Rivkah

Rivkah (or Rivkah, the Architect) was one of the Founders of Kitezh. She is - among others - mentioned in the Document Rivkah, the Architect from The Prophet's Trail set and in the inscription Rivkah, the Architect on the Mural in her Crypt.

Of her life, not much is known. She must have been a good architect, because she alone devised the plans that were used by Damien to build the city of Kitezh, and well educated, which was unusual for a woman of the time. "It is because of Rivkah that Kitezh became not just beautiful, but livable."

Rivkah joind the followers of the Prophet because of her husband, a Rus nobleman, who perished on the journey. She stayed with them, probably unable to return to the Rus, until they reached the valley and there began to dream up the plans for the new city.
