Dragon-Blooded of Varangia

The Satrap's Office
Traditionally, the Satrap's offices consists of the Satrap and her Four Advisors. Though the ideal is to have at least three of the Advisors be Terrestrial Exalts, and all of them be from different Houses, it isn't always possible to manage. Two of the Advisors are Dragon-Blooded (of Houses V'neef and Sesus), and the other two are patricians of Houses Cathak and Tepet.
- V'neef Qatia (Air Aspect • Scarlet Hall or Sugati Bahudeya Estate, Yane): A young Varangian woman, Qatia Exalted at the age of twelve, and was quickly brought by the Wizarat to the Satrap. House V'neef formally adopted the young woman, and sponsored her entry into the Spiral Academy, where she excelled. With her graduation, it was simple enough to see that she was placed in the Foreign Office and assigned to the household of the Satrap of Varangia, to take advantage of the young woman's origins for the benefit of the Satrap. Here, she serves as advisor and one of the Satrap's Advisors.
- Sesus Paulin (Wood Aspect • Scarlet Hall, Yane): Gregarious and handsome, Sesus Paulin is one of the Advisors and often the Satrap's preferred messenger and emissary. He has an excellent speaking voice, and he is an adept hand with flattery. The life of the party, Sesus Paulin is something of a carouser, sampling the beauty of the Varang people when he explores the nightlife of Yane, usually leaving Karia, his patrician wife and their two toddlers at home.
The 34th Legion
One of the V'neef Legions, the Thirty-Fourth is assigned to defend Imperial holdings (and by that, it is understood to mean V'neef Holdings) primarily in the Varang City-States, with a small group of them stationed in Harbourhead, to secure House V'neef holdings there as well.
The Thirty-Fourth is not quite at full strength for a Legion, consisting of 8 dragons (500 men apiece) instead of the traditional 10. Its general, six dragonlords (one in Kriss, two in Yane, two in Talt and one in Harborhead) and two winglords (both in Yane) are Dragon-Blooded, with the rest of its officers being mortals. The Thirty-Fourth has the distinction of being quite well-equipped, however, thanks to deep V'neef coffers.
The Thirty-Fourth has garrisons in Kriss (3 dragons), Yane (2 dragons), Talt (2 dragons), and a final unofficial garrison in Harborhead for its final dragon.

Immaculate Order
- Abbot Ledaal Urakashi (Air Aspect • Temple of the Star-Dragon, Yane, Varang City-States): A pleasant woman well-suited to the task of being an Immaculate abbot of a temple in a nation that has little use for the Immaculate Philosophy, Urakashi is something of a fixture at the Satrap's court. She and the Satrap frequently have tea to discuss matters of Immaculate importance. She has learned not to push on matters of state.
- There are two other Exalts at the Temple of the Star-Dragon, as well, the Mnemon Larinn (Earth Aspect) and the Lost Egg Unheard Whisper (Water Aspect).
- Mnemon Arnis (Earth Aspect • Wanders the Varang City-States): A wandering monk of the Immaculate Order, Mnemon Arnis is quite the missionary. He believes that it is the responsibility of the Empire to instill respect and reverence of the Immaculate Philosophy into the Varang people, rather than their current lackadaisical approach to such efforts.
