The Grand Vizier

Grand Vizier of Raam

The Grand Vizier typically appears to her subjects as a beautiful woman with black hair and dusky, olive skin. She often dresses in revealing, often see-through attire and exudes an almost sinister sexuality. The Grand Vizier, or Abalach-Re, is the sorcerer-queen of the city-state of Raam. She rules with a certain indolent neglect that is widely interpreted as incompetence. For centuries, Raam has been teetering at the very edge of anarchy between rival noble factions, the beleaguered templars, criminal organizations, and merchant interests. She claims to be the “Grand Vizier” of a divine entity known as Badna, and mandates worship of Badna in every temple and shrine in the city. Her cynical populace, however, are of the majority opinion that Badna is entirely a fictitious construct created to provide a convenient excuse for the ineptness of her rule.

Personal history

Not much is known about the queen's life. Ancient murals under Raam seem to portray a general-turned-queen that looks very much like her, but taking into account the age of those murals, it would mean she is impossibly old. Or perhaps not impossible with sorcery though. The murals also depict her arriving in Raam. Where did she come from? What about her army? Who were her soldiers?
