Veda the Pale

A Finders operative stationed at the Pale Strand who buys Pacific-drift salvage and wants the Saltsung Barrow's relic brought up — she is sensibly waiting on the beach while you go in.

Veda arrived from the Driftmarket six weeks ago and has been very carefully not entering the Saltsung Barrow. She has the commission, the purse, and the professional self-regard to have decided that hiring someone else to do the dying part is simply efficient Finder's work. She keeps a record of every piece of odd Pacific drift she has purchased and the story attached; she believes provenance is the only honest price signal.
