The Herder Queen:

Tanaris is the wife of Wouput, one of the wealthiest traders in the Empire. Wouput’s father and grandfather built a vast network of trade routes, securing lucrative deals transporting exotic terali spices to the central empire.

Wouput has however chosen to live an opulent life, frittering away vast portions of his family’s wealth and embarrassing their legacy. It is commonly held that the one good decision he has made during his career was to marry the forceful and confident Tanaris of the Teral clan. Since moving to Daugon, Zelehn has played the politics and accrued a great deal of power for herself and her husband. She was briefly in favour with the Emperor and during that time secured a position as mistress of the his herds and has been dubbed by many as The Herder Queen.

She leads her personal guards riding atop one of the Emperor’s Enuk Nobilis, an honour bestowed on very few individuals outside the Order of Relan.
