Rina Goldkeeper

Rina is the proprietor of a small, half-forgotten roadside tavern known as The Gilded Stave. Before the choker, she was practical, sharp-tongued, and surprisingly competent at keeping rough patrons in line and balancing the books.

Everything changed when she purchased a supposedly “harmless” relic: a delicate gold choker etched with ancient runic filigree, advertised as a “beautification charm that enhances presence and charm.”

It was not harmless.

The choker cannot be removed.

And it doesn’t enhance beauty in a normal way—it rewrites how she values herself.
