Crida Kanathel
Marquis Crida Kanathel
I swear to bring strength to the Kanathel clan. I swear to protect Kersefels. Kersefels will grow, it will be stronger. Frudise's rule was fair, but not progressive. Things stayed stagnant. Still. I will change fate.
Crida Kanathel is the current marquis of Kersefels. Her reign has been marked by stability and an increase in the presence of the Kanathel, after a relative time of irrelevance. Crida was crowned Marquis of Kersefels. She had previously been the baron of an adjacent village, Breckonfeld; when the previous count of Kersefels, her great-aunt Frudise Kanathel died, Crida took the throne thanks to a complex set of legal interactions and intrapolitics. As part of her claim for the throne, she demanded the promotion of the title from a county to a marche. Tax reform and market regulations have reduced crime and fraud, and increased funding to infrastructure and defense.
The Cape War has done little to change her governing style, but has increased the presence of the Kanathel military. The Kanathel clan is benefiting greatly from the increased support; being given permission to lead portions of other lords' levies. While the additional levies go to the war efforts, the proportion is now imbalanced in favor of the Kanathel clan; encouraging internal combat and conquest.
Crida herself is known for her stubborn nature and authoritative personality. If she decides she wants something, it is unlikely she will stop herself from getting it. Her rulings are known to be fair, but fair in an objective sense, not a moral sense. She is Dwarven, as most Kanathels are; descended from Kanathel I.
The war has changed little in how she acts, but she is definitely ran more ragged. Streaks of grey flow through her brown braids. She is scarred and older, but hasn't lost any of her fire. She is constantly surrounded in guards, and holds frequent audiences; with a bit of a colder touch than before.
Crida is known throughout Chevalia as a respectable Marquis, if though overworked, harsh, and intimidating; and the Meladic view her as the lynchpin in the war. It is suspected many assassination attempts have been stopped, but she does not tell; whether out of pride or attempting to build an image.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Crida is stout, with a warrior's physique and endurance. She is not quite agile, but suffers from no afflictions.
Physical quirks
Crida is right-handed, with a trained and regimented posture. She walks, similarly, rigid and confident. For a dwarf, she takes rather long steps, keeping in time and pace with an imaginary regiment.
Apparel & Accessories
The role of Marquis has no traditional clothing in Chevalia; the border-guarding lords being a relatively new development. As such, Crida is known for eschewing the typical capped headdresses common of noblewomen, instead wearing her hair in a braided "cap", which may set a new precedent.
