Ashley Windsong

This stoic, sheikah noblewoman stands with excellent posture. She wears a tight, expensive business suit, complete with a large tie, and she has a monocle over her right eye, where a massive scar scraping her face is clearly visible. Her body appears young for her age, although this can be attributed to her racial heritage. She wears thin white gloves on her hands, the black glow of her Arbiter's mark vaguely visible underneath her left glove.

Ashley Windsong is the head political advisor for King Daerius Quintus , as well as the leader of the The Diplomats Guild of Krakonia(DGK) , an organization dedicated to negotiating with both foreign and domestics entities. She is known as a no-nonsense individual, leaving all the pleasantries to her king, choosing instead to convince others through an impressive use of debate and logic. She teaches through example, bringing her proteges with her on any quests to negotiate on behalf of the kingdom, although it is clear she only makes time for those who have successfully navigated through her sizeable curriculum to get ahead in the DGK, not trusting the bottom rungs of the ladder with anything important. The job of initiates is simply to learn the ways of their superiors, for when one speaks for the kingdom, one speaks with the voice of its people.

Windsong was among the first individuals to appear in Requerm during The Dawn and quickly joined up with The Harbingers of the Rising Dawn , using her talents as a courtesan to negotiate sizeable rewards from clients and easy surrenders from enemies. Over time, Windsong's party's notoriety grew, and eventually evolved as the leaders of the small Krakonia City , where her talents became even more necessary for her allies. When Krakonia entered The Unification Wars , it fell upon Windsong to recruit reliable allies and negotiate with their enemies, eventually convincing both categories to become a part of their kingdom. A part that is conveniently left out of many of the tales of Krakonia's founding is while King Daerius Quintus extended his olive branch to preserve the cultures of those he defeated, it was Windsong threatening the extinction of those cultures that convinced many tribes to choose the former.

Now that the Unification Wars are over, Windsong has shifted focus to teaching the next generation of Krakonia's diplomats through the founding of the DGK. There is little use for a diplomat when the few foreigners known to Krakonia all know their place, but it still falls to her to negotiate with those aforementioned foreigners when necessary. It is still necessary to trade with the few known tribes, as Krakonia's economy depends on the support gained from foreign imports. Windsong's main concern is for when the adventures of The Hook inevitably uncover more civilizations, so she takes the training of her successors seriously, knowing the guidelines must be in place lest the next generation be unprepared for war.

Ashley Windsong can primarily be found within The Heart of the Kraken , where the HQ for the DGK is located. The DGK is often responsible for filtering the concerns of the citizens in Krakonia, helping those who need it by directing them to the best organizations for the job, doing their best to leave the king available for the most important negotiations for the kingdom.
