone into the tomb, shattering the passage and building a path of vines across the chasm, and greeted Azbo as her brother. For the jewel she offered to leave the mountain and the companions in peace, to let them go into the forest and to give them treasure; when they did not trust her, she threatened to kill the humans first and then Azbo. She drew Jonathan's licence through the air to her hand. Seeing that the bargaining was a stall, she moved to hold Jonathan fast with magic, but he acted first. At her next scream rocks fell and vines tore at the mountain, and Azbo cast the companions out. How the fight ended is not known.^18192021
