Glynis is a Seelie Sidhe Wilder of House Eiluned and Queen of Three Hills in Caledonia.
Overview[]
Glynis quietly took over the Borders while the fae warlords of the north battled over the riches of the cities. Although her court is dominated by sidhe, Glynis has handed out freeholds to nobles and commoners equally. When the Kingdom of Dew threatened to invade, the commoners rallied to her aid, and the late King Baird found that he was facing hundreds of tiny armies. Their determination prevented the war from beginning.
Her greatest secret is that she is in love with Ross. She sees this as a weakness, for she hates the idea of anyone having power over her, but she cannot help herself. Her spies report that Ross may be courting one of the countesses of Cymru and that angers her beyond belief. Should it be true, her jealous heart would be terrible indeed.
Glynis knows of a secret glade, within which are crevices filled with clay capable of making corp creadha. Once fashioned to resemble her victims, the dolls give her three extra successes to any Art she chooses to cast upon the victim. By sacrificing a permanent point of Glamour and inflicting damage upon the corp credha, she may also visit physical damage and even death upon her target. Her corp creadha collection consists of dolls fashioned after all the rulers of Caledonia, and most of her nobles.

Although impressive, Glynis' demeanor is not flamboyant. She left her mortal seeming behind years ago and does not speak of it. Glynis' bearing is icy and aloof at most times, but her laughter, often unexpected, is delightful. Her features are fine, and she is short for a fae. Her delicate, pale, and coldly beautiful face is framed by her ebony tresses. Her clothing usually consists of layers of lace and silk, and she favors scarlet and purple.
Personal[]
Glynis is cool and disdainful unless something truly amuses her; then she lets loose her joy. She never lets anyone, not even her most-trusted retainers know her two secrets: her love for Ross and the corp creadha.
Treasures[]
Glynis' corp creadha collection makes her a wily and dangerous enemy. Only she has access to the clay capable of making these dangerous items.
