Dolls of Ardelian

Lord Ardelian can use his considerable power to make lesser, subservient vampires. Those he finds personally appealing are turned into immortal, ageless undead that he keeps with him in his castle. These vampires are called 'dolls' by the locals for their humanlike appearance and dead nature. While the human populations fear and avoid the dolls, the aelurians of Cat's Eye Lake seem to pay them no mind and count them as regular visitors and trade partners.
It seems that Ardelian chooses to only ever keep eight dolls at a time and will 'retire' old dolls for new ones when something strikes his fancy; many of the dolls fear losing Ardelian's favour and strive very hard to keep in his good graces.
=== Lydia ===
Lydia is a woman with a youthful face and childish attitude who takes her appearance extremely seriously. With her dark hair and pale skin, she seems to have been a native of Covasna. She has a penchant for extremely complicated, delicate fashion, and enjoys taunting and tormenting humans. It seems that she is not too bright, easily distracted, and vain, though despite her immature, reactive personality, she seems to nonetheless be an arcanist. The other dolls look down on her as being a bootlicker, even by their standards.
=== Nabuo ===
Nabuo is an Arroyitan with round features and pudgy build. He is mute and communicates through whistles and hand gestures. It seems he has the powers of a druid, and he is the keeper of the wolves for Ardelian; all of the wolves in Covasna seem to respond attentively to his whistled commands. Most of the other dolls find him depressing and uncomfortable to be around, but Lydia monopolizes most of his attention as he doesn't interrupt or overrule her; rather he usually just placidly goes along with her ideas. 
=== Sigrun ===
Sigrun is a Cafeyetan with pale skin and deep auburn hair; she is quite tall and has very womanly proportions, making her strikingly attractive by general standards. She hangs around Cat's Eye Lake on a regular basis, consorting with the locals. Her voice is beautiful and she is an extremely accomplished singer, which she claims is the reason why Ardelian will never replace her. She is extremely gossipy and has little love for most of the other dolls, often talking down on all of them behind their backs.
=== Raveen ===
A Candalan man with brown skin and dark hair, Raveen is a young man with a wirey build who has an uncanny knack at popping up out of nowhere and vanishing just as quickly. He is very laid-back and talkative, and though his curiosity and boredom lead him to interact cheerily with newcomers, he has only passing interest in the locals who he views as livestock herds cultivated by Ardelian. Despite his lackadaisical manner, he is actually very committed to upholding Ardelian's rules and satisfying his whims, making him one of his most reliable errand boys.Category:Character
