Tessa Aldstadt

A former Shard hunter, Tessa has since abandoned the guild. When you first encountered her, an unsuccessful break-in attempt forced her to command her demons to incapacitate you and throw you into her dungeon. Sometime later, you sent Vishera to approach her more politically. She revealed that she had been trying to destroy a phylactery, a magic crystal containing the soul of a powerful mind flayer. Having exhausted all traditional options, she began summoning demons in an attempt to prevent the monster from reconstituting itself. She sent you with the phylactery to the Ducal States to speak with the head of the Shaperate.
