"First, let me introduce you to yourself" (Beware RotE Spoilers)

[Nuytsia]

That would be my best guess too ... but I really wasn't sure!
It's soooo romance novel-esque!
In no way did I picture those two characters like that!!! For starters Althea is meant to be about 18? The woman on the cover looks more like 28..... also I doubt Althea wears all those little gold chains and jewellery and wears make-up!
Brashen looks like a total geek!

The golden dragons freaked me out too!
And the figurehead! I know!
They are supposed to much bigger and more stylized than that one surely!
That looks like an a real naked woman on the front of the ship...!

These beings would guess those two would be Althea Vestrit and Brashen Trell. What 'thul wonder about is what the in the name of helheim those golden dragon lantern holders are. And why the figurehead of Vivicia is so tiny. Liveship figureheads are many times the size of humans, and that one is human-sized.
