Notable People in Fascist Halcyon

This very specific page is so i can keep some of my notes easy to find.

### Queen Volterra

Queen of Halcyon from 189 to 252 C, when she died of a heart attack at the age of 89. Early in her reign her husband died just before their only child was born, and she could not bear to look at the child and see his features, so she gave the baby up to an orphanage.

### Prime Minister Tahlia Kerenka

Tahlia was the Prime Minister of Halcyon, having served one term from 246-251 C and then being re-elected for her second five year term. She was the figurehead of the growingly popular Halcyon Worker's Party. She held moderate social-democrat views, and was stunningly popular amongst the Halcyian people, promising to combat the creeping food shortages, champion further worker's rights, and begin to redistribute the wealth to try to combat the wealth disparity in the city. Tahlia was seen as a revolutionary, and was described by one of Queen Volterra's viziers as *"a ticking time bomb to a thousand years of tradition*". Tahlia made her views known but was careful to never be, or act, too anti-monarchist for fear of alienating her support amongst the younger nobility. She was the *District Representative of Lucariston & Fairbank*.

### Spymaster Zenya Fortaleska

Zenya was Spymaster and Chief Informant of the Hawkshaws, the city's brutal secret police. She was capable and rose through the ranks from her quick thinking and eye for detail.
