High Lady Maya

High Lady High Arcanist Maya D'larariel is a High Dalish elf, with some non-trivial spellcasting ability. 
Maya met Shades at the Council, and was swayed by Shade's argument about why he should be mayor, and cast her vote for him. Originally the High Lady of Tsuen, Maya survived the fall of that town, and sought refuge in the Valley. With no town to call her own and no power in her own right (after she was kicked out of her house; Maya speaks badly of the D'larariel house and their selfish ways) she 'adopted' Dejune, and formed the Calaelen Dominion. This allowed her to hold onto power, while leaving Shades with his autonomy.
Maya spends her days in Castle Calaelen with her advisors and friends, and rarely speaks to the Valley people. She stands firmly against Orcus, and uses her considerable skills and connections to keep an eye on the Valley nobles, watching for any sign of a demonic taint. She also keeps an eye on Aberdeen, knowing they may one day make a move to invade the Dominion.
Wears enchanted armor, and carries a silver dress sword.
