In her younger days, Larissa was a seasoned member of the Guild of Exploration and Discovery who was known for venturing into long-forgotten dungeons and unearthing relics and knowledge from ancient civilisations. However, age has caught up with her and for the past few years Larissa has acted as a sponsor and mentor to younger Explorers, supporting them with research as well as organising and coordinating expeditions, digs and other fieldwork.
When she heard that an expedition would be travelling to Terra Peran, Larissa's old explorer's itch started acting up and she eagerly volunteered to be on the first ship out there. Though it is inevitable that the Guild of Exploration and Discovery will eventually set up a permanent chapter house and base of operations in Haven, that will take time so for now Larissa represents their interests in this new world.
