Nan

One of the first characters to be invited to join the crew of the Allura, Nan Annadda acts as the ships potions master and healer, using her powers and knowledge of Alchemy and botanics to create powerful draughts for the adventuring parties' consumption, as well as endlessly researching the many questions and curiosities brought to her by her captains.

Originally from the western continent of Scholantis, Nan began her life as the daughter of human alchemist and elvish scholar in the City of Stairs where she would learn from both her parents, and eventually from professors at the highest levels of education within Scholantian society. This would not satisfy her endless need for more knowledge and at the age of 20, decided it was time to expand beyond the learnings of Scholantis and venture on to the relatively mysterious Askaria. It was not long after reaching Askaria that Nan was on her way to the capital city of Blackpool, her quickly growing scholastic achievements reaching the ears of the Tower of the Eye, and the Head of the Guardian Order, Allura the Eye. She was called on by the highest order of Askarian culture to cease her quest to learn and instead utilize all she had learned so far to aid in the Tower of the Eye as First Aid to the Eye, where she would act as researcher, potions master, head botanist, and keeper of the scrolls. Nan was at first hesitant to take up such a stationary position, fearing it would stun her growth as an intellectual, but quickly found the work she would do at Allura’s side to be the most stimulating series of tasks she had, and would, ever be presented with. Even with the option to move on to aid the new Eye, Lumous the Eye, after Allura’s retirement, she opted to stay by Allura, continuing her work right up until the unfortunate end of Allura’s life at the hands of The Arkens. Her best friend and employer dead, her research burned, and her home destroyed, Nan was lost. But it was in this loss that Nan found herself once again offered a position to help. The crew of the Allura pulled Nan and her fellow tower resident, Jacobi, from the burning tower of the eye not long after inviting them both to join the crew of the new ship, The Allura, named in those helpless moments after the death of its namesake. Nan could not refuse. She would take up position in the Allura, continuing her work aboard the airship.

Nan’s achievements aboard the Allura are abundant, though her work is never ending. She has healed nearly every captain and crew member of the Allura three-times-over, and saved them even more times via the collection potions brewed by her hand to their lips. She nursed Leviathous Ripley back to health after his release from the Arkens at the Battle for Moonstone, stabilizing him enough to remove his vampirism before it became permanent, and would be the first person his eyes would fall on after years in a coma. She aided in the removal of Bulwarks cursed leg, and installation of the metal blade that replaced it. After a great many weeks, she was able to determine that the Acid roses native to Allenko in fact contain the souls of the dead, something confirmed in at the destruction of the Shackle maw in Thorns when the souls of many dead rained down to their graves, acid roses blooming in each plot. Her work with the Acid Roses continues into the current time-line where she hopes to utilize their properties for some alchemical means.
