The roads we walk are paved with broken oaths. Only in the Legion did I find my honor again.
—Dread Lord Shea of House Freydis
Captured by Imperial forces in her youth, Shea endured enslavement until Lady Freydis of House Thorn liberated her. This act of salvation forged an unbreakable bond between the two warriors, with Shea pledging her service to House Thorn for life; her ability to pledge an oath to Freydis again represented a return to her humanity, as a Tarth.
As a commander in House Thorn's forces, Shea leads Lady Freydis' druidic vanguard, a specialized unit that combines martial prowess with shapechanging nature magic. Despite her elevated position among the Dread Lords, however, Shea is unable to shake her memories in chains. Her experiences shape her leadership style: she commands through inspiration rather than fear, earning the fierce loyalty of her troops through shared purpose under the banner of House Thorn.
Shea's connection to Kazarius dates back to their shared childhood in the city Tarth. Where Kazarius chose a dark path as a Syndicate mercenary, Shea fell into one. Their reuniting in the Quest of Queens Irongrey Saga is a tense one, as Shea finds it difficult to reconcile with Kazarius' past as Mister Loan.
