![[CassandraThannPathfinder-v2.webp]] # Cassandra Thann _Human Cleric | [[Church of Tyr]] | [[Fort Ten-Torch]]_ ## Summary [[Aribeth de Tylmarande]]'s closest friend at [[Fort Ten-Torch]] — and the woman who watched [[Vareth Justicar]] execute her. In Session 80 she told [[Lynne]] the truth: that Aribeth survived [[Isarr Kronenstrom]]'s forces, was transformed by the [[Sewn Sisters]], returned undead but still herself, and was destroyed by her own Order. Cassandra helped construct the cover story, and is [[Lynne]]'s most direct link to her mother's final days. %% ## Now Told [[Lynne]] the truth of her mother [[Aribeth de Tylmarande]]'s execution by the [[Order of the Gauntlet]] — the revelation that broke Lynne's faith in her Order. Still carries the guilt of the cover story. ## Appearance Early thirties, auburn hair kept practically short, freckles she never outgrew. [[Tyr]]'s balanced scales hang at her throat; she touches them when anxious. ## Personality Genuinely kind, occasionally stern, she deflects vulnerability with dry humor — blunt when comfortable, formal when guarded. She hates politics, part of why she fled [[Waterdeep]], and is privately romantic in ways she'd never admit. She covers her own doubts with busyness and service. ## Quote _"Tyr teaches that justice requires sacrifice. I have to believe that. Otherwise, what's the point of any of this?"_ ## Connections **[[Aribeth de Tylmarande]]** — mentor, friend, and the mother figure she never had. **[[Vareth Justicar]]** — passed judgment on Aribeth while Cassandra pleaded for alternatives. **[[Lynne]]** — Aribeth's daughter, to whom she finally told the truth. ## Background **The Thann Expectations:** Eldest daughter of [[House Thann]], expected to marry well and manage estates, she rejected it all at nineteen for the [[Church of Tyr]]. Her family considers her wasted potential; she considers herself free. **The Frontier:** She requested [[Fort Ten-Torch]] specifically because it was hard, and found purpose in the brutal north — and found [[Aribeth de Tylmarande]], who became mentor and friend. **The Execution:** When Aribeth returned transformed, Cassandra recognized her first and pleaded with [[Vareth Justicar]] for time and alternatives. He was immovable. She held Aribeth's hand at the end, and now tells everyone the Silverhand died a hero fighting giants. ## Stats [[Priest]] - CR 2. AC 13 (chain shirt); HP 27 (5d8+5).
