Handmaidens of the Duchess

Military; Religious

The Handmaidens of the Duchess are dedicated to upholding the tenets of Pristell, and the nobility of Essillion. They number only thirteen members and the oldest is only 32, with the majority of them being under 25. They are eager to prove themselves and take great pride in their accomplishments. They are always dressing the part of the noble, whether it is on mission, or at the ball; they strive to look their best to represent their station.
Lady Emeline Stormshield is the oldest member and was one of the founding daughters. She is a great figurehead for the order but most of the day to day work is handled by her lead trainer Rachel Ironskirt. The Handmaidens patrol Essillion mostly, but they are heading out toward the Vale in recent months to try and bring the word of Pristell to the outside world. So far, they have met with limited, though polite, success.
