Lyssa, the Widow of the Web, old and young
The Widow Of The Web is an ancient woman, once the beloved of Ynyr, who lives at the center of the Crystal Spider's web. Initially hostile, she makes amends with Ynyr, and they share a vision of each other in their youth.
For the sake of a girl that shares her ancient name, the Widow divines the location where the Black Fortress will next appear, then breaks her hourglass, giving the powerful sand to Ynyr, allowing him to escape with the information, but forfeiting both their lives in the process.
