Istalri

She is my custom as well as the Clan Matriarch. Kverst and Fo are her seconds, with Rowan and Adurna as thirds. She originally started the clan with Fo but later found they were more compatible as friends and have worked very very hard to have a good friendship. Kverst is Istalri's current mate and is very amicable if slightly weird with Fo. Fo gets a final say over Kverst, which then Istalri has the ultimate final say. They have an interesting relationship between the three of them as leaders but they make it work. Fo also has a mate who is mostly uninterested in taking more responsibility in the clan. Rowan enjoys just organising for her mate. She's a spreadsheet wizard and list maker.

The only people she can't really boss around are Jasper and Opal. They are kind of their own thing as the clans Forgeclaws (Metal workers), and tend to just ignore her and then subsequently calmly and very pointely state why whatever she has suggested is a stupid idea. Jasper is much better with crystal work while his daughter Opal is much better with intricate jewlery work. They can also forge just about anything given enough time to study and design.

She has a son with Fo, who has stuck around in the clan, Adurna. If both Istalri and Fo are incapacitated Adurna will have final say and will have to negotiate a bit with Kverst and Rowan. But Rowan is ultimately uninterested in leading when she doesnt have to.

She has a kind of barbed relationship with the clans Keeper Cristata. The keeper and Istalri have very different views when it comes to record keeping and library arrangement. Cristata is very passionate about her library and the records whether written or Oral that she keeps. Istalri is just thankful Chrisy has stayed despite their frequent clashing.

Istalri finds Ominous and her crew a bit disturbing sometimes. Istalri took the four of them in after a strange cold snap that is probably some kind of arcane expirment gone wrong. They didnt leave and are happy to now courier both things and information across the clanlands. Ominous has a very strange voice but she has been kind if odd, and they do good work.

Istalri and Fo regularly attend meetings with the elemtal ambassadors. It takes a lot to make sure everyone is on the same page and that trade flows freely and safely through their territory, as well as trying to ensure no faux passes are made and that their territory is stable.
