Lysander of Messantia is a 19-year-old Argossean feminine male who fled a life of servitude in the infamous House of the Silver Palm, a brothel catering to wealthy clients. With his curly brown hair, soft features, and delicate build, he once served drinks and entertained patrons, but the kindness of a larger-than-life hero inspired his escape. Now free yet timid, he navigates the treacherous streets of Messantia, armed with a stolen shortsword and a desire for adventure.
