Historical Chronicles
Madam Solitaire is one of the most powerful and neutral figures in the magical underworld. Operating from an antique shop facade that is dimensionally expanded into a luxurious, gold-hued sanctuary, she regulates the trade of secrets with ancient authority. She immediately recognizes the feedback of Barty's Severance Sigil and reveals that the theft of his Kettle was orchestrated by Archivist Thorne, but only after Barty successfully brings her a petrified leaf from the Orkney Islands as a favor.
