Meliora Strumveil is a beautifully detailed miniature capturing the essence of a wandering minstrel mid-performance. Dressed in elegant traveling clothes with a finely crafted lute, she is the perfect addition to any tavern scene or as a graceful player character.
A traveling performer provides music for a camp or tavern audience, lost in the melody.
