Seichya
Warden Lady Seichya Tevineg
All of Absalom knows Lady Seichya as the cruel, calculating high warden of the Brine prison and a major figure in the politics of the Puddles. Seichya is the eldest daughter of Scion Lady Xansippe and Lord Gulv Tevineg, and while she appreciates her father’s ambition and political schemes (and particularly her own prominent place in them), her loyalties remain strongly behind her mother. She’s always resented the absence of her father during most of her life, when his diplomatic duties to House Thrune seemed to send him everywhere but the City at the Center of the World. She knows her middle sister, Lady Azoria, is sidling up to their father in an attempt to usurp her as the leader of House Tevineg’s future, but Seichya doesn’t take her scheming sister seriously, knowing that the family’s true fate will flow through their mother’s destiny, not that of the arrogant man who abandoned them most of their lives. Seichya has not thought of her youngest sister, Irabel, since she was sent back to the homeland and enrolled in a nunnery dedicated to the Night Queen Eiseth seven years ago. Lady Seichya keeps most of her machinations limited to the Brine, which she rules like a tyrant. She has no rivals within the flooded prison, and very few in the Puddles itself. She has an understanding with Haigen Topkick that keeps a tense détente at play in the district, but even without fear of interference from him, numerous enemies abound. Seichya is never seen without her heavily tattooed Shoanti bodyguard, Urtox.
