Backstory

Niamh grew up on the edge of a misty bog, where fog and wind shaped everyday life. From an early age, her sensitivity to signs in nature was recognized.
Trained by druids, she now carries the responsibility of rekindling the ritual fire at Samhuinn, marking the beginning of winter.
As guardian of the threshold, she preserves the balance between humans and nature, guiding her community through the dark season.
