Notes

• Crownsmaids: he first Ylrath Crown established the Crownsmaids: young promising noblewomen of particularly low birth with few options. They were taken in and trained to serve at the highest of tables, given genteel instruction, sufficient to grant them a spot in even the most exalted of Households. The Crown established a small academy for the training of these handmaidens, and placed them with worthy and deserving nobles. It has become very fashionable to have a Crownsmaid in one's service. This works out for everyone: the Crownsmaid gets opportunities she might never have before, and the noble gains an exceptionally trained, loyal, and discreet servant.
• Rowena maintains active correspondence with her Father and her siblings.
