House Vãduva
Once a minor noble family known for producing a high number of wizards, House Vãduva has skyrocketed to prominence under the rulership of the Ivory Queen. Its Aparator, Ștefan Vãduva, was recently raised to Voievod of Velek Tzorsy, at the expense of House Tzoresc.
Personalities
Ștefan Vãduva
Voievod of Velek Tzorsy, Magiarch of the Malachite League, Minister of Offices, Arapator of House Vãduva, First of His Name
Once considered a relatively minor scion of a minor noble house in Dracia, Ștefan of House Vãduva allied himself to House Neculai at a young age. Even before her ascension as monarch in her own right in 1344 IC, Ștefan was often found at the King's Court in Kzerna and was one of the Ivory Queen's closest advisers. Upon her ascension, the Ivory Queen selected Ștefan as Master of Mysteries, during which time he established the Vrăjitors, a group of mages across several guilds loyal to the Queen herself. He soon became Minister of Offices, the highest administrative post in Dracia, and quickly gained a reputation as spymaster for the Queen, reorganizing the offices under his authority to gather information for him across Dracia and beyond. In 1348 IC, he was installed Voievod of Velek Tzorsy upon the death of Paskal of House Tzoresc, making House Vãduva one of the Great Houses of Dracia at the expense of House Tzoresc.
A prominent member of the Malachite League, Ștefan is a powerful and well-respected mage on his own merit, having achieved the rank of Magiarch within the League. Most expect that he will be elevated to the rank of Archmagi in the League at some point, which will extend his influence and intelligence network well beyond Dracia. Ștefan is rarely without his childhood friend and Marshal of Velek Tzorsy, Klement Sarka. Despite his military rank, Sarka is more a personal bodyguard and military adviser to Ștefan than a military field commander.
