Adsila

A svnoyiehinvdo-asivwy (moon-eyed person) asduidah from western Palhur, Adsila is a spiritspeaker from the era of mercantilism. Their people are targeted by colonial conquests, and they took up arms against them. During a ritual communing with spirits, they sought to travel through time with their consciousness, but accidentally sent their entire body through. Historically, this was an innocuous jaunt that they came back from quickly, but the Fragmentation has changed that.

They grew up in a small community beset by war - war from territorial disputes, war from colonial invasion, war from disputes internally that were egged on by colonial outsiders - and grew to detest it. For a time, they sought communion with the spirits as an escape, then later to seek wisdom that might lead to peace. Eventually, however, they were spurred toward resistance and war because the spirits demanded it. Outraged by the invaders, the spirits themselves sought to fight back, and they asked Adsila to be their vessel. The two-spirit answered their call reluctantly.
