Esthoramire

The **Esthoramire** is the prison of the Untheileneise Court. It is possibly used for upper class prisoners, as opposed to the Nevennamire, which seems to house lower class prisoners, or possibly prisoners who are under multiple jurisdictions.

## Details

Setheris Nelar was imprisoned in the Esthoramire for 3-4 months after committing what Varenechibel IV and Lord Pashavar considered to be treason. He was again imprisoned there after Lord Chancellor Uleris Chavar and Princess Sheveän Drazharan kidnapped Maia Drazhar during their attempted coup, as Setheris was part of Uleris' office. Setheris' wife, Hesero Nelaran, requested an audience with Maia wherein she asked him to meet with Setheris, which ultimately resulted in Setheris being released from the Esthoramire, as he was not part of Uleris' plot.

Sheveän was imprisoned in the Esthoramire after the coup, as well. Stano Bazhevin, then a member of Sheveän's household, was later imprisoned with her, for keeping silent despite knowing Sheveän's plans, as she was afraid of Sheveän. They were later relegated to Bakhoree.

Pashavar seemed to indicate that being imprisoned in the Esthoramire is possibly a politer sentence than the Nevennamire.

## Prisoners

* Setheris Nelar (former prisoner)
* Sheveän Drazharan (former prisoner)

Alcethmeret

The **Alcethmeret** is the emperor's residence within the Untheileneise Court.

## Description

The Alcethmeret had a great minareted dome, and was seemingly designed as a tower with many levels and rooms accessed by stairs. Beyond an "elaborately wrought door" in the main palace compound stood the base of the Alcethmeret, with staircases winding widely around the inside of the tower. The lower levels were “open, a reminder from one emperor to the next that a private life was something he would not have. But about halfway up the tower’s height, the architecture changed, a boundary marked by a pair of floor-to-ceiling iron grilles”, which could be open or closed for some approximation of privacy. There were many servants in the area. Echelo Esaran was the house steward for Varenechibel IV, and went on to serve as Edrehasivar VII's house steward.

The Tortoise Room, a private audience chamber, was located in the Alcethmeret, up the nearest staircase to the entrance, and "the first room beyond the iron grilles."

Higher than the Tortoise Room was the Rose Room, “which was large enough to get lost in and decorated in an oppressive scheme of black and cherry. The wallpaper was an elaborate Pencharneise floral pattern, roses of all shades from deep purple to orange-red, the edges of the petals picked out in gilt.” It was seemingly used for more private moments before and after the day's business. In a corner of the Rose Room was an enormous desk where Maia and Csevet Aisava would review correspondence and discuss business.

The dining room was seemingly located in or near the Rose Room.

Two turns up the stairs from the Rose Room and/or the dining room were the doors to the emperor's bedchambers. The edocharei usually await the emperor there, to help him change clothes and freshen up. The bedroom was an oddly shaped room, with strange corners. Maia's bed had sumptuous bed-hangings with "the wrestling cats of the Drazhada worked into the brocade". The bed itself was huge. There was also a bathroom with a bathtub. The windows of the bedroom had panels of frosted glass.

The Alcethmeret had its own garden where roses were grown in spring and summer.

The Alcethmeret's nursery was located in "a side wing off the ground floor with its own set of vast grilles."

## Residents

* Maia Drazhar
* Varenechibel IV (former)

## Trivia

* Empresses are not expected to live in the Alcethmeret.

## Life

Adreän had at least one brother, Armedis.

Armedis married Cholan Pel-Venna, and after Cholan's first pregnancy resulted in a stillbirth, it created a revetheralin. Adreän visited Nebeno Pel-Thenhior at the Torivontaram, possibly to speak with Iäna. While Iäna was there eating dinner with Thara Celehar, Nebeno called Iäna over to talk with Adreän. Nearly two hours later, Iäna brought Adreän out to Thara to talk with him about a possible revetheralin plaguing Cholan. Thara suggested visiting Cholan immediately.

Thara identified the revetheralin, and told Cholan and Armedis that Cholan had to leave their home, so that the revetheralin didn't kill Cholan, or find her again. Adreän had Cholan come stay with her.

Cladeän finally allowed Thara in, much to Lideän's fury, and Thara discovered that Neshevis planned for Tarazho to become a novice of Csaivo on her thirteenth birthday.

Csaivo

**Csaivo** is the "goddess of rivers, water, birth, and healing."

## Details

Csaivo is a member of the Five-Fold Harmony, which also includes Anmura, Osreian, Ulis, and Cstheio Czireizhasan. It is okay to pray to Csaivo that one is "in time", such as when Thara Celehar suggested Velhiro Tomasaran pray to Csaivo that they were in time to avert Mandara Tozharharad's suicide.

Csaiveise clerics practice strict celibacy and often work in the great charity hospitals. Clerics of Csaivo wear green robes. Csaiveisei also tend to be the prelates who practice autopsies, such as Csenaia Ulzhavar. They can also specialize in midwifery. Csaiveise clerics are "often blamed for deaths they were helpless to prevent."

Prelates of Csaivo or perhaps her followers generally can also be called a "Csaiveiso".

A hall where the business of the Csaiveisei is done is called a csaivatheileian.

Amalo is full of shrines to Csaivo, as the city's "lifeblood was the Zhomaikora and the Mich'maika". There is a Sanctuary of Csaivo in Amalo near the Reveth'veraltamar, where the bodies from the Mich'maika canal end up. “The Sanctuary of Csaivo fronting the Mich’maika predated the city of Amalo by at least a thousand years.” The shrine itself contains a jade michenotho of Csaivo.

The Dachen Csaivanat in Amalo is "the deepest well in the north of the world". The Deep Well ostro has a teahouse called the Lady of Rivers, operated by Csaiveise novices from the associated csaivatheileian.

There is a Csaiveise hospice in the Tenemora district in Amalo, which houses the mentally ill.

Orava had been defeated, and Hanevis Athmaza, horribly injured, had died in his emperor’s arms.”

## Skills

Hanevis was possibly a dachenmaza, a powerful maza.

Ebremis

**Ebremis** is "the master chef of the Alcethmeret."

## Appearance

Ebremis “was a grandfatherly gentleman with a tremendous white mustache.”

## Life

Ebremis was seemingly the kitchen master for Varenechibel IV, and continued to serve under Maia Drazhar.

After Maia first arrived at the Untheileneise Court, things were in a bit of disarray, as the Alcethmeret wasn't ready for his arrival, and Echelo Esaran gave Ebremis instructions to prepare something simple for Maia's first night there.

Before Maia's coronation, while on tour of the Alcethmeret to meet his staff, Echelo took Maia to see Ebremis, who “questioned Maia closely and respectfully about his likes and dislikes.”

Ebremis regularly sent dishes to Maia's table, and they covered a beautiful array of options.

Ebremis was possibly surprised when Maia woke so early on Maia's 19th birthday, and was prepared to send up breakfast whenever Maia wished.

## Skills

Ebremis and his staff could prepare egg-and-broth soup, eel casserole, seared colewart, sorbet, and oatmeal with dried apricots and honey, as well as tea.

Ceiliän Bralisharan

**Ceiliän Bralisharan** was a bourgeoise elven woman who lived in Amalo and was friends with Neshiro Mulinaran.

## Appearance

When Thara Celehar first met her, she “was a middle-aged bourgeoise elven woman, respectably dressed, whose face held a complicated mixture of nervousness, embarrassment, and determination.”

## Life

Ceiliän's mother was Dechaladeise.

Ceiliän was friends with her distant cousin Neshiro for many years, and Neshiro told her many stories, at least some in jest, including tales about her dead husband. Neshiro sometimes told Ceiliän that Neshiro had killed him, or that he'd died of iärditha.

Neshiro appointed Ceiliän as her executrix, and left her estate to Ceiliän. After Neshiro's death, Ceiliän had her cremated. While Ceiliän made an inventory of Neshiro's home in order to pay off debts, she discovered an old, dead body in Neshiro's attic, and wondered if it was Neshiro's dead husband. Not knowing what to do, Ceiliän brought Neshiro's ashes with her to petition Thara (while Velhiro Tomasaran observed). Thara Witnessed for Neshiro, and discovered that yes, Neshiro had killed Mer Mulinar.

Ceiliän and Thara agreed to cremate Mulinar and scatter his ashes in the Zhomaikora, to avoid his rising as a ghoul. Thara noted Neshiro's estate would have to make restitution, and recommended a donation to the Ulistheileian, which Ceiliän supported.

Mazes

Mazes are used in religious devotions. Both Ulis and Orshan have mazes that their devotees walk.

Orshaneise mazes are outdoors, made of corn, and open to any. Nobody can get lost in them.

Ulineise mazes are always underground and people frequently get lost in them. Junior prelates often had to be sent to fetch novices.
Mazan'theileian

The **Mazan'theileian** is the hall of the Athmaz'are in the Untheileneise Court.

## Details

“The Mazan’theileian was not part of the Untheileneise Court proper, but had been connected to it by a covered bridge during the reign of Edretanthiar III, in the delicate lacelike stonework typical of that era. The bridge was called Usharsu’s Ladder”.

The Mazan'theileian had a Visitors' Room, which “was small and rather bare, but shining with cleanliness.” Outside the Visitors' Room was a great vaulted hall.

The Mazan'theileian had an ulimeire, known as the Ulimeire of the Mazan'theileian. It is rare for outsiders to be invited into any of the mazei's precincts, let alone the ulimeire. Even emperors were denied prior to Maia Drazhar's visit, including at least one who came with an army. The ulimeire itself was larger than the Ulimeire of Cetho, but still somewhat shabby: the “walls were undressed stone, and all the furniture was worn and much mended, sometimes by skillful hands and sometimes not.” There were benches for visitors to sit.

“The Lesser Courtyard looked like an accident of architecture; it was a narrow quadrangle between the main building of the Mazan’theileian and an obvious and much later addition—made even narrower in perception by the height of the walls on every side." It was primarily intended as a water collector, given "the gutters, the pitch of the flagstones, and the grated drain in the center . . . but that made it ideally suited for a revethvoran, as well. It would be easy to wash away the blood.”

Arnekesh

**Arnekesh** worked at a bakery in Tenemora in Amalo with Honibar and Vulathmened.

## Life

Arnekesh, Honibar, and Vulathmened worked in a bakery together until Vulathmened's death. Arnekesh and Honibar would ask how Vulathmened made his scones, and although Vulathmened promised to tell them, he never did. After Vulathmened's death, Arnekesh made his version of the scones, which customers were polite about, but not as into, and the missing scones threatened their business. Arnekesh even modified the recipe, to no avail, including trying nutmeg. Honibar went to Thara Celehar to Witness for Vulathmened in the hopes that it could help, but Arnekesh thought it wouldn't.

Thara and his apprentice Velhiro Tomasaran went with Vulathmened to the bakery, where Vulathmened's ashes were kept. Arnekesh said they shouldn't be troubling Thara, but Thara noted it was all right. Thara Witnessed for Vulathmened, and found the word "nutmeg", which only frustrated Arnekesh. Thara investigated the place where the nutmeg was stored, and discovered a recipe hidden inside the box. Arnekesh apologized profusely to Thara.

## Skills

Arnekesh could bake, but his self-made scones were not as good as his former partner's.

Csatha

**Csatha** was a bartender at the Canalman's Dog in Amalo.

## Appearance

Csatha was young, and “wore his white hair in a thickly braided bun and had enough money for a line of amethyst chip earrings to accent the sweep of his left ear. There was a haze of gold in his gray eyes that suggested Barizheise blood somewhere in his family tree.”

## Personality

Csatha was thoughtful and polite to Thara Celehar.

## Life

When Thara was trying to identify Arveneän Shelsin after her body was recovered from the Mich'maika, one of the employees at the Canalman's Dog suggested Thara speak to Csatha about her. Csatha didn't recognize her, and instead drew a map for Thara of the area, noting that he could try the Golden Tea Light, a hotspot for iönraioi (prostitutes unaffiliated with the Procurer's Guild), as Arveneän might be one.

## Skills

Csatha was good at drawing a map of the area.

Chelavar

**Mer Chelavar** resided in Aishan's Grove in Amalo. He took care of Drachano Michezaran's will.

## Life

When Drachano and her husband "Segevis Michezar" (Broset Sheveldar under an alias) first moved to Aishan's Grove, they visited Chelavar on their first day to set up Drachano's will. Drachano stipulated that she be buried according to Ploraneisei rites and that all her money go to her husband. She died a week later, and Chelavar was the only person to attend her funeral. He was furious at how cheaply Broset arranged for the funeral, and fumed later about how it was cruel repayment for all the money Drachano left Broset.

Chelavar died two years before the events of *The Witness for the Dead*.

Dalera Bazhevar

**Osmer Dalera Bazhevar** was the eldest son of his family, the nephew of the Count Bazhevel, and the cousin of Stano Bazhevin. He was recommended as a potential husband for Vedero Drazhin.

## Life

Dalera was the eldest son of his family. He was "a gentleman of good lineage, modest fortune, and no particular attainments or distinctions."

After the death of Ciris Drazhar, the Stano's fiance, Stano was left in a complicated position, and Bazhevel suggested that Maia Drazhar marry Stano instead, as seeming recompense for Ciris' death, but in lieu of that, Dalera should marry Vedero.

Maia had Csevet Aisava write to Bazhevel to tell him that Vedero and the Drazhada were still in mourning, and so no marriage alliance between Vedero and others would be considered for at least a year. Dalera promptly sent an angry pneumatic in response.

Maia arranged for Stano, at her wish, to join the household of Sheveän Drazharan, removing the burden of the whole situation - and Bazhevel's seeming bargaining chip to push for the marriage with Vedero - from the Bazhevada.

Hestamar

**Canon Hestamar** was a canon who worked at the Amal'theileian, for the Amal'othala.

## Life

After Thara Celehar went to report to the Amal'othala about burning out, a canon met Thara near the entrance to the Amal'theileian, and then led Thara to the audience room where the Amal'othala was, where another canon stood outside the door. Both canons then followed Thara into the room. Hestamar was one of these canons. After Thara met with the Amal'othala, the Amal'othala told Hestamar to find Thara somewhere to wait until the arrival of Aiva Vernezar. Hestamar led Thara to a small room with five chairs, bowed, and left. After a time, Hestamar came to fetch Thara, and brought him to the Amal'othala (and Aiva).

## Life

Delenar's later-wife was pregnant when her lover, Osmer Thilmerezh, was exiled by Varenechibel IV to Tanvero. She wanted nothing to do with Thilmerezh, so she married Delenar, and together they raised her daughter, Veliso, as Delenar's daughter. Veliso later gave birth to Amiru, but died in childbirth.

Delenar seemingly outlived his wife.

When Amiru received a letter from Thilmerezh, informing her of their family history, Amiru was shocked at what her family had hidden from her, as she hadn't known of Thilmerezh's existence, or that Delenar was her step-grandfather. Amiru wrote to both her grandfathers, and Delenar was shocked she'd learned the family scandal.

## Relationships

#### Amiru Chonhadrin

Amiru appeared to care for her step-grandfather, and didn't wish to upset him.

Kelberened

**Othala Kelberened** is the head prelate at Ulstaranee in Amalo. He is the husband of Merrem Kelberened, and father of Dothora Kelberened, Parnalo, and at least one other daughter.

## Appearance

Kelberened was a goblin "from Barizhan, tall and black-skinned, with thick black hair and orange eyes and a perpetual scowl." Kelberened is almost a foot taller than Thara Celehar.

## Personality

He terrified children when Vineän Brenhazin was a child, possibly from his looks and scowl. He supported his daughters, and did not care if the Kelberened name continued. He was also seemingly homophobic, and had a low opinion of Cataro Selezhen and Vineän Brenhazin and their relationship.

## Life

Kelberened was born in Barizhan, and at some point married Merrem Kelberened and had at least three children in the marriage: Dothora, Parnalo, and at least one other daughter.

Cataro had a child with Dothora - Lora Selezh - and lied about his parentage Dothora. She initially raised the child with Vineän, but died of charcorsa, and Vineän was forced to care for Lora on her own. Vineän took Lora with her to see Thara Celehar, to Witness for Cataro and discover Lora's biological father, and/or any family Lora might have.

Thara went with Vineän and Lora to visit Ulstaranee, to Witness for Cataro, and met with Kelberened to make the request to see the body. Kelberened was sharp and patronizing of Cataro for, in his opinion, being a bad parent, and Vineän, for being marno.

When Thara Witnessed for Cataro and got Dothora's name, Kelberened was outraged, and accused Vineän of paying Thara to say that. Kelberened refused to acknowledge Lora. Thara noted that it was *Dothora's* decision, as Dothora was an adult, and had the right to know, and Lora's right to "attest his parentage". Vineän knew where to find Dothora, and they left Ulstaranee.

Dothora supported Lora, and circumvented his father to get his mother's approval for Lora.

## Relationships

#### Dothora Kelberened

Dothora seemed to care for his father, but stood up to him as well, when he refused to support Lora.

#### Vineän Brenhazin

Kelberened had a low opinion of Vineän because she was marno. Vineän had been afraid of Kelberened as a child.

## Trivia

* Kelberened is one of the few named married prelates.

Isreän

**Isreän** was a part goblin girl who committed suicide in the Mich'maika in Amalo.

## Appearance

Isreän was part goblin and had ashy gray hair and skin. She was very young.

## Life

Isreän was a foundling who became pregnant via her employer. “Isreän had known she couldn’t afford to keep the baby, and she couldn’t face the thought of her child growing up in the misery she had known.” She chose to kill herself by jumping into the canal instead. Her body was recovered and Thara Celehar Witnessed for her, and told Subpraeceptor Azhanharad her story, and advised that she was likely Ploraneise. Azhanharad had her buried that way.

Isreän's employer began to have dreams, seemingly about Isreän, and went to his prelate about them. The prelate told him to find out what had happened to her, and advised him to speak to Azhanharad, who told the employer what happened to her. This did not rid him of the dreams.

She and Thara Celehar “went together to the Amal’theileian and gave depositions before Judiciar Erimar”, with Thara supporting her using what he'd gathered from his Witnessing. Erimar ruled that it was an accident.

“Lord Judiciar Erimar was given the case of Broset Sheveldar. It took him a week to read all the depositions, plus the statement from the lawyer Mer Sheveldar had hired” and he announced his judgment in the Amal'theileian: Broset was “guilty of murdering Livano Sheveldaran, Drachano Michezaran, and Inshiran Avelonaran and her unborn child Ulanu.” Prince Orchenis Clunethar pronounced the sentence the following day: execution.

Erimar was given the case of Esmeän Tativin, and “found her guilty" of the murder of Tomilo Ulzhavel "and sentenced her to die.”

Medo Ubezharan

**Dach'osmerrem Medo Ubezharan** is/was the wife of Odris Ubezhar.

## Life

At some point, Medo married Odris. They resided at the Untheileneise Court.

Duke Tethimel and Eshevis were negotiating with Varenechibel IV for Eshevis' marriage to Vedero Drazhin while planning to assassinate Varenechibel IV and most of his sons afterward, supposedly securing the regency of Idra Drazhar for Eshevis, as part of the Tethimadeise Conspiracy. The plan was that after Eshevis' marriage to Vedero, their Curneisei allies would plant a bomb on an airship carrying Varenechibel IV, Nemolis Drazhar, Nazhira Drazhar, and Ciris Drazhar. Odris negotiated (via courier) with the Curneisei for the airship bomb part of the plan. Although the bomb was placed, it was on the wrong ship/at the wrong time by dint of the Curneisei changing their plans, but Varenechibel IV and three of his sons were still murdered.

After Eshevis' failed assassination of Maia Drazhar at the Winternight Ball, and Odris' failed flight from the Untheileneise Court and his following capture by the Untheileneise Guard and interrogation, Odris admitted to much of the Tethimadeise Conspiracy. Medo was "distraught with horror" over Odris' scheming, and Eiru Berenar, the Lord Chancellor, advised her to seek divorce, to avoid holding the burden of shame for the crimes of others.

Odris was tried during the first two months of the new year, and was likely executed along with many of the other conspirators.

## Relationships

#### Odris Ubezhar

Odris did not seemingly involve his wife in the Tethimadeise Conspiracy.

Cemchelarna School for Foundling Girls

The **Cemchelarna School for Foundlings Girls** in Amalo was a former orphanage, school, and front by Pavalo Temin and her co-conspirators to use foundling girls for profit.

## Details

The school itself was on Goshawk Street. “The school was a large dormered brick building with a crisp black-on-white sign.” It had double doors for an entryway, beyond which lay a narrow foyer, with a bell-pull. The foyer "was a square room with lovely wood paneling; the staircase followed the walls around, with a broad landing just opposite the front doors, and above the landing was a large multipaned window with a pattern in stained glass as a border . . . . The carpet was also beautiful, although old and worn.” Pavalo had an office that was filled with pamphlets for the Hill of Werewolves.

The uniform was seemingly "an unbleached linen pinafore over a long-sleeved gray dress", and the girls wore two long children's plaits.

Pavalo set up the school to take in orphans, both elves and goblins, particularly the children of parents who would not recognize their parentage. At some point Pavalo and her lover, Anvina Renthalar, concocted a scheme to take pornographic photos of the girls to sell for their own profit, and used them as blackmail against the girls so they wouldn't speak out. After Pavalo was killed in the Hill of Werewolves, Thara Celehar and two foundlings, Balaro and Ziniän, gave depositions about the crimes of the administrators of the school, and the remaining girls were sent elsewhere and the school dissolved.

Halezh

**Mer Halezh** was a member of the Clocksmiths' Guild of Zhaö.

## Personality

Halezh seemed delighted to talk about the bridge and answer any questions about it. He was also encouraging to Maia Drazhar.

## Life

At some point Halezh joined the Clocksmiths' Guild and attained high rank. He joined the project to bridge the Istandaärtha, and designed the bridge himself. When they were unable to get a formal audience with the Corazhas for it, Nedaö Vechin used her influence with Maia to convince Maia to meet with Clocksmiths' Guild members, including Halezh, to talk about it. Avro Halezho and Halezh talked about the bridge with Maia and answered his questions. When Maia noted he required the agreement of the Corazhas to do anything, Avro was understanding, and noted they just wanted to give the project a proper chance, as the Corazhas often practiced a form of veklevezhek by letting ideas die unheard. Halezh thanked Maia for listening.

Maia later worked with members of the Corazhas to allow the idea to be formally presented to the Corazhas. Halezh, Avro, and Evet Polchina represented the Clocksmiths' Guild at the presentation. They brought along with them a functioning mini model of the bridge as planned to demonstrate for the Corazhas. The three answered questions from the Corazhas while the model worked. The idea was later approved, and called the Wisdom Bridge.

## Skills

Halezh is a higher rank in the Clocksmiths' Guild than Avro.

## Relationships

#### Avro Halezho

Caltavezharan

**Merrem Caltavezharan** was a teacher at Pavalo Temin's Cemchelarna School for Foundling Girls.

## Personality

Caltavezharan was too terrified to speak to Thara Celehar and Velhiro Tomasaran.

## Life

Pavalo and her lover, Anvina Renthalar, concocted a scheme wherein Anvina took pornographic photos of the foundlings at the school to sell for their own gain, and to use as blackmail in case the girls ever dared to speak out about it. Pavalo also intimidated and bullied Caltavezharan into silence, as Caltavezharan was a widow with two young children. When Thara and Velhiro went to the school to question the teachers and children about Tedoro's murder, Caltavezharan didn't say anything. She was later rounded up by the Vigilant Brotherhood along with everyone else at the school.

Azhanharad said that Caltavezharan would be dealt with lightly, due to the fact that she'd been bullied into silence and cooperation, and after the school was disbanded, she obviously no longer worked there.
