Identity

• Name: Lyrie Akenja

• Role: Thistletop antagonist — hired to read Thassilonian script; manipulated Tsuto into betraying Sandpoint
• Status: Defeated by the party in the Thistletop dungeon (December 2025)

Who She Is

Lyrie Akenja is a wizard hired by Nualia for her ability to read Thassilonian — the ancient script carved into the ruins beneath Thistletop. She operates in the dungeon level. She is the person who seduced and manipulated Tsuto Kaijitsu into betraying Sandpoint to the Lamashtu cult.

She is not the cult leader — that is Nualia. But she is the human catalyst for everything that followed: Tsuto's betrayal, the raid on Sandpoint, Ameiko's kidnapping, and ultimately the party's assault on Thistletop.

The Encounter

The party found her in a rock cathedral deep in the Thistletop dungeon. They had already sealed themselves in by urinating on the Lamashtu altar (the door shut behind them). From the dark came howling — Screech laughed at it. The party was unafraid.

Two Jethounds emerged. Chaotic evil fiends. They fly. They have scent. Silver hurts them. The party hid, then Sneaky opened fire and killed the first one.

Then the second wave arrived: another Jethound, a Tentacle-hand monster that turned out to be a vicious firebomber, and Lyrie herself. The party won, but it cost them. After the fight they identified loot and rested despite the dungeon being on full alert.

Significance

Lyrie is why the party went to Thistletop. Her manipulation of Tsuto set the entire chain in motion. She is the indirect architect of the party's longest and most dangerous campaign arc — and she never saw herself as the villain of anyone's story.

Status
