Lynette Rooke

Lynette Rooke was a knight with the Istrian reserve order driven by wanderlust and the desire to find Silas Rooke, her brother. Lynette comes from the eastern kingdom of Istria, growing up alongside her brother Silas with the Istrian trade families. Her father oversaw frequent expeditions to the Shrinelands, so many of her foundational years were spent on the road. On one such occasion, the Rooke family witnessed the execution of the Black Cardinal by the Solist Church, an event that stuck with the young Lynette for many years.

When Silas went missing in Noslith in the spring of 1521, Lynette returned to the Shrinelands determined to find the truth. Lynette eventually joined the company of the cleric Lemuel and the orc exile Volkarr Broken-Tooth, two men who had previously traveled alongside Silas. Without any further leads, she accompanied them on their journey, canvassing Noslith for more information along the way. The trio was eventually hired to help investigate the disappearance of court wizard Piri Niven by his apprentice, Edmund Trencavel.

Together, the party ventured to the lost village of Hambor, where rumors had been spreading of Niven's magical tower appearing from thin air. When they arrived at the haven on the outskirts of Hambor, Lynette pulled information from the pompous Baron Averill, where he coyly suggested the Solist Crusade was responsible for the village's sacking. Lynette follows a personal code but has loose morals when it comes to the cost of life. She fully believes she did the right thing in slaying Matthew Averill in spite of what comes with it. She is often obstinate and even tactless in dealing with those who deny her honesty.

Lynette was able to survive through the intervention of Alennia Raerinal, albeit losing vision in one eye. Clad in an eyepatch and wielding an elven sword, Lynette and Silas were unable to take vengeance on Becuriel during the Eclipse and have continued to travel with the Dawn's Herald.

After the Order was badly defeated attempting to cross the Cold River south of Caer Brydion, Lynette and Silas decided to investigate the Western Weald based on rumors that the Iron Regent's men were seen stirring things up in the haunted forest after their defeat upon the lunar eclipse.
