Pryàrdi Socialite

• Born: 616 DR
• Died: Alive

Ætōlana first appeared in Pyàrdi social circles in the mid-640s. She is strikingly beautiful and is always welcomed at socially significant dances and fetes. What is unclear is where her wealth originated. There are many rumors, e.g., nobleman’s daughter, merchant’s widow, wealthy immigrant, master extortionist. Perhaps more strange than her ambiguous origins is the fact that no one asks. Ætōlana’s identity has become a serendipitous party game in Oð, where people try to find out more about her without asking directly. It is unclear whether she is aware of the game.

Tressta’s notes: Middle-thirties, attractive woman, long black hair and dark eyes, odd dialect. A wealthy voyeur who preferred to arrange encounters with Tressta and handsome young men at apartments throughout the Pryard. One such partner, a soft-spoken younger man named Gannar explained that Ætōlana’s real name might be Cydìra for she has a strange white bird that repeats the words “Cydìra, sweet Cydìra.” Encounters: 3

Secretly, Cydìra Daðáras is next in line to Ensòreti baronial seat in Haldòrax. Her aging mother, Baroness Daðàras, sent her away from the capital to protect her from Saránði insurrectionists who are opposed to perverted Dekàli power. A number of Saránðyr have established themselves in Ensòret and have managed to foment unrest within the province. To date, three attempts have been thwarted by the Baroness. News of these activities were reported to High Lord Rott, which confirmed his suspicious of an emerging threat from Ironhold. Cydìra is watched-over by a handful of trusted Pryr Roð who have orders to remove her to Kyrm Oryroð if she is endangered.
