Stell Hekhiin Amir-Tuman, arcane duelist for house Hajadim. One of Serpent Song's few human characters.

Where most arcanists use gravity magic to lift and move objects, Hjumeshi monks like Stell use it to accelerate their bodies in combat. Though it can boost their strikes to supernatural speeds, peak physical condition is required to prevent the magic from pulling the user's body apart.

After learning to master her martial art, Stell entered military service in house Hajadim’s army. Her skill in combat made her ideally suited as a duelist. Imperially sanctioned duels are often used to settle disputes between the houses to avoid outright war, and Stell’s prowess in combat has led to tremendous territorial gain for house Hajadim.

Stell is, however, a peaceful soul at heart, and grows weary of her life as a tool for Hajadim’s political gain. She leaves the service to seek out a more fulfilling life helping those in need. She is brutally strong and swift in combat, but altogether a gentle and abiding soul. She worships Pramath the fire lord, the patron deity of most humans in Samshara. The grey ash painted over her eyes and rubbed through her hair is part of a daily meditative ritual, where a small flash-fire smolders in her hands to prove her piety.
