Ressia Uvesic

Ressia Uvesic is the elven Scribewarden of the Vellum Steeple Archive in Uthodurn. As an NPC, Ressia is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Ressia is a tall, pale elven woman with platinum blond hair styled in a pompadour, and piercing blue eyes.

Personality
Ressia is very strict about the rules of exchange and payment for the Vellum Steeple. When Bells Hells met her, she was frustrated with the many disruptions caused by the apogee solstice, but, while at times brusque, willing to listen to them and exchange information. She also seemed genuinely concerned for the many people affected by the solstice.

Campaign 2: The Mighty Nein
The Mighty Nein went to the Vellum Steeple, accompanied by Reani, whom the Scribewarden knew. She retrieved their books once they'd paid for their entry, and accepted a trade of a history book and Courting of the Crick from Beau as part of payment.

After Caleb and Nott ran "Modern Literature", a con in which Nott pretended to shoot Caleb, as a distraction so that Jester could steal a page from a transmutation book, the Scribewarden kicked them out. Later, Beau and Reani returned to make amends. Beau also requested use of the library's teleportation circle, and was given a price of 100 platinum for access for a month, or 500 "in perpetuity." When Beau's attempt to negotiate for a lower price plus access to the Mighty Nein's findings on their travels, Reani offered to accompany another expedition to the ruins of Molaesmyr, which was accepted. She did not, however, rescind the expulsion on Caleb and Nott.

She was present when the party returned to Uthodurn from Mythburrow, and asked them that they be quieter next time. When the Mighty Nein returned some time later with the Clay family, having not contacted anyone currently at the Vellum Steeple, she bluntly told them to leave.

Campaign 3: Bells Hells
Bells Hells went to the Vellum Steeple at the suggestion of FRIDA in the hopes of learning more about the issues with Sending and other magics caused by the apogee solstice. When they requested arcane help, they were met by the Scribewarden. While she was somewhat harried and impatient due to Uthodurn's own issues with failing arcane magics, she agreed to research Ludinus Da'leth in exchange for the information Imogen provided her about the ritual performed at the Tishtan excavation site on the solstice.

When Chetney invisibly searched her office, he found that she had a number of maps on her desk as well as histories of past mass magic dispelling events. The Scribewarden then returned to her office, directed some of the other archivists to research Ludinus, as she had promised Imogen, and closed the door and drank a vial of dark brown liquid. Bells Hells returned the next day, and she provided them with a small dossier on Ludinus. They then asked her about Molaesmyr, as they planned to travel there, and she directed them to Auditor Keenash Serevoldin.
