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 familys 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 brothers 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 familys 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
ladys 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 Wizards 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.
