Nan

Nan is a bard and instructor at the Conservatory. She works with her husband, Kenneth, and their most promising pupil Ariana.

She seems to be suffering from paranoid hallucinations seeing spiders everywhere she looks. She even has difficulty playing her lute because she sees spiders crawl out of it every time she picks it up. In hopes of helping Iolo gave her a pair of gloves for her birthday in hopes the protection they give would provide her with the confidence to play.

Tholden directs the Avatar to the bards of the Conservatory as he entrusted the mantra and rune to them. If Nan is asked of the mantra she will tell the Avatar it is 'mu'. Asked of the rune she will say they gave it to Ariana.
