Notes: Channel pool 7. Former Mindweaver who has reportedly 'retired' from active casting — though the Lanterns Saloon's strict 'No Magic' rule has never been broken, which suggests her retirement may not be as complete as advertised. Knows everyone's secrets. Sells information. Enforces Rustwater neutrality.
Former Mindweaver, now saloon owner. Maeve Callahan runs The Lanterns — the de facto town hall of Rustwater and the only building in town with reliable electric lights. She enforces a strict “No Magic” rule inside, which she has personally enforced exactly once and which has never needed enforcing since.
She knows secrets. She sells information at prices calibrated to the buyer’s desperation. Sheriff Crowe drinks at her bar; Maeve has never asked for a favor, and Crowe has never been able to refuse one.
Tactics
Maeve doesn’t fight in her own saloon — the rule is the rule, and breaking it would cost her more than any single encounter is worth. Outside the Lanterns, she’s an Elite-tier Mindweaver with three Mettle and a long memory. She prefers to never be in a position where combat is necessary; her best tool is knowing what you want before you do.
Plot Anchor
Any plot hook involving information brokerage, faction-neutral safe passage, or “who in town might know…” runs through Maeve. She is the spine of Rustwater’s social geography.
