Starkhaven, once the largest city and among the most influential in the Free Marches, has become the ruling power. Still governed by a prince and ruled by the Vael family, the current leader - Sebastian Vael - has far surpassed any power gained by his predecessors. Feeling the encroaching threat of Antiva, Sebastian made bold moves among the remaining city-states, taking Tantervale and Ostwick in addition to Kirkwall.

PRINCE OF STARKHAVEN:
Sebastian Vael has been the ruling prince since 9:38 Dragon. Dedicated the first few years of his reign to settling the city-state after the attempted coup and resolving any remaining disputes about his claim to the title. Uninterested in doing more than restoring balance and keeping the peace at first, the entirety of the wealth of the crown is poured into aiding Kirkwall in the initial years following the destruction of its Chantry. He has since brought Kirkwall under his rule, annexing the city-state in 9:41 Dragon. In the last year, he has annexed both Tantervale and Ostwick as well.

PRINCE/SS CONSORT:
Sebastian is currently unattached, but this slot is reserved for whomever becomes his significant other. Cannot be obtained OOCly.

CHANTRY ADVISOR:
Person is involved heavily in the Chantry, and is probably up in arms about the fact the Circles are abolished, and the Grand Enchanter and Divine are dead. Probably pushing for Divine election.

GRAND CLERIC:
TBA

FIRST ENCHANTER:
The First Enchanter worked closely with the now-deceased Divine, and the previous First Enchanter. They have claimed the mantle as their own, as they pursue ways to help stop possessions. This person grew up around Rivain, and has amassed a lot of knowledge about the Rivaini nullification amulets. Their hope is to figure out how to mass produce said amulets. This person is a necromancer, and may be pursuing the idea of bringing back their mentor, the Divine Victoria.

SENIOR ENCHANTER:
This person is the First Enchanter's mentee. They likely disagree with their teachers darker peeks into necromancy, but are uncertain whether to report their mentor to the ruler of Starkhaven.
