Chapter 2

While not openly hostile toward the cities, Ioniyeh is not
interested in seeing them get larger and overrun the wild lands.
By aiding her friend Thresinok in his retrieval missions against
the Spire she feels she is doing a small part in preventing the
cities from growing any larger. The reason she does not hate
the Tribunals the way she hates the Empire is the simple fact
that they seek to protect the cities existing. The Empire,
however, seeks to civilize and destroy one of the things
Ioniyeh loves, and that is unacceptable.
On a related note, Ioniyeh finds the Justiciar Alarian to be
wasteful and moronic. She also finds it amusing that the
Outlanders have such incredible reading skills.
She will elaborate.
1. Ioniyeh does not like to waste food; therefore, she will
often be found picking steaks and things of the like up off the
ground for her own personal use. This being said, Alarian asked
a small favor of Ioniyeh. He wished for her to sing for some of
the people in the ruined city to help keep their spirits up. But
before she even got a chance, she opened her mouth and popped in
a couple of steaks. Alarian, with his keen eye and judgmental
mind, recognized these to be steaks of some sentient being and
immediately decided Ioniyeh was a cannibal and unworthy of doing
what he asked of her. The man wouldn't listen to reason, so
now Ioniyeh harbors something of a grudge toward him.
2. When Ioniyeh delivered a missive for Manden, the Provost
magistrate of the Spire, she went out of her way to add a
disclaimer to the beginning of the message so her Outlander
friends wouldn't take the matter the wrong way. She was later
informed that she might be hunted for delivering Manden's message
anyway, despite the fact that she specifically explained that she
would not refuse to deliver any message or censor anything to
better suit her views. She grows more than a bit weary of having
to explain her actions.
