The Holy Seat

Head of the religion of The Maker in Iquai. Holy Seats are chosen by a council of religious leaders who examine a candidate's piety, good works, and devotion to the Maker, amongst other things. Once chosen, a Seat holds his or her position either for life, or until a 4/5 majority of the council believes he or she is no longer capable of performing his or her duties.

Prilla Marianas
The Holy Seat Prilla held power for 27 years. She has been seen as hopeful but ineffective. Many of the citizenry believe she has failed them in not speaking out about allowing the orcs to rise in authority, though they do not say it aloud. It is whispered that she is so inactive because she is desperately waiting for the children to come again, hoping that it will be under her time as head of the order that the children reappear.

Prilla was a kind older woman who helped The Children of Destiny when they arrived at Fallowfield. She was Gwendolyn's mentor. She gave Oren her locket, which led The Children to find the Glyph in the library, which took them all to Thirshalon.

Altrustus Genevere
The seat before Prilla. A little stern, but kindly. A little more pragmatic than Prilla. Not quite so fanciful.
