Manaia Turei

Manaia Turei is a gnomish druid, member of the Parlor of the Collective of Bodhan in Jrusar, and an ally of Ariks Eshteross. As an NPC, she is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Manaia is a gnomish woman who appears to be in the equivalent of her 40s. She has very long dark hair that is interwoven with beads and topaz gemstones. When Bells Hells first met her, she wore a vest that was strung with pieces of wire and beading.

Personality
According to Eshteross, she has a strong sense of justice, and a deep connection with nature. In her brief interaction with Bells Hells, she seemed friendly, though somewhat impatient with them.

Biography
In his younger days, Eshteross developed a friendship and alliance with Manaia, and she still owed him some favors. He told Bells Hells that she might be able to help transport them to someone who could resurrect Laudna, and to seek her out for that assistance. The party went to see her, but Imogen messaged Keyleth concurrently and Keyleth instead traveled to Jrusar and teleported the group to Whitestone, leaving Manaia behind. Upon the completion of their business in Whitestone, they contacted Manaia and asked her to open a passage for them to return to Jrusar, which she did using Transport via Plants. She told them to inform Eshteross that this cleared her debt with him.

Manaia was one of the people to whom Eshteross left letters, which were found by Chetney after his death.

Abilities
Manaia has the ability to translocate people across long distances using the Transport via Plants spell.
