Lady Cymidei Fier, Former Mistress of the Dark Tower
Lady Ivy Shadowfare, Former Mistress of the Dark Tower
Although Cymidei Fier does not often speak of her past, a few details have been recorded into the chronicles and manuscripts of the realm. Cymidei Fier is described by those who have seen her as a pale noblewoman, clad in an elegant black gown, meticulously emblazoned with necromantic symbols.
She wears a black hat with a single raven-plume. Her eyes are said to reflect an inner despair and rage. Some say that the Mistress of the Dark Tower often speaks of Pain as a great teacher and a pathway to enlightenment. Any who encounter her, are warned to take extreme caution as she is well known for torturing those who anger her.
According to historical chronicles, Lady Fier arrived at the Dark Tower from the City of Wind, nearly four centuries ago It was said that she had once lived in a realm beyond the borders of Sosaria but no one is sure of where she is from.
During her early days in the Dark Tower, Cymidei studied elemental magicks and the philosophies of the Path of Darkness. At the end of her tenure as an Acolyte, Cymidei was made Cabal of Darkness. However, it was said that she betrayed the Master of the and left to form her own cult, based on heretical beliefs.
During the great wars, several assassins were sent to slay Cymidei however none were successful. On the frozen steppes of Dagger Island, Cymidei successfully evaded those who pursued her. She mastered not only Elemental Magick but also Demonology and Necromancy.
It is said that Lady Fier committed many murders and cruel deeds to maintain her solitude and to continue her experiments, undisturbed.
After the war, Cymidei wed Azalin the Lich and together they built an empire near the Town of Vesper. In time…Cymidei returned to the Dark Tower and eventually became Mistress for several centuries.
Some time after the Age of Shadows Cymidei's soul was able to wandered the void visiting otherworlds beyond the ether existing in Sosaria, she became as a shade or ghost, occasionally seen wandering the halls of the Dark Tower.

Lady Ivy Shadowfare, Former Mistress of the Dark Tower
Lady Ivy Shadowsfare
Fiery tresses, emerald green eyes and a porcelain complexion give Ivy Shadowfare an exotic enough look. Her profile, while not soft and beautiful, is graceful and aristocratic. She carries herself with a sinuous, yet noble grace. Many men find her entrancing though that is never something she strove to attain. There are few men that have been able to warm the cold heart of the Lady Ivy. She is cruel and unforgiving, but never deviates in her diplomatic manner - at least never where any witness could see an act that would speak ill of her.
The Lady Ivy makes no effort to hide most of her past; a street urchin, she took to poisoning the blades(and drinks) of the underhanded population of the city of Britain until a young knight by the name of Thorgrim took her in. Taken to the city of Avalon, she learned more of the world and honed her skill with a kryss. In a challenge she defeated the drow known as Alton. Unbeknownst to the young Ivy, Alton was the Cabal of the Blade and due to his defeat at her hands, as the code he followed demanded, he offered her his place as Cabal of the Blade of the Dark Tower.(Few know that she once carried this same drow's child, but killed it due to Alton's then-status as a traitor to the Tower). She debated this with herself and her then-guardian the Golden Knight Mrrshan, but ultimately chose to walk the path. One of the first members to enter the Tower's ranks in the position of a Cabal member, she was not accepted readily. The only female, and the youngest, she nonetheless held her place.
Years later, she became Mistress and pursued the Arcane arts, abandoning her proficiency with martial weapons. Unfortunately, the Arcane powers are not for everyone, and with their use comes the Ether Sickness - an illness that leaves Ivy sometimes debilitated. After a time as Mistress, the essence of the Dark Tower seemed to noticed the fading life energy of its Mistress and chose a new voice in the lands - Cymidei Fier. Ivy's reign was one of diplomatic manipulations and politics. Cymidei promised a reign of something darker for the Tower.
Ivy was the first Mistress of the Tower to step down and live, yet remain in the lands where she'd served. For a time she acted as an advisor and Seer to the Tower. Mysteriously, she disappeared. Her large estate near the Trinsic swamps was given over to the Avalon estates, along with her expansive library (one of her most treasured possessions). Since then, few have heard much of the Lady Ivy. Even fewer have seen her.
