Daena Rogare

Daena Rogare is the First Magister of Lys and the current head of the noble and ancient House Rogare. She was born the only daughter to the previous holder of her titles, Lysarus Rogare, and his second wife, Serenei Maar.

As two older brothers held primacy over her in the line of succession, she was never meant to inherit much, let alone responsibility, so for the better part of her childhood and adolescence, she had enjoyed a carefree lifestyle. The unexpected shift came in the year 435 AC, when upon his deathbed, her father named her as his sole successor.

Only nine and ten at the time, and bearing the ill-will of her Rogare seniors, Daena claimed the despot's vacant seat without hesitation and set out to exert her influence over the city. Though at first she was met with a strong opposition from the Conclave, relying on her charms and diplomatic finesse - and indubitably the efficient delegation of her assets - she was swift to garner popularity. She gained allies, and her method of rewarding loyalty with considerable benefits and answering malice with merciless reckoning has done well to silence the voices of discontent.

Her most notable accomplishment thus far, however, was the pivotal role she had played in bringing about the Alliance of the Narrows in 436 AC. It had led to an expeditious growth of her reputation outside the walls of Lys, and it was arguably the event that had simultaneously allowed her to consolidate her power as a despot throughout the next couple years.

Though much of her political success is rightfully attributed to the interplay of her late father's immense wealth and the expert counsel given by her confidante, Serala Maar, it would be unwise to deny the credit that is owed solely to the force of her personality. As First Magister, Daena Rogare has proved herself a natural leader of great ambitions, and under her reign, the Lovely City continues to thrive.
