Claudine Lambert
Claudine Lambert, Provost of Vision
Claudine is the Provost of Vision of the Profetta Torre in Mustoir. She is known as a great Oracle, capable of seeing events both past and future. She is regarded as a prodigy, having started her studies at just 13 years old and risen to the title of Provost by her mid 30s.
Truths are easy to find, it is the understanding of them which is life's great challenge.
Life and career
Claudine was the fourth child and third daughter of a minor noble house in Lassiton. As soon as she learned to read, she spent much of her childhood sitting by rivers or lakes, reading stories of far flung lands. After begging her parents, she was able to sit the entrance exam for Profetta Torre at the historically young age of just 13, gaining one of the highest marks ever recorded. A natural flair for language saw her cruise through her education, attaining the rank of Associate Mage at 18 years old. After a brief stint in Darimouth as a translator for Amathaan traders, she returned to Mustoir aged 20 after successfully predicting a large storm and probably saving the lives of several crews. She was fast tracked into a Research Fellowship at just 24 years old - the age most are just completing their studies as students. She had an unsuccessful project where she was encouraged to specialise in the prediction of weather patterns, but she often correctly foresaw other minor events. Frustrated with feeling shoehorned into a restrictive role, she took to spending a lot of time in the gardens, often with her feet in the water. It is here she was finally approached by Serge Gamond, the incumbent Provost of Vision, who rarely left the Sanctum below the Tower. He invited her down to meditate with him on her future, and her long standing connection with Meyjariel finally flourished into a deep connection to the truth of reality. After Serge resigned in protest to his foretelling of the death of Mathion Paucard, Claudine was recommended as the new Provost of Vision at just 32 years old.Appearance and presentation
As a high born Lassan, Claudine is strikingly beautiful with long blond hair worn in plaits and adorned with jewellery and flowers from the Torre gardens. She has dark brown eyes and wears extensive eye and face makup in swirling patterns of deep blues and purples. She has a fondness for flowing silk garments, usually in blue, and a wide range of silver jewellery. Despite her beauty and Lassan upbringing, she is not a sexual person, fearing intimacy and preferring solitude whenever possible. She spends much of her time meditating in the Sanctum, chanting in extra-planar languages she barely understands. If she were not so accurate in her predictions, she would be viewed even by the fellow members of the Torre as completely detached from reality. She leaves her chambers only once each day to wander the gardens barefoot at dawn and collect flowers, sending her predecessor Serge to attend meetings with the Torre leadership.Relationship with Meyjariel
Claudine understands Meyjariel as a guide to her meditation, and commissioned the marble statue of her in sea elf form which now stands within her chambers below the Torre. Meyjariel does not speak to her directly, preferring to simply guide her journeys.
