Steward

Steward is the caretaker of Caed Nua in and The Defiant in.

Background
As you come to the end of the great hall, you perceive an inviting warmth radiating from a grand throne wrought out of marble, its masterful artistry out of place amidst the castle's more practical stonework. The veiled face of a woman is carved above the throne's backing, watching over the room with hollow eyes. At your approach, you feel the warmth fluctuate, as though stirring. A voice rings out from the carving, permeating the fortress through stone and air.

The Steward of Caed Nua is an interesting person. She is the soul of a dying woman bound by her own wish to a marble throne brought up from the Endless Paths of Od Nua. Though without a human body, she can nonetheless feel: The entire keep and all that's bound to it. As part of the magic that granted her this form of immortality, she can manage the day to day affairs of the keep and arrange for various improvements and other activities within its limits - as long as the master is of sane mind, of course.
