* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/02/12/5-59/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]) “They’re fine. Hearing about that was the only amusing news I’ve gotten all day. It was about time someone kicked your teeth in, with how many fights you seem to escape unscathed.”

* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/06/29/6-29/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]) “You can help. Ancestors preserve me, but I’m okay with that. Especially if you can get Klbkch to promise more gold. But you have to promise me—no disasters!”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/20/6-32/ To] [[Calruz]]) “Hah. No. But you’d be surprised—no one wanted to go. I think they were all waiting for someone to be the first. And then it slipped out of memory and…well, [[Erin Solstice|she]] did it. She was the first. But she didn’t just open Pallass to Liscor. She opened Liscor to Pallass.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/20/6-32/ To] [[Calruz]]) “Hah. No. But you’d be surprised—no one wanted to go. I think they were all waiting for someone to be the first.

* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/20/6-32/ To] [[Calruz]]) “…Because [[Erin Solstice|she’s her]]. And she walked around [[Grimalkin|with]] [[Maughin|them]]. As equals. And she treated with Pallass as equals. Do you know how that feels?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/20/6-32/ To] [[Calruz]]) “Well? What are you waiting for? Say Krshia does win. Am I throwing Liscor away? Tell me I’m not wrong to trust Klbkch. Or tell me I am. But if you don’t pass that bottle back in the next minute, I’ll call for a [Headsman] tomorrow. And I’ll make sure he has a rusty axe.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/08/31/interlude-two-rats/ To] [[Calruz]]) “Then I will consider your crime. But I am the law. And I judge. And I do not see the monster you would die as.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/08/31/interlude-two-rats/ To] [[Calruz]]) “What in the name of the Ancestors is a metabolism?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/10/15/6-49/ To] [[Olesm Swifttail|Olesm]]) “Of course it frightens me. And maybe [[Klbkch|he’d]] kill me, Olesm. And you. And this entire city. But you know the thing about traitors? It’s not all the times they obey that makes them a traitor. It’s the one time they disobey that does it. And I’m willing to bet on [[Erin Solstice|one]]. How about you?”

=== [[Volume 7]] ===
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/01/22/7-01/ To herself]) “Ancestors preserve our scales, if the Wyverns attack Liscor, I’m going to tie that [[Erin Solstice|Human]] to a ship and send her to Rhir. Let her bring disaster to the Demons.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/03/31/7-16-l/ To] [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]]) “…No. There was that idiocy Relc cooked up. Well, it was fairly good for morale and apparently Klbkch doesn’t have—why am I talking to you about this?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/03/31/7-16-l/ To] [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]]) “Stop. I don’t want to know. Stop. Right there. Don’t tell me. Don’t make excuses. I don’t want to…wait. I thought—”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/03/31/7-16-l/ To] [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]]) “True. Keep practicing, Lyonette. Come here and I’ll hit you with a sword. That cheers me up. Relc’s too slippery.”

* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/08/02/7-38/ To herself]) “Even when [[Relc Grasstongue|he’s]] gone, he—Ancestors damn it.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/10/14/7-52/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]) “Yes, ''you!'' I asked you to come here so I could listen to your input about the Raskghar problem! I do not have a solution! But I hoped—for once—that you ''would!'' I cannot let them be executed en masse! That is not justice!”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/10/14/7-52/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]) “Be Erin Solstice. The young woman who ''always'' had a solution. Who never backed down in front of injustice as she saw it. Give me—''something.'' Because I need ''help.''”

*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/08/7-56/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]) “Miss Solstice. I don’t know if it’s good I found you here or not. Please don’t make this any harder than it has to be.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/08/7-56/ To the Guards]) “They might have gone through to Invrisil. But I want this inn swept! Damn. ''Perimeter—check the outhouses!'' Of all the stupid—”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/08/7-56/ To] [[Jeiss Sielmark|Jeiss]]) “Do you think it looks good if the Watch finds the criminals and can’t arrest them, Jeiss? Or—if we had to arrest someone, do you want to go down that road?”

'''Zevara Sunderscale''' is an [[Oldblood Drakes|Oldblood Drake]] and "the" Watch Captain of [[Liscor's City Watch]], charged with the protection of the [[Liscor|City]]. Even after Liscor grew large enough to warrant fielding multiple Watch Captains, Zevara is the name that people think of first whenever the title is mentioned.

== Appearance ==
She is tall,<ref name="1.42">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/02/22/1-42/ Chapter 1.42]</ref> has a scar on the left side of her face, has light blue scales, and either yellow<ref name=":1.26">[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/11/13/1-26/ Chapter 1.26] </ref> or light purple eyes.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/18/2-03/ Chapter 2.02]</ref>

== Personality ==
Zevara has a very strong sense of justice, and takes her job seriously. She is torn between wanting to perform her responsibilities as Watch Captain properly, and the desire to go out and investigate crimes herself. This is also reflected in her two distinct but similarly-leveled classes.<ref>{{VERef|10.44 Z (Pt. 1)}}</ref>

She is a workaholic who regularly stays late at the office and pretty much never takes vacations. When ordered to take days off by a superior, she doesn't know what to do with the time.

== Background ==
Originally a Senior Guardswoman, Zevara reported her former Watch Captain Eresc to the Council after he ignored someone killing Antinium Workers due to his own hatred for Antinium.<ref>[[Interlude – Senior Guardsman Relc|Interlude - Senior Guardsman Relc]]</ref> She replaced Eresc as Watch Captain, serving for six years before the start of the story.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/10/07/3-21-l/ Chapter 3.21 L]</ref>

== Chronology ==
Erin met her the first time after the death of [[Klbkch]], which was reason for Zevara to retract any protection from the Wandering Inn.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/11/13/1-26/ Chapter 1.26]</ref>

Zevara was then seen again in [[Skinner's Attack on Liscor]], when she led the scrambled defense after the [[Undead]] had already invaded the city. Her duty to protect the city let her stop Relc going after Skinner and fight Undead in the city even after Skinner had left for the Wandering Inn.<ref name="1.44" /> Zevara then met Erin again in a debrief at the [[First Wandering Inn|Old Wandering Inn]] after the attack.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/15/2-02/ Chapter 2.01]</ref>

Just the next day, Zevara faced Erin and Ryoka after they had exited from the [[Ruins of Liscor]] with a rescued Ceria and [[Olesm Swifttail|Olesm]]. Her intention was to use their knowledge to loot and secure the ruins. She is at first still opposed to helping the surviving adventurers, but reluctantly offers help when she discovers that Olesm had joined their expedition and survived. However, the appearance of [[Gazi]] changed the entire encounter. Gazi starts a fight with everyone present by stabbing Zevara and was only defeated after being distracted with the news of the [[Flos Reimarch|King of Destruction's]] awakening.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/28/2-06/ Chapter 2.05]</ref>

Three days later, when Erin was loudly yelling for Toren as she had lost her skeleton during the explosion and rebuilding of her inn just outside Zevara's jurisdiction, Zevara stepped in and told the noisy human to shut up.<ref name="2.11">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/04/13/2-11/ Chapter 2.11]</ref>

Two days later, Zevara's authority was challenged again by the iPhone festival happening at the Wandering Inn, where she couldn't prevent the singing and dancing.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/04/22/2-16/ Chapter 2.17]</ref>

After [[Krshia]] captured Lyonette, it was decided that the human thief would be exiled instead of being executed. While Zevara was clearly involved in this decision, it was not shown directly and the political nature of the event meant that it also involved the enraged Gnoll community and the City Council.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/05/07/2-20/ Chapter 2.23]</ref>

Not many days later, Zevara had to break up a fight between Erin and her patrons, the Gnolls and two gold-rank adventuring teams at the Wandering Inn.<ref name="2.26" />

{{TBA}}

== Powers and Abilities ==
She is able to breathe fire, due to her Oldblood Drake ancestry. However, she is unable to breathe while using it, due to lack of oxygen, and can only manage up to ten seconds of firebreath before it feels like she is passing out.<ref name="1.44">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/01/1-44/ Chapter 1.44]</ref><ref name="2.26" />

Zevara doesn't have a [Loud Voice] skill, and regrets not having that Skill.<ref name="2.26" /> She can make do with spells or items if she has time to prepare.<ref name="2.11" />
