Lady Loma Palune

Lady Loma Palune is a relatively minor noble of Ryslatel. She is, however, the most powerful information broker in the city. While known as being relatively secretive and a homebody, she is protective of those she cares for.

Professions
Nobles in other Kingdoms may waste their time away on frivolous activities, but the nobles of Ryslatel and the Archipelago in general often come from adventurous and active backgrounds. Some nobles create merchant empires, some rule the kingdom in the High Council, and others wander in search of adventure. Loma, herself, teaches the magical history of the Archipelago at the University in Ryslatel as well as assisting in experiments involving native magicks at Eurika Corp.

With her assistance several new technologies have been produced.
 * The horseless carriage, where the horses were replaced with a restless fire spirit that powers a motor with its fury. While it can go double the speed of a horse-drawn carriage with no exhaustion, the anger of a contained fire spirit can prove troublesome.
 * The knowledge glass, an enchanted pane of glass that contains the knowledge of a single person and can display it in fine print. This knowledge is typically extracted from books written by the person - while the knowledge can be taken directly from another's mind, the knowledge giver often ends up in poor shape.
 * The crystal lamp, a revival of an old piece of magic that allowed light to be stored indefinitely within crystals. While mages and wizards have used that sort of magic for as long as mortals have claimed use over magic, the crystal lamp is unique in that it rarely needs recharging by a magically-attuned person and does not need a steady flow of magic in order to stay bright.

Current Status
Lady Loma Palune is currently indisposed, having been allegedly poisoned by an assassin sent by Andre Daeli.
