Atho Narchanezhen

Atho Narchanezhen was a member of the Curneisei and Tethimadeise Conspiracy that sabotaged the Wisdom of Choharo.

Appearance
She had “the full-blood elf’s ferret face and wore her white hair in a worker’s crop.”

Personality
She was one of the most intelligent members of the conspiracy whom Thara Celehar met while investigating. She read Curnar metaphorically, and was anti-establishment and supported women's rights. She hated government officials, or at least royalty, and did not regret killing them.

Life
Atho was seemingly an airship worker in Amalo who was part of the Curneisei. She colluded with Duke Tethimel, Eshevis Tethimar, Aina Shulivar, Evrenis Bralchenar, Odris Ubezhar, and sympathetic nobles to murder Varenechibel IV and his sons, and place Eshevis in the regency for Idra Drazhar, as part of the Tethimadeise Conspiracy. She served as the courier between Odris and Aina.

When Thara was investigating the crash, he met Atho at the Stone Tree, and reasoned through his investigation that she was involved in the conspiracy, though not how. Thara later discovered that she was the courier.

Atho was eventually brought to the Untheileneise Court and jailed for her participation in the murders. Maia Drazhar came to visit her before her trial. Atho said that she did not recognize Maia's authority, and that their conspiracy was glorious. She was later tried and executed.

Aina Shulivar
Thara “heard many long arguments between her and Aina about whether man’s power over woman is natural—and therefore unchangeable—or not”.
