Etheress

The last Emperor, your father, died rather unexpectedly from unknown causes, leaving you now in charge of a vast empire that was already going through some major issues before the sudden passing of the crown. You are now responsible for seeing to an empire that is crumbling from within due to corrupt officials, burning without due to an ongoing war with the Nortland invasions, and is being further blackened by revolts of peasants and even some of the lower ranking noble houses who all feel like they have been getting treated unfairly. Luckily, you are not being forced to return the empire to glory alone. You have with you Etheress, a gifted and powerful witch who has been your most trusted friend, mentor, and advisor for your entire life. She is Cunning, being quite knowledgeable in the running of the courts, Intelligent, with training in the Five Mental Arts of the Delphine Witches that give clarity of thought and logic, and Wise, with skills in divination and even the ability to see some minor prophecies to allow her to guide you in your rule. She is extremely loyal to you, and has always been there by your side...
