Welcome, my friends.
A few weeks ago, I told the story of Murazel, the Guardian Angel of Hammerfall. Today, I will tell you about another member of Ivan's council, the sorceress Tanis from the Silver Cities.
It is easy to forget that Tanis is a powerful mage, as her powers of enchantment are usually noticed first. Independent and romantic, considered an astonishing beauty even by the high standards of the Silver Cities, more rumors swirl around Tanis than any other member of Duke Ivan's council. A direct descendant of the founders of the Magic Academies and the daughter of a mixed marriage of houses, her father from the House of Matter, her mother from the House of Anima, Tanis is a representative of the Circle of Nine, sent to spread the influence of the Silver Cities throughout Ashan.
Tanis has always appeared in areas of trouble and dispute, and then disappeared just as quickly – one of her nicknames is "The Eyes of the Cities," the other is "The Silver Tongue"; although no one would dare say this to her face. As a mage, Tanis specializes in the magic of the House of Anima, and is therefore a master of elemental magic and spirit summoning.
Tanis was sent to advise Duke Ivan during this crucial time of civil war. She saved his life in a difficult situation, and since then has become a trusted confidante and member of his war council. Indeed, Tanis has stayed with Ivan's company longer than she has stayed anywhere else – is this a sign of the Duke's great destiny, or something more personal, remains to be seen. Regardless of the true reason, whispers abound that she has somehow enchanted him, even within the council...
Tanis seems unconcerned about the distrust she inspires in some. She rarely gets angry, and is the first to try to ease any tension, using humor and a light touch to defuse situations. Occasionally, this tactic is known to enrage other members of Ivan's Council, who do not see the wisdom in her words, often clouded by the aggressive scent of her charms. Tanis is well-versed in the art of storytelling, and relies heavily on the power of metaphor and lyricism. After all, she comes from a culture where bedtime stories hide the wisdom of the ages, and are essentially written more for adults than for children.
