Aemilie

Aemilie, the Eleusian weaver, is the most prominent of merchants in the forestal village of Eleusis. The flaxen-haired Siren can often be found within a hollow of a huge oak in the lower of her two small shops, Silver Threads. Items for sale include journals, archery supplies, and a number of containers. The entrance to her gallery, Art of the Wilds, is also located nearby, where visitors are able to purchase wooden decorations such as birdhouses and statuettes.

In the past, Aemilie has suffered and survived hostile takeovers of her shops by Felisse's thugs as well as the master merchant, Rurin.
