Gwendlyn Di Corci was an ancient figure known as one of the greatest temptresses of Dominarian lore.

History

Di Corci lured hundreds, perhaps thousands, of warriors to the then-lush island of Urborg. Di Corci then apparently killed her would-be lovers. It is unknown exactly when Di Corci's temptations occurred, but they are believed to have taken place sometime before the Brothers' War. According to the spirit of the pirate Ramirez DePietro, she may have been his undoing in life, but given the many conflicting accounts he gives regarding his death, it's impossible to tell if this is true.[1]

Background

Julie Baroh's model for this card was Mr. Wendy of Seattle punk band Sick & Wrong.[2] The cat to the right was Georgie Tirebiter, the feline inspiration for their song of the same name. The band were regulars at The Storeroom and Lake Union Pub, and reportedly Kurt Cobain's favorite local band to see. Mr. Wendy and Julie Baroh knew each other from way back in high school and both attended Cornish College. Later on, they were in a punk band called Rot13 that played in Seattle 2001–2006.
