Delphine Adorania Muudashir
Duchess Delphine Adorania Muudashir, 15th Duchess of Mora
The terms ‘Duke’ and ‘Duchess’ are used more or less
interchangeably in Imperial parlance. Some noble seats
have a tradition of female incumbents and prefer to use
the term ‘Duchess’ to reflect this regardless of who is on
the throne. Mora is ones of these, and is often referred
to as the Matriarchy of Mora. The current Matriarch is
Delphine Adorania Muudashir, daughter of Duchess
Lutetia Ammon Muudashir of Mora. She ascended to
the Ducal throne in 1014 upon her mother’s abdication,
and has ruled for almost a century with great success.
Duchess Delphine is the centre of the Mora Foremost faction, and openly states that she should have been appointed sector duke or even Archduke of the Domain of Deneb a long time ago. There is much merit to this claim, though Duchess Delphine has a number of powerful opponents. Chief among these is Duke Norris of Regina, whose followers are strongly opposed to the policies of the Mora Foremost faction and in some cases have a personal dislike of Duchess Delphine.
At 128 years of age, Duchess Delphine has avoided significant deterioration due to use of anagathic drugs but is showing her age. Her mental faculties remain as sharp as ever but she has been described as having a ‘body wearied by age, kept upright by the false memory of youth.’ She is gracious but haughty, and intolerant of anyone who does not show sufficient respect. Those who follow the correct protocols and show deference can win favour which will elevate them to undreamed-of heights, but Duchess Delphine never lets anyone forget how they climbed so high. Those who do are ruthlessly brought down.
Duchess Delphine can sometimes allow her rivalry with other great nobles, notably Duke Norris of Regina, to colour her judgement. It has been said, not without reason, that she would rather see Norris fail than the Imperium succeed. However, Duchess Delphine is an Imperial noble and would not be in her position under Zhodani rule. She is as opposed to the Consulate as anyone; it is just that initially she sees the conflict as an opportunity to become Archduke rather than a threat to the entire Imperium.
