Powers and Abilities

Gwen's arcane mark

Wizard Abilities

Though she did not graduate from Wynarn University through credits, she has stumbled across great arcane secrets in her travels to propel her quickly to become one of the most powerful wizards in Khorvaire.

Martial Prowess

Not to be underestimated in physical combat, Gwen is not a stranger to fencing, nor is she afraid to pull steel. Outshining her skill with the sword is her impeccable archery skills.

Mark of Storm

Gwen is a scion of House Lyrandar and has the Mark of Storm, which has manifested itself on the left side of her neck. Her Least Mark of Storm exploded in power during the Battle of Arcanix and grew to a Lesser Mark. This surge in power allowed her to create a powerful windstorm to counteract the destruction of the Towers of Arcanix. Since then, her reluctance to display her mark has disappeared and she shows it now with pride.
