Residing in the Barony of Dragonship Haven, in the East Kingdom, Vienna de la Mer was apprenticed to Duchess Roxane Farabi.  Her main focus is Embroidery; however, she's also interested in Gardening, Folklore, Cooking, Herbology, Helping Newcomers, Sewing/Costuming, Thrown Weapons, Beekeeping, and Archery.  Vienna is currently the Guildmistress of the Keepers of Athena's Thimble, the East Kingdom Embroiderer's Guild.
