Chendera is Lord Drysdale's chief rival in the Keep. She is a short half-elf with long black hair, and worships Avandra, goddess of luck, freedom and independence. Before the arrival of Lord Drysdale, Chendera was the spiritual leader of Restwell Keep, and she resents her diminished authority.

Apart from their theological differences, Chendera feels that Lord Drysdale's policies might anger the denizens of the Caves of Chaos. While she is not a warrior, she is more spiritually aware than any other in the Keep, and she senses that there is an evil in the Caves of Chaos beyond the monsters that live there, an evil that is currently dormant but that she fears may turn its malice outwards once more because of Lord Drysdale's actions.
