Nihmu

Kam Baqça’s daughter, Nihmu, is another high-caste Scythian character, this time representing the relative assimilation of many Scythians with the Greeks. Nihmu is already accepted as a religious figure in the temples of Olbia by age twelve, and has taken in many Greek religious ideas about divination, while remaining at heart a Scythian. She is an oracle — that is to say, she does not always speak prophecy, but Kineas often hears it when she is around. In addition, she is also a young woman out to prove herself, and so she serves with Ataelus’s Prodromoi in Tyrant: Storm of Arrows. Finally, she is a healer, as most female priestesses seem to have been.
