==Elite of Elsport== Elsport is home a fair number of nobles. ===Regional Nobles=== Elsport is governed by a council of fifteen regional nobles: * '''The Governors''' ** Leonar Waterdawn, Senior Governor and Lord Mayor, who presides over the council. *** Sea Folk Female Cepia. Pirate *** ''Calling'': The Emperor- Temporal Power *** ''Destiny'': Seven of Chalices- Practical *** ''Fate'': Five of Rods- Complacent *** Lord Mayor Waterdawn has spent most of her life living in and around Elsport, and she loves the city dearly. Once a seagoing member of the Finest, she was eventually selected as a noble, and is now the most senior member of the Council. She has an undying faith in Elsport's ability to come through any crisis. ** Taylen of Shariven, Junior Governor *** Human Laevvel. Diplomat *** ''Calling'': The Star- Artistic mastery *** ''Destiny'': King of Pentacles- Resourceful *** ''Fate'': Page of Pentacles- Wasteful *** Taylen is a brilliant artist and polymath and loves their role of being the official patron of the arts in Elsport. Their crowning achievement was commissioning the sculpture of Queen Hulja waiting for the ship to return from its voyage across the Western Ocean. ** Alvus Stampede, Junior Governor *** Human Male Caria. Champion *** ''Calling'': Death- Creating Change *** ''Destiny:'' Seven of Rods- Adventurous *** ''Fate:'' Nine of Rods- Domineering *** Alvus the Stampede is a loud, boisterous man who is hard to dislike. Still undoubtedly a powerful warrior, his age (and girth) has moved him off the battlefield and into a role governing Elsport. He enjoys his reputation as "the common man's Governor" with his usual bombast. * '''Three judges, in charge of justice and interpreting contracts''' ** Gosuntha Scaler, Senior Judge *** Human Female Cepia. Noble *** ''Calling'': Temperance- Mediation of Extremes *** ''Destiny'': King of Pentacles- Resourceful *** ''Fate'': Ace of Swords- Cowardly *** Judge Scaler is a cautious, measured lawyer with years of experience. She knows the law better than anyone, and is impartial to the point of often coming across as bland in even regular conversation. ** "Common" Thomas, Judge *** Human Male Cepia. Diplomat *** ''Calling'': The Tower- Lowering the lofty *** ''Destiny'': Six of Chalices- Reflective *** ''Fate'': King of Chalices- Reactionary *** Common Thomas is a man of the countryside. He does not like change, and he is suspicious of anyone with power. On more than one occasion, he has tested the patience of Scaler with his strong political beliefs. ** Fetigern Returned. *** Human Male Cepia. Noble. *** ''Calling'': Judgment- Atonement *** ''Destiny'': Perceptive *** ''Fate'': Cold *** Judge Fetigurn has returned from corruption, the death of his friends, and the loss of his reputation. All that is left now is the Law and protecting the citizenry from threats. Though his judgments are well argued and fair, people are waiting for him to reveal himself to be a merciless hanging judge. * '''The Holy Tribunal of the Elsport Temple''' ** Joao of the Lamps, The High Priest of Elsport *** Vata-an Male Caria. Shaper *** ''Calling'': The Hierophant- Spiritual or religious power *** ''Destiny'': Six of Chalices- Reflective *** ''Fate'': Page of Swords- Insensitive *** Brother Joao is a deeply spiritual man who cares deeply for the souls of city. At his best, this gives him insights into what the people need others lack. At his worst, he overlooks the materials needs of the people. ** Margida Ever-Ink, The Master Librarian *** Human Female Cepia. Seer *** ''Calling'': The Adept- Mastery of the arcane *** ''Destiny'': Three of Rods- Industrious *** ''Fate'': Two of Swords- Indecisive *** The youngest member of the council, Margida is enthusiastic about eccentric information. Seemingly without end to her energy, she has undertaken the herculean task of cataloguing and organizing the Temple Library. ** William Goodrest, The Head Arcanist *** Human Male Cepia Healer *** ''Calling'': The Sun- Championing the everyday *** ''Destiny'': Five of Swords- Humble *** ''Fate'': Five of Rods- Complacent *** Brother William is reserved almost to the point of being shy. He cares deeply for people and their wellbeing, and is a gentle soul. He often is an ally of Governor Alvus and Judge Thomas in arguing for the needs of the people. * '''Military''' ** Carolina Knightwave, The General of the Aldin Guard and the Knights of the Blue Rose *** Human Male Cepia. Commander *** ''Calling'': The Fool- Adventure and excitement *** ''Destiny'': Page of Pentacles- Inquisitive *** ''Fate'': Page of Chalices- Deceptive *** General Knightwave made a name for herself hunting bandits near the borders of Kern and Reza. She views being stationed in sunny, warm Elsport as an unwanted semi-retirement. ** Elspeth Virinniel, The Chief of the City Watch *** Human Female Caria. Commander *** ''Calling'': Temporal Power *** ''Destiny'': Dedicated *** ''Fate'': Stubborn *** Chief Virinniel has had an admirable career, and is one of the mothers to Mathis Virriniel (Muskrat's PC). ** Goncal, The Admiral of the Aldin Navy *** Human Male Cepia. Commander *** ''Calling'': The World- Exploration and Discovery *** ''Destiny'': Page of Pentacles- Inquisitive *** ''Fate'': Page of Chalices- Deceptive *** Admiral Goncal's father was an officer on the voyage across the Western Ocean commissioned by Queen Hulja, and he dreams of one day being involved in adventure like that one. As he grows old, he realizes with some sadness he may not achieve that dream. Nevertheless, he looks for excuses to travel with his fleet out of Elsport, and he is a prominent supporter of the idea that the Kingdom should fund more exploration. * '''The Voice of the Rhydan''' ** Recarred Mosseater *** Rhy-Rat Male Caria Spy *** ''Calling'': The Exarch- Trickery or uncovering the same *** ''Destiny'': Three of Swords- Stalwart *** ''Fate'': Three of Swords- Treacherous *** Recarred is in the running with Judge Fetigurn for the member of the council with the worst reputation. A rare Rhy-rat, Recarred is a powerful adept who has a habit of knowing many secrets. His loyalty to the Lord Mayor is beyond question, but one worries what secret knowledge and schemes are known only to him. ===Travelling Nobles=== Additionally, six Travelling Nobles regularly come to Elsport for supplies and news: * The Travelling Noble of the Barren Islands ** Sea Folk Male Cepia. Sacred Warrior ** Calling: The Hanged Man- Inner peace ** Destinty: Nine of Pentacles- Appreciative ** Fate: King of Pentacles- Sneaky * The Travelling Noble of the Southern Start and Ambar Island ** Night Person Female Cepia. Swashbuckler ** Calling: Justice ** Destinty: Queen of Rods- Curious ** Fate: Queen of Swords- Petty * The Travelling Noble of the Road to Garnet ** Human Laevvel . Berserker ** Calling: The Priestess- Oneness of Spirit ** Destinty: Queen of Swords- Exacting ** Fate: Ace of Rods- Overzealous * The Travelling Noble of the Feypeak Highlands ** Vata-an Female Caria. Sharpshooter ** Calling: Strength- Physical perfection ** Destinty: Ten of Chalices- Joyful ** Fate: Page of Chalices- Deceptive * The Travelling Noble of the Near Steep Coast ** Human Male Caria. Bard ** Calling: The Empress- Protection of nature ** Destinty: Ace of Swords- Courageous ** Fate: Two of Pentacles- Narrow-minded * The Travelling Noble of the Far Steep Coast ** Human Male Cepia. Outrider ** Calling: The Wheel- Wealth ** Destiny: King of Pentacles- Resourceful ** Fate: Eight of Pentacles- Mercenary ===Guilders of Elsport=== The following guilds comprise an advisory council for the nobles. Power of the council depends on how much a given guild can raise in dues: * The Lawyers * The Cloth Merchants & Dyers * The Wool manufacturers * The bankers * The healers and apothecary * Furriers, Skinners, & Tanners * The butchers * The Blacksmiths * The Shoemakers * The stonemasons * The tailors * The vintners * The Innkeepers * The Salt & provision merchants * The Locksmiths * The Armourers & Weaponsmiths * The Carpenters * The Bakers ===Additional Notables of Elsport=== ====Carson Sturm and Borbála Ryskamp==== * Members of the Finest * Raised Spinner * Know of and do not trust Fetigurn ====Coretha==== * Romantic partner of Andreanne in Elsport. * She's a Carpenter. * She likes strong drink. * She knows someone high up in Elsport (though Andreanne has no idea who) ====Duran Cordoba==== * A High ranking member of the Apothecary Guild. * Colleague of Shidi * Committed to public health ====Gregoras the Scribe==== * A young scribe and personal assistant to Judge Fetigurn. * He is inexperienced and not especially good at his job, but the Judge will hear no complaints about him. ====Jannik==== * Husband of Naya * He moved to Elsport from Garnet to marry Naya. * He is a self-made man and resents people like Mathis, who were born wealthy and seem to have no appreciation for the benefits that brings them or the responsibility to others that comes with such status. * Jannick is a skilled duelist and sailor, as well as a talented merchant. ====Naya==== * Merchant heiress, friend, and former casual lover of Mathis ====Zinia Virinniel==== * Wife of Chief Elsbeth and mother to Mathis * Hard-working head of a successful merchant house * Involved in numerous charitable activities. ====Others==== * The Jarzoni Ambassador * The Lar'Tyan ambassador * A Night Person street preacher and religious pamphleteer * A Sea Person from the Barren Islands, and informal head of the culturally conservative Sea Folk faction, the Dolphinian Society * Gang leaders * Shadow Cultists * An angry Rhy-Pigeon with long standing bad-blood against Recarred Mosseater
