Governess

“Governess”

Whether loved, hated, respected, or disdained, there likely isn’t a more well-known figure within Zameen. The will of the Emperor, leader of the Empire that has spread over much of the continent. It would be a farce, of course, to claim that little is known about her. After all, her military career spanned over a decade, and the number of soldiers who knew her before she took up the mask practically guaranteed that information would be available to those who sought it. Ethelind Wakefield, Commander of the 1st Zameen, a woman who served with dignity and pluck, like her father before her. With the majority of her left hand, and the entirety of her left leg lost in battle, it cannot be said that she did not earn her position, though the fact that she is the fourth member of her family to take on the mask leaves a bad taste in the mouths of some.

She has proven to be an effective administrator, although there has been no real crisis to test her rulership. While her public persona has been all-business over the half-decade of her rule, those who knew her before speak of sharp wit and sharper tongue. Unmarried, childless, and now in her thirties, people speculate who make take over her position once she dies. There are certainly many potential candidates for the position throughout the territories Eileanan controls, and it would convenience them greatly if she died before being able to secure an heir.

If she takes after her father, any such plots would have to succeed on their first attempt. The Governor, whose true name has mostly faded from memory, was a fair but ruthless man, and any opposition was crushed as soon as it made itself known- often with his daughter carrying out his commands. If she opposed his actions, she carried them out anyway. The Governess is dutiful, if nothing else.

Augur of the Faith

Suzerain Christabelle Scott

Healers of the Seventh Divine

Hailing from a family of devotees of Zameen's primary religion, Seventh Divinity, Christabelle Scott was raised to be a priestess, following the footsteps of her own grandmother, the Sixth Augur of Faith, Suzerain Helena Burgess. Diligent with her studies and goal oriented to succeed her grandmother's legacy, she began wearing a phresu or the mask of purity at the young age of 5. Under the strict tutelage of Helena, she was hailed as the seventh Augur of the Faith at the young age of 23, finally relieving the former Suzerain of the Phresu Dei Usil (Mask of the Sun). The mask is a sign of a suzerain's responsibility to treat all in a fair manner, depriving her of her sense of vision to eliminate all visual bias and at the same time making her sense of hearing keener to enable her to tune in to the emotion behind spoken words. This practice is deeply rooted in the religion's precepts but some people wonder if it is highly influenced by the Governor-General's own practice of wearing a mask. To date, there are still a lot of speculations as to why the leader of the church wears a mask that blinds her.

Soft spoken and gentle, Christabelle is known for her patience and kind words. During church services, she is often seen sitting at the pulpit, ready and available for those who would approach her. Many people have made testimonies that her mere words could alleviate any pain and banish any ailment, cementing her place as some sort of saint in the minds of believers.
