LADY 68-01 LADY ELENA VALADOR Chatelaine The oldest child, Lady Elena was sixteen when her mother died. Her father appointed her chatelaine (lady of the house). She ran the household, supervised the servants, played hostess to their many important visitors, acted as advisor and confidant and mothered her two younger brothers (then 12 and 9). As the years passed and her father drifted into senility, she became de facto bailiff of the family’s six manors. Never married, Elena devoted herself to caring for her family. She found suitable brides for her brothers and tended their ailing father. When he died in 716TR, the estate passed to the eldest son. A loyal brother, it soon became clear that there was no room for two ladies of the house. Lady Elena did the noble thing and stepped aside to allow her brother’s wife to assume the role. Spared a battle-royale, her brother gave her their large townhouse in Tashal and a generous monthly stipend in compensation. Elena took a dozen servants, including her two ladies-in-waiting and two faithful men-at-arms, and moved to the city. A beautiful and skilled manipulator, she soon became a regular at the royal court. Lady Elena navigates the swirling intrigue and gossip of the royal court with grace and aplomb; representing her clan well. She keeps her brother abreast of political developments. An attractive and wealthy woman, Lady Elena has yet to find a man that meets her high standards, though she does have a weakness for romantic poets. A strong, selfconfident person, she is looking for an intellectual equal who respects her skills and abilities. Elena would like to have children of her own, but at her age (given the health risks) she doubts she ever will and this saddens her.
HOOKS
Spymaster. There is more to Lady Elena than meets the eye. Intensely faithful and loyal to her family’s liege lord, the Earl of Vemion, she is secretly his chief agent in the Royal Court and Tashal, responsible for a limited but diligent network of spies. The PCs have come to the lady’s attention and are summoned to meet her. She offers them a small, but challenging, task. If they are successful and discrete, more important jobs will follow. Your Basic Escort Job. Lady Elena wants to go on a trip. Publicly, she wants to see the fabled Wizard’s Isle and the Palace of Masks in Aleath. Privately, she wants to gauge Melderyni and Kandian support for the various factions in the upcoming Succession Crisis. The PCs are hired to provide additional protection for her small caravan. The pay is good and the job seems simple enough. The PCs are unaware that there are those that would like to make the lady (and her servants) disappear for good. © 2005, N.
