Notes:
Alzina Steelgrin is probably one of the more powerful necromancers remaining in Coeur d'Ennui, and certainly one of the better-known. Unlike many of her fellow practitioners, she stayed in the city through the worst of the Edicts, though whether out of insanity or confidence in her own power remains a matter of dispute to this day.
She is known to haunt the city's south side, but if Alzina has a single permanent residence or laboratory, its location is not widely known. It is rumored that Alzina steals corpses from poorhouses and hospices, and a few whisper that some of the bodies she takes are not dead when she takes them. If this is true, it has never been confirmed.
Alzina is a tiny, bone-thin woman of indeterminate age, old enough that gray streaks through her black hair but young enough that she still possesses a feral, slightly deranged beauty that manages to be more alarming than attractive. Steel fangs cap her upper canines, and she dresses only in black. Although she is not actually undead, she tends to be active only at night and is never seen during the day.
Following a devastating attack on her shack, Alzina is rumored to have taken leave of the city. Some say that she was killed in the attack; others claim that the necromancer killed the intruders, and did so with such excessive brutality that the city guard could no longer ignore her presence and she was forced to flee lest she be captured and hanged. Speculation on who attacked her, and why, is as rampant as it is implausible. The only point on which all parties agree is that, at least temporarily, the Steelgrin is gone.
