Dame Linde zuKalward
Linde ZuKalward was a legendary Witch, Dame of the Astringent Order, and progenitor of the Lindwyrm species. She was driven to madness after experimentation by the Seething Eye and subsequent torture by the Astringent due to belief in her willing association with the Eye. Following this, she transformed into the first Lindwyrm, and the species became endemic to northern Wudor.
She remained a beast until her defeat at the hands of the Heilsdag Party, after which she joined the group. Eventually, she professed to conversion to the Myriadic faith, though she was considered a heretic for some time due to her refusal to worship Tyr. Long after the end of the Heilsdag Party, due to her semi-divine long-lived nature, she aided the Astringent against the Evershining Empire during the Carettic Divorce.
