Klynne is a Spell Siphon mentor. She's a fiery red Pevishan with a myriad of different moods and tempers, and an incredible flare for magic. She is an accomplished sorceress and one of the top Spell Siphon teachers generally known. Students travel far to seek her out and are often rejected. Most of those who enter her training do not complete it. Those who do invariably continue on to great adventures and accomplishments.

Ellowyn studied with her for some time, and enjoyed a particularly intense relationship with her -- more so than any other student she has trained.
