Of course, the Ladies and Lords Directors would be nothing without their trusted guild administrators. While the Directors deal with the royal court, lofty politics and grand visions for their guilds, their administrators see to the concrete application of these, as well as take care of the actual day-to-day running of the guilds and of the managing of their members and their research.
Current director of the rune guild—Lady Aliénor Duhaut

Lady Aliénor Duhaut is a rune mistress known for her silver tongue with politicians and her ability to make any sponsors part with their money and be happy about it. This has allowed her to make a few very successful collaborative projects and to be a very looked-after partner among the guilds.
In 10699, she was unsurprisingly voted director of the rune guild by a vast majority of members. Since then, our Lady Director has worked diligently at increasing the official government funding allocated to runic research, representing us in guild disputes, and making us look generally awesome.
Guild members' opinions
We are of course all very satisfied with our Lady Director and appreciative of the huge efforts she goes through on our behalf. Also, could I please finally get my researched program approved? I swear I've done all the revisions you were demanding!
I am always very appreciative of the many high-society parties to which the Lady Director invites some of us and of the opportunity she gives us to meet politiciens and influence future policies. She naturally always has my support during guild votes.

I am side-eyeing those opinions, just in case they are coerced. Love the titles of Lord Director and Lady Director!

Thanks :D I was calling them all directors before I remember it would not be the most common term used in English XD But then I decided I it would be perfect with the Lord/Lady in front XD Why would these opinions be coerced? Are you suggesting the Lady Director is not perfectly admirable and lovable on her own??? :p
