She is best known for her report in Volume 36✝1 of the Pathfinder Chronicles in leading the first breaching of the Spire of Nex in more than a millennia,2 and also for her association with less-than-scrupulous mercenaries and vagabonds, the most famous of these being the renegade Pathfinder Eando Kline.3
Appearance
Shevala is a tall human woman with dark eyes, black hair, and a Varisian complexion.42 She has a stern demeanor but also a lighter more amusing side favoured by her more charismatic acquaintances.3
Career
Although she began her studies in Varisia exploring the ancient ruins of fallen Thassilon, she made her name within the Society by studying the many siege castles and towers that litter the Cairnlands outside the wall of her adopted home. The Spire of Nex, an immense siege tower located 10 miles to the north of the walls of Absalom, became her particular focus of interest. She studied it for many years, and in 4703 AR was the first person to discover how to unlock it in over 1,000 years.35678 To do this, Shevala employed a team of mathematicians to crack a complex cipher keyed to the Spire's "unopenable" door. Shevala's exploits was published in Volume 36✝ of the Pathfinder Chronicles.91011
Shevala also explored and mapped the two top levels of the dungeons of Red Redoubt of Karamoss12 and the Carinlands siege castle of El Raja Key.9
