It is not unusual for either women or mages to rule the
principalities of Cardolan, but Finduilas is the first to
combine these attributes. She is in her early adulthood, on
the short side for a women of pure blood, and rather
plain although it is said that when she unveils her light
green eyes, they pierce one to the soul. Finduilas appears
to be very self-absorbed; she is content to leave the dayto-
day administration of her realm to her subordinates.
The practice allows her further time to study her magics
and to plot. She would not be troubled to discover that her
retainers pursue the same oppressive policies that characterized
her forebears. In most things, Finduilas is a
traditionalist, favoring an archaic style of robes that does
little to complement her face or figure.
Finduilas has long been considered a major personage
in the politics of Cardolan this has only intensified after her courtship and marriage to Prince Vëarnil which many doubt as truly legitimate to the Prince's deep loathing ire.
