Kyriela, a wizard, traveled far — both attributes uncommon for a dwarf — to get to Otari. But Otari was founded by another dwarf wizard, Zarmibdean. And this is one of the things that attracted Kyriela to Otari. Kyriela likes to hang out at the bookstore in Otari. Her family is of a clan called the "Deathwarden"s. They defend a wall to the north from an onslaught of undead.
