+ | ====== Countess Thilisa Maleken ====== | ||
+ | **SPOILER WARNING:** Thilisa has not appeared in the game yet. If you are reading the game logs and don't want any secrets revealed before their time - or are a player - then don't read any further!\\ | ||

+ | Thilisa Maleken (b. 693) is the oldest daughter of Earl Declaen Caldeth of Pagostra. Thilisa was raised in her father’s holding in Minarsas, but was sent to be educated in an Abbey near Cherafir in Melderyn (705-714), where she became an adherent of the Melderyni Synedros. It was during her time at the Abbey that she became a lay member of the Order of Sappiran and mastered the "Path of the Chariot" | ||
+ | |||
+ | Thilisa is a highly intelligent and strong minded (some have said obstinate) woman. She has an acute sense of interpersonal and intrapersonal relations, as well as a potent natural magnetism that has led the Maleken Clan to leave her in her role as Countess. Thilisa is a very devoted and loving woman – a trait she shares with her father – as well as a woman of strong emotions and passions. She came to admire her husband immensely as a man of honor, and honors those who exhibit this quality. She considers a person’s word inviolate, and holds the truth in very high esteem. She is unlikely for forgive or forget an oath-breaker or a deceiver. Her travels and education, as well as her religious outlook, have given Thilisa a broader minded perspective than most of her peers in Kaldor, whom she considers parochial and closed minded. As a result, she has only developed meaningful relationships with a small circle of confidents, though she makes an effort to be charming to all she meets, and is noted for being a gracious hostess. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Thilisa is very close to her father, Earl Caldeth, but the two often collide over his parochial mindset, and his dogmatic dislike for her art. Thilisa prefers to keep her membership in the Order of Sappiran secret and, aside from the handful of members of the Order of Sappiran in Kaldor, only her father and husband, and her husband’s nephew, Corlann, know of her abilities. Though she was quite sociable before her husband’s disappearance, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Thilisa has a rare talent for Theurgy, especially the arts of consciousness and mind, and is extremely powerful for her age and short experience. Already an accomplished Shenava, a petition has already begun circulating, | ||
+ | |||
+ | A tall, statuesque bombshell with milky skin, smoke-grey eyes, and lustrous auburn hair, Thilisa is regarded as the rare beauty of her generation. She carries herself with regnant poise and moves with a graceful economy of motion. A charming woman and an uncommon beauty, it is often Thilisa’s deeply ingrained sense of personal dignity that congeals the idea of her in most people’s minds. She dresses in fine clothes befitting her station and has an affinity for Melderyni fashions. | ||

+ | ====== Secrets ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | As a member of the Order of Sappiran, which has narrowly avoided being excommunicated in Melderyn due to its frequent political dissidence in terms of the machinations of the Council of Eleven, she is aware that Dame Erila Kaphin is an agent of the Council of Eleven, and that her son, Sheriff Tulath Kaphin, is the Council’s (now) long-shot candidate for the throne. The Order has taken no active steps to oppose his ascension, but Thilisa has had her agents keeping an eye on both of them for some time. | ||

+ | ====== Design Notes ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Thilisa is a "Mary Sue." She is intelligent, | ||
+ | |||
+ | To facilitate speed of play in the PBEM medium the Chronicles of Counter-Harn does not use the the Speed Chart, Combat Values, Combat Levels, and Weapon Familiarities. Instead, combat is handled on a "turn by turn" basis and uses opposed skill rolls to determine hits (e.g., Sword vs. Sword, Sword vs. Shield, Sword vs. Dodge, etc). Speed is handled abstractly in the narrative. | ||
