Description

Atri-Ceda Aranict edged aside the curtain and stepped within.  She was tall, somewhere in her late thirties though the deep creases framing her mouth – from a lifetime of rustleaf – made her look older, although something about those lines suited her well.  Her sun-faded brown hair was straight and hung loose, down to either side of her breasts.  The uniform of her rank seemed an ill-fit, as if she was yet to become accustomed to this new career.  Bugg had found her in the most recent troll for potential cedas.  She had been employed as a midwife in a household in the city of Trate, which had suffered terribly at the beginning of the Edur invasion.  Her greatest talents were in healing, although Bugg had assured Brys that she possessed the potential for other magicks. (DoD)

Brys : "Atri-Ceda, you have only begun your explorations of the Malazan warrens, and yet you have extended your sensitivity all the way to the Wastelands.  I see now why the Ceda held you in such high regard.  However, come the morning we shall send you in a launch to a Malazan barge."

"Perhaps the one where Ebron will be found, or Widdershins –"

"Squad mages?  No, Atri-Ceda.  Like it or not, you are my equivalent of High Mage.  Accordingly, your appropriate contact among the Bonehunters is their High Mage, Adaephon Ben Delat." (DoD)
