Conparis

The Conparis are the spouses of the Talori Herd's leader. Often sent from another country, they are generally a symbol of one of the herd's alliances, though this is not always the case.
== Overview ==
Originally called the Empress, this rank was traditionally held by an Aodhian mare as a political move to ensure the Talori remain their allies since the year 1620, the Empress had little to no power, and was typically treated more like a personal servant to the Emperor. Prior to the Aodhian alliance, the Empress was selected from among the Talori natives. She was the Emperor’s first wife and often his favorite.
Now called the Conparis in light of the shift in leadership in the year 1701, the Talori leader's spouse is still a symbol of unity and prosperity among the herd, even when used as a means to secure rocky alliances with other nations. While the Conparis still has little power among the Talori, they are invited, and even expected in many cases to attend official meetings, as their voice is a valuable asset to the herd.
Upon arrival in Aquore, a conparis is expected to embrace Talori culture, and learn all they can about the herd's history, lore, and politics. Other responsibilities include raising any of the family's children, managing household affairs, and sharing their knowledge with the Emperor or Empress.
