Imrelya “Threadwise” Vance
She doesn’t weave cloth—she weaves memory, music, magic, and meaning into every strand.
Name: Imrelya “Threadwise” Vance
Race: Rock Gnome
Class/Role: Weaver & Textile Artificer
Age: 393
Appearance: Imrelya is a small, sprightly gnome with wiry grey hair tucked under a pointed thimble-shaped cap. Her clothes are layered in enchanted scarves, patchwork cloaks, and thread-bound pouches that shimmer with soft, woven glyphs. Her spectacles sit low on her nose, and her fingers never stop moving—spinning, threading, tying loops in midair. A single embroidered sash always trails behind her, whispering faintly in languages only some can hear.
Backstory
Hailing from the loom-temple of Loftwhorl in the Verdant Weald, Imrelya was once a humble apprentice who discovered an ancient spindle hidden inside a singing willow. It whispered to her, not with words, but with patterns. Decades later, she had perfected her craft: textiles imbued with subtle enchantments—garments that hum lullabies, cloaks that erase your scent, and gloves that remember the last thing they touched.
Her clients range from noble houses to wandering druids, but she rarely sells directly. She believes fabric absorbs the essence of its wearer, and she insists on knowing the heart behind the hands she weaves for.
