Elyana Bayeri I

Elyana, also known as the Songbird, is the mistress of whispers on the small council of King Vaenarr Vakerian a position she previously held for King Rhaelarys Vakerian II and King Raemor Vakerian I starting at age 15.
== Appearance and Character ==
Elyana is a thin woman with long hair and is often said to be a very effeminate woman. She has soft hands. She often wears foreign white laces and will refuse to be seen in any other color. She often is described to smell of lavender, lilacs, and rosewater.
Her outward manner is obsequious, mysterious, and secretive. However, as a trained mummer, she is a rumored to be a master of disguise and can change her voice, gait, smell, and overall appearance, employing different wardrobes, make-up and wigs, to become unrecognizable. Some even believe that she can see through the eyes of rats to be able to gain any secrets she desires, others take this further and think that any wall she can see and hear through although this is vastly unlikely.
Secrets are Elyana's trade, and her skill at acquiring them has earned him a reputation for being seemingly omniscient. Nobody quite knows how she manages to accomplish this many suspect a spy network but she oftentimes gets reports faster then spies could easily travel or so people think.
Elyana's history of providing information to her side is often contradictory.. Does she not know of any movements or secrets before anyone else or does she simply refuse to say anything of them, as such she has rumors planted against her of aiding enemies, of pitting rivals against one another, and of manipulation to achieve her ends has earned her a reputation of being distasteful and untrustworthy among the nobles at court. Despite this though she still helps Vaenarr in his efforts to unite the world once more and gives him his enemies secrets to use against them or to plan against them. However, she claims to value order, stability, and peace above all, and professes loyalty to those who work for those goals as well.
As the master of whispers in wartime, she has the task of fostering division amongst the enemies of the Throne of Fire, and gathers information on all that happens in the realm.
