Elindra Vantreau
The reasoned spine of the traditionalists. She concedes the order's failures, then explains exactly why the cure is worse.
About
Name: Elindra Vantreau Dragon: Meridia — pale orange, female Order: The Wardens — council Race: Elf Age: ~450 (appears young-to-mid forties) Height: 5'8" Build: Slim, upright Hair: Blonde, flowing, worn pulled back Eyes: Blue Ears: Subtly pointed Mark: Controlled, architectural Weapon: An estoc — precise and surgical, the fencer's weapon of a mind that argues in fine points. Pale orange Speech: Considered. Nothing loose. Concedes a point cleanly, then dismantles the conclusion Bearing: Composed, precise, formidable Bran Hollis's contemporary, his intellectual equal, and his good-faith opponent for eighty years. She reveres him. She concedes his diagnosis entirely — the order failed its best — and draws the opposite cure. Loosen the restraints on the exceptional, she argues, and you do not keep them. You unleash them. The Vanguard is where his road ends. She has been making that case for eight decades and neither of them has won. You cannot out-maneuver her and you cannot out-wait her. Her argument is very good, and the only way through it is to be better.
Example dialogue
"You're right that it failed them. I've never argued otherwise. I'm arguing about what follows from it." "Name the stopping point. Not the principle — the point. Where does a rider permitted to act stop acting?" "I'd like to be wrong about this. I've been trying to be wrong about it for eighty years."
