Agda Persdotter
Marchioness Agda Persdotter Stuart (a.k.a. The Survivor)
A local legend within Kythyss. The local old temple of Chauntea collapsed during a service, after a week of clearing rubble, Agda walked out from the lower levels. She took her new found celebrity status to rise in the political fields quickly. She stepped in for the previous governor, who had fallen to sickness. The people of Kythyss have looked to her as a vision of hope due to the current political unrest from Amn and Snowden to the south with the kingdom of Callidyrr to the north.
Her accession to the thrown was initially placed to vote, with the at time standing militia, the mercenary group The Masks backing another local merchant. Despite the mercenary groups opposition, Agda handily won the vote and accepted governorship role. During this time, just prior to her beginning her campaign she was joined for the Lord Fryndar Bullbelly of the nearby Blackstone Bastion. A towering presence, with Bullbelly seen as a bodyguard and protector of Agda the Masks were thwarted utilizing their usual methods of disposing political rivals. The Survivor, upon stepping in for the governor position, quickly made changes and steps which shown others she was shrewd and calculated leader. She appointed Bullbelly as General of Kythyss, recalling the standing Kythyss miliita as well as allowing Bullbelly to create a new Royal Guard.
Shortly after becoming governor, Agda began a campaign focusing on the rich history of Kythyss to create a sense of pride with the local community based on the long and storied pass of Kythyss as a port city on the southern tip of Aleron. The people of Kythyss, worn from the long war with Snowdon and looked for a new sense of identity immediately latched to the idea of a strong central Kythyss with a rich powerful history and supported her efforts. Agda, as a step to identify as a free and separate Kythyss took the self claimed title of Marchioness, based upon ancient records of the Marchioness of old. With Bullbelly by her side with a new royal guard and militia, none opposed the new title.
Agda now rules Kythyss with a strong central militia and guard with a strong local following, she has met the Masks in their bid to rule the city to a neutral line and has matched their moves to a stalemate in the city, with lines set and known.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
A tall noble woman whose presence demands respect while in a room meeting dignitaries or just the local merchant guild. An otherworldly allure accompanies the woman draped in silks and fur. Her skin is unmarred, flawless to the point of being alien. Her eyes are emerald, and they gleam with a mischievous cunning, an insatiable curiosity. Dark coils of curly dark red hair cascade down her shoulders and back, braided and perfectly coiffed with dark tips. She smiles with gleaming white teeth, and you cannot help but be awestruck—by her beauty, yes, but also by the strange and unnerving way she seems to look through you.
Apparel & Accessories
The Marchioness is seen usually in a light silken dress with silver trimmed jewelry and white fur edges. A jeweled trimmed dagger with a gold and silver hilt is usually worn on a belt, covered in runes and jewels.

The Marchioness is know to be served by a large contingent of gnomes and has several gnomes whom she entrusts with her needs. Several act as 'Ladies in Waiting' while others take positions as needed for local government liaisons with the local merchant guilds, portmasters, and liason to the Masks militia in employ of the government.
