MorineLady Morine LagoranBorn: 3479 Morine Lagoran is the only sister of Farquar, Lord Lagoran, and consequently his heiress. She has had a notorious past - and shows every inclination to continue it into the present. An erstwhile mistress of Duke Atropos, she is believed to have acted as a spy for him. However, she began a passionate and unwavering devotion to Nira, then the cast off wife of Atropos, when they were both captured by rogue slavers. After their escape, Morine shared Nira's exile in a remote Hoberty farmhouse, and then returned with her to the city shortly before Atropos' second marriage and subsequent assassination. Her devotion to Nira has never wavered - although she is rummoured to have taken a variety of male lovers, including Demetreus, Lord Windhaven. Now, however, she is aware that if she is to consolidate her position as tyhe Lagoran heir, she needs to marry soon and produce the necessary child - preferably a son. |
