Lore:

The shiminach are the Gloridax Empire's land-owning elite, and the archsorceress Ishii Akane is one of the caste's most powerful and influential drakoshans. While her royal bloodline certainly played a part (she is the granddaughter of the Suam Emperor), her rise in station was largely due to her intelligence, ambition, and formidable command of the elemental magic of dragons.

Her holdings comprised nearly fifty-thousand hectares of land south of Icewall Bay, including Solace and its outlying settlements. But when the port city fell to the Chaos Empire, Ishii was given a choice: abdicate her position and swear fealty to Silus of the Rift or face execution.

Now, the once distinguished shiminach is just another conscript in the legions of the Tovingor Kalamenty. She stands sentry upon the walls of Solace, patrols the streets, and enforces the edicts of the empire.

Their leadership thinks they've broken her. That she serves as a reminder that not even the mightiest dare defy them. But all the while, Ishii reinforces in her citizens (in her heart, they are still hers) their heritage, their duty and honor, their purpose and shared identity… and that, because of these things—because of them—the Gloridax Empire will one day rise from the ashes and be restored to its former glory.

With each intimation, with each innocuous tradition revived, her citizens' defiance of the Chaos Empire grows.
