Adalinda Camron

Duchess of Nuna

 

Toemanshire is divided into two duchy's, with several counties around them. According to court records generations of Camron women have reigned over the western Duchy of Nuna, passed down from mother to daughter. It is a rural duchy of farmlands on the edge of the kingdom along the western mountains.

 

Adalinda is beloved by her people. She is known to frequent taverns and festivals, spending time with the common folk. When the Orc invaded and occupied the land, she used her power as a sorceress to keep the orcs out of her hometown of Sagepoint. The town held free throughout the occupation, thanks to her. She was also instrumental in organizing resistant fighters throughout the duchy. She also coordinated with incursions of warriors from the mountain kingdom of Seely to the west.

 

Despite her power in Magic she prefers not to enter combat herself, focusing more of the defense of her people that than attack her enemies. This does not mean she will not fight, and several orc attacks ended with the invaders little more than melted puddles on the battlefield outside of Sagepoint.

 

With the death of King Wilhelm Alyster at the end of the war against the orcs, the people called for her to ascend to the crown. Something she immediately refused, claiming she preferred to return to her life as duchess of the farmlands. She offered her council to whoever rose to the throne.

 

When Carab put in his claim for the crown she back his claim, pointing to his leadership during the war to liberate the land. Her status as a war hero, and her popularity with the common folk, solidified Carab, though a foreigner, as the next king of Toemanshire. Some resentment from nobles with a stronger claim to the throne have risen since in the Court, but none have challenged Carab's authority.

 

Duchess Camron has remained a senior member of the new king's privy council, though she spends most of her time in Sagepoint, away from the capital. She has stepped in as Regent of Toemanshire on the occasions when the king has left the country.
