Key Players:

Archdale Cassian Draevos

• Titles: Archdale of Dravencourt, Lord of the Silver Fleet

• Appearance: Weathered yet charming, with a rogue’s grin and eyes sharp as a falcon’s. His fine clothes never quite hide the bearing of a sea captain.

• Reputation: Once a privateer, now a politician. Cassian turned his cunning from the waves to the courts, uniting Dravencourt’s fractious vassals through deals, debts, and daring.

• Personality:  Charismatic, calculating, and unafraid of risk. To him, every alliance is a wager—and he never bets on certainty.

• Rumors & Whispers: Many suspect his coffers are still filled by illicit trade, and that his loyalty to the crown ends where profit begins. Yet none can deny his effectiveness.
