Personality
Ragni is down-to-earth and compassionate. They enjoy learning about their customers and getting involved in their business.

Background
Ragni opened the Paragon's Rest some time ago and has gotten to know a variety of their customers, including some who were sent to Magmaslag Rock.

Entering the Exeter
The party met Ragni when they arrived at the Paragon's Rest, having learned that lodging there would be paid for by their noble patron. Ragni provided them with information on the city, some of its sights, and its ruler, King Thoros. They also provided Reides with his first taste of coffee, mixed with alcohol upon Reides's request. They offered to let Reides name the new concoction, which he dubbed Pog Coffee. After trying it themself, they added Pog Coffee to the Paragon's Rest's official menu.

Demons of Port Valor
Upon receiving notice that their new guests were wanted for the destruction of Port Valor, Ragni decided to trust the party and confront them with the news. They believed that the party was innocent and, learning more about the party's business in the Exeter, agreed to help how they could. The party decided to leave the inn both to people looking for them and to keep Ragni from getting further involved, although they claimed not to mind. Ragni helped the adventurers disguise themselves and slip out a back entrance, while promising to watch over their cart and horses. Magically contacted by Ashara, they also agreed to pick up the party's buried Bag of Holding and keep it safe for them upon the party's decision to infiltrate Magmaslag Rock. When the party was released from prison and their names were cleared, they returned to the Paragon's Rest to collect their things and say goodbye to Ragni. They were surprised to see the party so soon, but glad that they were more or less unharmed. Ragni was horrified by the party's account of the conditions of Magmaslag Rock and offered to treat them to a good day in the Exeter if they were able to delay their travel plans slightly. The party agreed, and Ragni plied them with food and drink for the day, refusing to let them pay. They also gave one of their old ribbons to Pepega. The next day, Ragni saw the party off, wishing them safe travels on the Dawn Road.

Ragni wants to create a place in the Exeter where people can feel as if it's their home, which is why they opened the Paragon's Rest.
