Public Description
Lady Lashonna Avarna is a highborn elven noble from Iadara, widely regarded as one of the most refined and enigmatic figures in Prince Voronov’s court. With silver hair and an ageless presence, she is often called the
Pale Oracle—a title attributed more to her uncanny insights and prophetic instinct than any formal office.
Lashonna dresses with quiet sophistication, favoring styles that blend elven grace with Salisgrad’s arcane couture. She moves through court as if she has always belonged there—never hurried, never flustered, and always listening. She is best known as a trusted advisor to Prince Voronov, and many credit her with shaping the court’s more refined policies in recent decades.
Courtly Role
Though she claims no formal religious or magical title, Lady Lashonna is whispered to possess rare and esoteric knowledge. She is said to have studied ancient philosophies, necromantic history, and the esoteric arts in distant lands. Some believe she served as an ambassador during the early years of Salisgrad’s reconstruction—others say she simply appeared one day, and the Prince trusted her ever since.
She holds no military rank, no priesthood, and no known office—but her presence at high council meetings is unquestioned. When nobles step out of line or scholars dig too deep into the wrong subject, it is often Lashonna who meets with them in private. Those meetings are always brief. And always final.
