Roleplaying Instructions
Duchess Muirín Uisceanna of the Duchy of the Seas and Islands is a former supporter of the coup. When Kraggath and his violent pirate navy were put in charge of the kingdom’s seas, she balked and wanted to change sides, except Kraggath got a hold of her daughter Aeliana. Now, she spends her days worried sick about what Kraggath is doing to Aeliana and fuming silently at his men for what they are doing to her subjects.
Personality Trait: When serving as a duchess, I wear a mask of poise, elegance, and authority. When I am with family and close friends, I reveal my true colors; I am a vain primadonna.
Ideal. I must make my underwater realm independent from the kingdom as a whole and its rotten fleabag of a king.
Bond. I dote on my daughter Aeliana. She is just like me when I was her age, and I want her to have the best of everything.
Flaw. I am self-centered; everything in my domain and life needs to be about me or my daughter. That self-centeredness often prevents me from seeing the truth.
Secret. Muirín used to have a crush on Fredrick when she was Aeliana’s age.
