Clodya of Waim
Role: Harper and singer; illegitimate daughter of Kisan Tesla Sex: Female Social Class: Craftsperson Age: 23 (born 697) Location: Royal court (Tashal); visits Esenor Personality: Sociable and confident Liege: Crown
Skilled harper and singer, popular at court in Tashal. Maintains a warm relationship with her father Baron Kisan Tesla — they correspond regularly and meet often, a warmer bond than Kisan enjoys with his legitimate daughters. Has inherited some of her father’s social gift. Her position as an acknowledged bastard daughter of a prominent baron gives her access to noble circles without the full weight of political obligation.
Family
- Kisan Tesla — father; Baron of Esenor; they have a warm relationship
- Mother — a woman from Waim (pre-marriage dalliance with Kisan)
- Melia Tesla — half-sister, age 15; legitimate daughter of Kisan
- Kiesa Tesla — half-sister, age 13; legitimate daughter of Kisan; both half-sisters are hostile to their father
Notes
GM Only
Contrasts sharply with her half-sisters Melia and Kiesa, who both loathe their father. Her presence at court makes her a potential conduit for information or introductions. A blind harper named Turlo of Kalaran resides at Esenor; connection to Clodya’s own musical skills is worth exploring.
Connections
- Kisan Tesla — father; Baron of Esenor
- Melia Tesla — half-sister; hostile to their father
- Turlo of Kalaran — blind harper at Esenor; possible musical connection
