You're right. Maybe not.

Well, I don't think that the writers of the character stats are anywhere near as creative in augmenting as my players. With some preparation, I think that Kallyr's group is quickly at around 20M3 at least.

Then I will go along with this. Kallyr might leave Whitewall because (1) she thinks she can be more useful to the Rebellion working amongst the Quivini; and (2) she hates playing second fiddle.

I don't see her as an idiot - or particularly nice. Just very very loyal to her followers, to the Rebellion and to the Kingdom of Sartar.

I think she has learned quite a bit from 1613. I imagine that the Rebellion's failure was deeply shocking to her. And the recriminations towards her must have sucked as well.

Where else is she? We know she went to the Holy Country after 1615.
BTW, I've never really liked Leika Beti - she seemed to be just a pale Kallyr clone.

Any takers for a heroes list? Which of the OiD gang was down in Whitewall?
