Origin Sand prophet of the Qezhar deserts
Sefa read stars under Aurenth's dome before she read the dunes of Qezhar, and was in the desert the night the censors blinded his other students; she keeps the rest of his lessons. Ossiane, the Drowned Augur, read from the roll that the Unwritten would rise from the desert scribes, and the Roll-Wardens came for every scribe she named. Sefa buried herself in the sand for a night and a day and came up as a storm. She fights inside it still: spouts that toss foes, dust that blinds and scours armour. The sand shows her every future but Ithren's, which is why she loves him. Her destined office is Prophecy, held by Ossiane, who cannot name him.
The sand writes what heaven fears to read.

Sefa learned to dissolve into the desert while fleeing the Roll-Wardens sent to purge the desert scribes. Sweeping the split nib of her black dune-glass staff across the earth, she sinks beneath the dunes in a sudden cascade of fine gold sand. She glides under the surface and rises yards away, kicking up a scouring wake that damages and slows all caught along her path.

She discovered how to command the desert's volatile breath during the long day and night she spent buried alive. Sefa stabs the base of her giant writing reed staff into the earth and carves an ancient glyph in the air. A towering spout of churning sand erupts violently beneath the densest enemy group, hurling soldiers high into the air and scattering their ranks across the dunes.

Aurenth taught her to read the subtle lines of fate across the dunes before his observatories were destroyed. Sefa traces prophetic arcs in the air with her reed-like glass staff, the red silk flutter catching the desert breeze. Her foresight extends the reach of her incantations, allowing her sand-magic to inflict punishing damage against foes whose movements are impaired or bound.

She adapted this abrasive blast from the fierce sandstorms that scour the sandstone mesas of Qezhar down to raw bedrock. Thrusting her dune-glass staff forward with both hands, Sefa sweeps a wide arc before her. A cone of shrieking desert wind and razor-sharp sand particles tears across the frontline, stripping away enemy magical protections and leaving their flesh scourged.

She learned to fuse sand into glass using residual starfire gathered from Aurenth's burned charts. Sefa flicks the split tip of her black dune-glass staff toward a single foe, tracing a sharp indigo sigil in the dust. A searing bolt of crystalline glass sand strikes the target squarely, melting their weapon edges and sapping the strength of their subsequent attacks.

She unlocked this cataclysmic tempest when she emerged reborn from the dunes to defy the prophecies of the Drowned Augur. Sefa plants her sandals firmly and twirls her black dune-glass staff overhead until the strip of red silk whips into a blur. A massive howling sandstorm engulfs her in a swirling vortex of golden dust, blinding attackers and scouring surrounding enemies with relentless abrasions.

Character sheet
Appearance
Sefa is a slight, sharp-featured young woman in her mid twenties with warm brown skin, high cheekbones, large dark kohl-lined eyes, a small gold nose ring and long black hair under a sand-coloured headscarf. She wears the dress of a Qezhar desert scribe: a long robe of pale sand linen with wide sleeves and indigo script-band borders, a dark indigo sash and plain sandals; fine sand pours endlessly from her hems and sleeves. Her focus is a scribe's staff: a tall rod of black dune glass shaped like a giant writing reed, its tip cut to a split nib, tied with a strip of red silk from a burned scroll. She writes in the air with it, and the sand follows the strokes. A thin ring of drifting sand always circles her ankles. Palette: sand gold, indigo, dune-glass black. Silhouette hook: a scarfed figure writing in the air with a huge glass pen inside a swirl of sand.
