Shana Meadkairk

Shana Meadkairk is a Half-Orc Monk and Azlan's childhood best friend. She is a non-player character.

Background
Shana presumably grew up in Sapotess alongside Azlan, as they were close prior to Azlan running away from home. It was at Shana's urging that Azlan actually ran away and joined the army. Years later, Azlan reconnected with Shana, now living in a village on Valrey, and the two joined the Monastery of Themi.

Shana and Azlan maintained contact through Sending Stones after Azlan left the Adventurer's Guild.

Fish and Father Inn
While Azlan stayed at the Fish and Father Inn in Lathannan, they called Shana to check in. The two bantered easily about life at the monastery and Azlan's new mission before Azlan ended the call to go eat breakfast. The Sending Stone then lost its charge, recharging on the coach that night.

Naomhgorm Transmission
On Naomhgorm Island, Azlan sent a short transmission to Shana at Ingrid's prompting. The message contained a warning about the Redemptionites' activities on the island, as well as a coded sequence of characters for verification and instructions for Shana to relay the alert to White Lotus. Shana accepted the message, then tried to question Azlan further, but the transmission went purple and cut out before she could complete her sentence. The Sending Stone then lost its charge, recharging in Halburton the next night.

66 Stratham
Shana attempted to call Azlan as soon as the Stone recharged, but Azlan declined to answer, as they were accompanying Anthony to 66 Stratham to meet Barry. On a later playback of the message, Azlan received the following:

 * Shana: Azlan, that isn't you out there, is it? I thought it was you. But it's not you. Is it? What is it? How do I-

[end of transmission]

Shana's whereabouts and status are currently unknown. The Sending Stone is out of charges for the moment, though Azlan left a message for her if she is able to hear it later.

Personality
Shana appears to be feisty and good-humored, with a strong tendency towards gossip. Like Azlan, she prioritizes individuality. She speaks in a laid-back and casual manner.

Appearance
Shana is a lithe and muscular half-orc with long, dark black hair that is partially shaved on one side. She wears robes with the colors of Themi and carries a metal-tipped staff.

Shana is likely close to Azlan's age, probably in her late teens.
