Niah

Niah is an entrepreneur and prospective innkeeper in.

She can initially be found on the square platform in the docks in the south-west part of Ondra's Gift. Once you've accepted her quest The Wailing Banshee, she walks towards the lighthouse and waits outside of it. Once you've completed that quest, you can find her inside the lighthouse as the barkeeper.

Background
Niah is from New Heomar, on the northern coast. She came to Defiance Bay looking for a fresh start and a business opportunity, and settled on buying the abandoned lighthouse in Ondra's Gift in order to restore it and develop it as an inn. Unfortunately, it seems her choice of location is haunted. She speculates it may have something to do with the final battle of the War of Defiance, when the district was flooded by Admeth Hadret's forces to finish off the Aedyrans during the Lover's Tide, but as she's not from the Bay, all she can offer is her best guess.

Quests

 * The Wailing Banshee: However, it turns out that the locals consider the lighthouse haunted and won't go near it, so she can't find workers to carry out the necessary renovations.
 * Brave Derrin: She says that she never heard of a child called Derrin.
