One must be prepared to pay dues to the witch reigning.

A powerful witch, Malka Karimi resided in the cecaelia crafting village Spira Elen, off the coast of Parun. She was the leader and protector of the village up until her death at the hands of Adair Dushlan. Foul mouthed and cunning with a cruel temper, she was known for freezing enemies alive, shocking them with electrical attacks, and burning them. She was considered an unusually vicious cecaelia.
Thanks to Spira Elen's location, she was familiar and friendly with the Western Selkie settlement, and held no fear for them. As a consequence she saw no issue mouthing off to a predator more than twice her size, even to the very end.
She left behind a young son and a niece.
