Shurengyla is one of King Doriath’s spies. She’s also frequently the person he uses to hire adventurers for low-level jobs. She tends to take on the mood of the group she is in and delights in tricking people whether she needs to or not. Her true appearance might be a slender, short blonde, but who can tell?
