Pandora

Pandora is an elf cleric with forest nymph ancestry and priestess of Cysebelle who leads the Temple of Cysebelle in Quadroad.

Appearance
Pandora appears to be a elven woman with long blonde hair and green eyes. She wears vestments of Cysebelle and dresses in earthy tones with practical footwear.

Personality
Pandora is a holy woman who cares deeply for nature and people's ability to live in harmony with it. Despite her compassion for people, she has a mischievous streak, which she sometimes indulges at inopportune times. This can sometimes rub those seeking her assistance the wrong way, such as Reides. She also enjoys camping and communing with nature.

Background
Pandora has been at the Temple of Cysebelle in Quadroad for at least 100 years and has presumably lived much longer than that. On one of her camping trips, a deer led a starving Keras to her. She fed him and took him with her to Quadroad, allowing him to stay at the temple. During this period, she was accosted by slavers who intended to capture her for her sylvan blood. She feigned weakness in an attempt to discover the identity of their employer, but defeated them with powerful magic when Keras was beaten for attempting to intervene. The incident prompted her to suggest that Keras become a paladin in service of Cysebelle.

Quadroad Arc
Upon reaching the Temple of Cysbelle in Quadroad, Kilwin informed Pandora of Keras's death. She was saddened to hear the news, but was comforted to hear that there was a sign that Keras has joined Cysebelle's eternal hunt. She gifted Keras's armor to Kilwin, claiming that Keras would want it to go to use and that Alethus and Cysebelle are the closest of the gods, and purified it for him. She also allowed the Champions Valoris to keep Keras's journal, encouraging them to learn more about his life. She also informed Reides that a revenant was pursuing him and provided the party with the foundations of their knowledge of revenants. Although she was aware of the plight of the abandoned children of Quadroad and felt for them, she was unable to provide for them directly since temples of Cysebelle can't accept gifts of coin, only objects from nature. The soil around the temple was also unsuitable for establishing a food garden for the children. However, she proposed that the Champions Valoris could assist the temple in purchasing a farm to the north of Quadroad, for which the temple lacked sufficient funds, as an alternative means to house and feed the children of Quadroad. Pandora set up a meeting with the farmer where the Champions Valoris purchased Stardew Farm on behalf of the temple.

Entering the Exeter
After failing to find help at the gates of the Exeter and clearing out Kahzdurga, Kilwin used Sending to contact Pandora and inform her of the petrified people trapped in Gutsnake Gorge. Unfortunately, she was unable to assist them.

Goals
As a priestess of Cysebelle, Pandora considers herself a steward of nature and works toward its preservation and propagation. She also seems to bear a deeper animus toward slavers than the already significant baseline level for a decent person and, when the opportunity presents itself, is willing to present herself as a weak target in order to strike deeper against the core of any slaving organizations that attempt to move in around Quadroad.

Abilities
Pandora is a cleric of Cysebelle and has demonstrated the ability to magically purify enchanted objects and detect the lingering auras of unholy creatures. She presumably also has healing abilities and access to other divine magic, such as the fire spell she cast on the bandits who accosted her and Keras in the past.

Pandora and Keras
Pandora was the one who found Keras when he was lost and starving in the wilderness. She took him back to the temple and provided him with a temporary home as he recovered from his ordeal. She thinks Keras is a good man and seems to care for him very much, almost as a mother figure. Judging from his journal entires, Keras respected Pandora's abilities and also strove to repay her kindness. His attempt at rescuing her from slavers was what prompted his recruitment as a paladin for the temple. She was greatly saddened by the news of his death, but comforted by the knowledge that he had joined Cysebelle's hunt in the afterlife.
