Geta Balfor
Her Holiness Geta Balfor
Geta Balfor is the current sitting Ecclesiast at the Mordar Temple in the City of Mordar. She is a 64-year-old Human from the Arian County of Morton on the southern border of Lesser Imesse. Geta has been a Priestess of the Pantheon of Heaven faith for 47 years and has spent nearly all that time working and leading her fellow faithful in the High Kingdom of Imesse, first in Southridge, then Jorick, and finally to the City of Mordar as a newly ordained Ecclesiast.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born in the tiny village of Chamvontue ("windy field" in Arian) in the Kingdom of Aria, Geta took her vows as a cloistered conventual of the faith at the age of only 17. Her obvious talents and intelligence led her superiors to push her into the priesthood and in just a few years she was a High Priestess and holding a leading position at an ecclesiast school in Southridge, Imesse. For the next 25 years, she taught other priests and priestesses the value of individual dignity and the responsibility inherent in the role of monarchs and nobility to recognize the value in even the poorest, most insignificant members of a society.
Education
Completely educated in the Faith, she is considered by her superiors within the Ecclesiarchy a true genius. Her grasp of such complex and nuanced subjects as theology, eschatology, divine law, and epistemology have made her humble opinion on any number of topics much sought after across the Faith community.
Morality & Philosophy
Geta is an out-spoken proponent of the responsibility of the noble and royal leaders of the world to care for and provide for the poorest of their subjects, in the most difficult of times. This much-vocalized position has not endeared her to the local nobility of Imesse, however. She has received much criticism from the noble and the wealthy, and even from members of her own faith.
Social
Reign
Geta has been the Ecclesiast of the Mordar Temple for just over three years now.
Social Aptitude
Geta has received real pushback for her outspoken criticisms of the noble leadership in three separate kingdoms, and one particular voice she has heard shouting her down is that of His Serene Holiness, Jem Baker of the Grand Temple, Northridge. As the ranking ecclesiarch of the High Kingdom of Imesse, Jem is under a great deal of political pressure to see Geta stop her sermons and lectures concerning the attitudes and behaviors of nobility towards the "common souls" of the country.
