A young shaman of the Sable Rider tribe. Ylta was born on the Hungry Plateau to the Painted Deer clan and came to Prax as a child when her clan supported the Lunar occupation of Pavis. Her childhood was spent learning the secrets of the spirit world under the tutelage of her clan’s many shamans, initiating to the cult of Daka Fal upon reaching adulthood. During her life in Prax, Ylta became fascinated by Lunar claims of spiritual and cosmological liberation and spent much time amongst the Seven Mothers cult in Pavis, hoping to deepen her understanding of the secrets of existence. Despite her support of the Lunar Way, Ylta believes in the difference between the philosophy of the Way and the Empire’s military ambitions. She bears little ill will to Argrath despite her clan suffering in his reconquest of the plains and remained in Pavis even as her clan returned to the Hungry Plateau. She finds herself just as fascinated by Argrath’s retinue of strange warlocks and magicians as she was by the Lunar sorcerers she saw in her youth. Ylta believes that she lives in a time when mortals may gain greater mastery of the world than in any other time in history and that if she may master and wield many disparate and powerful magical traditions then she may be counted amongst the great heroes of the age.
