Yima
Matron Yima
The woman known only as “Yima” prefers the simplicity of this name over any title or formalities despite the power she holds as the backbone of the Zenith in Highstorm. Should one ask the populace how long Yima has presided over the city, they will say “always”; she has been there since the island’s birth — and if you were to believe her people, she is responsible for shepherding all the souls in attendance from the darkness of Oblivion… including you.
Soft-spoken and gentle in nature, she has a maternal and calming presence, though some outside of Highstorm’s shadows may claim her a source of unease. Were you to ask why, however, none will commit to speaking ill of her… at least not in public, even in Springstar. Perhaps you can catch the more superstitious muttering a prayer under their breath and quickly changing the subject, but that is as far as they’ll go.
But the Matron herself maintains she is an open book, that her doors are open to all who would come calling. Should you take her up on such an offer, perhaps you’ll understand why her people feel so attached, so confident in their faith in her — and the Zenith. You have to admit… the longer you sit in her presence, the more you feel your doubts dissolving, your discomforts fading, your distrust beginning to melt away. What had you come here for, again…? Ah, it matters not.
Yima smiles, and you smile back. All is well. You’ll be on your way, now.
Be safe in the light of the moon ‘til next you meet, child.
But as of second-Emru (February) 2024 and following her ordered assassination of Cyrus, Yima has been lost, her Manor hit in a retaliatory Meridian strike that left it decimated and her missing.
