-----------------------------------------------------------------------------



A barbarian heroine and like Cohen, a lifetime
in her own legend. She takes the form of a
well-rounded matronly woman of about retirement
age (for most women of her age) wearing minimalist
armour seemingly designed for a much younger woman.
The problem is, the much younger woman was also Vena...

Vena for a time retired from the Hero-ing business
after marrying an inn-keeper and becoming Mrs. Charlie
McGarry. Mrs McGarry went on to have and raise two
children (one now an innkeeper, one sadly a paper-maker)
who have themselves now had children. Following her
husband's death and having seen her grand-children enter
the world, Mrs. McGarry decided perhaps Vena should
return to the Hero circuit. The discovery at the inn of
a scroll that had been left behind by a guest dressed
entirely in black sealed the deal, as it were, and sent
Vena off on a quest to Dunmanifestin.

She is encountered whilst placidly knitting pleasant
wall hangings, that is until you read the message. Of
course, in barbarian hero circles "Eat cold steel Pigdog"
is possibly equivalent to "Home Sweet Home" one can never
tell sometimes.

However, those knitting needles in her hands are deadly.
