Adela Fuillerno

Castellan, Head of Palace Staff
NPC (Civilian)

(LN female human expert 4): Queen Aurala doesn’t grant an audience to unannounced visitors, no matter how outlandish their tales. It falls to Castellen Adele Fulirno to interview and vet those who have business for the queen or any of the senior ministers. Fulirno works closely with the queen and has a strong, but not infallible sense of the queen’s priorities. She even suspects that Aurala’s ambitions lie beyond leading Aundair to claiming the Galifar crown at Thronehold.

Politics

Those who seek an audience with the queen or any important royal advisors must first meet with Castellan Fulirno. The castellan once acted as an agent for the Royal Eyes of Aundair, but she tired of leaving the country she loved behind. A serious and polite woman, Fulirno knows the queen well and knows when to send matters before Aurala or others in the court.

Political Nexus: Castellan Fulirno is loyal to Queen Aurala, but she plays a duplicitous game. Each warlord believes her to be an ally, and she pretends to have a secret, stormy, on-and-off relationship with each. In truth, she and Aurad work to keep the warlords off balance. Through numerous avenues that include the castellan, PCs might become double or triple agents loyal to the queen. The castellan might instead employ the characters to help keep up appearances to the warlords. If Fulirno can be counted on for any one thing, it is that Aurala and Aurad know everything the castellan learns.
