Sedna is correct in every matter where rationality would give one the correct answer. You can have some of the brownie points I just got from puffyn.
Wohoo, go rationality. But since puffyn's brownies are non-redeemable for store credit, I'll have to try a little harder. If The Lady in the Tower is a real character in the game then she's clearly a Hangadrott:

I quote turn 6 which references her ladyship:
"Why? It's no different than what I did. A little messier. What she did took cojones. I like that."

Referring, of course, to the hangadrott tendency to hang oneself from an ash. It is perfectly sensible that there should only be one of these very expensive units yet in Vanheim's employ.

So, the only question remains what random magic path she has. Death and air are givens, so if she got an extra in either it would be darn hard to tell. I have the following clues:

"She's a language nut herself"

"Apparently, she's been giving the dwarves cooking lessons"

But neither of these tell me much... in Marignon philosophy these would add up to a fire mage, but we're not in Marignon anymore.

She hangs out with the dwarves all the time, and thus could be earthy, but that association could simply reflect the reality that these are Vanheim's only serious researchers.

Finally, she works on Project Excelsior. This probably means "higher" in this context (rather than shavings of wood).

The signs are unclear. I'll guess astral for the tenuous connection between language and that primal source of magic and her preference for tall, star-gazing towers.
