'Letter given by Rya as thanks for retrieving her necklace. Contains an invitation to Volcano Manor. "Brave Tarnished, Seek the Altus Plateau in the realm of the Erdtree. Prove yourself by making this journey, and the Volcano Manor will fully extend its invitation. To fight, amongst a family of champions."' Rya is the Volcano Manor's friendliest face, a small, well-dressed scout posted on a Liurnian shoreline, asking passers-by to retrieve a necklace stolen from her by a blackguard. The necklace is the canonical detail. When the Tarnished returns it, she gifts the formal invitation to the Manor, where Tanith waits to extend her family of champions.

'Amnion from the mother's womb which cradled the poor unwanted offspring of a repellant birthing ritual.' Rya's later confession is that her courteous human form is a lent body, a serpent of Rykard's brood, who took human shape to keep watch on the surface for the Manor. Her true name is Zorayas, and by her own account she was born not of grace but of a hideous ritual. When the Tarnished stumbles upon her in a chamber of the Manor, the disguise slips: she reveals the serpent she has always been and asks to be allowed to die in her true form. The canonical kindness is in the small ask, to be witnessed dying as oneself, not as the disguise that made her useful.
