🎠Toreador: The Patron of Poets and Theater
Name: Dame Almodis de Roubion
Clan: Toreador
Role: Mistress of Word and Stage – oversees poetry, drama, and the literary arts in both mortal and Cainite society.
Territory/Influence: Close to the Palais de Justice and Eleanor’s court—has salon privileges and easy access to bards, scribes, and court performers.
🧠Background:
Almodis was Embraced in Provence for her exceptional lyrical craft and her scathing political satires. Her work once humiliated a powerful bishop, earning her both notoriety and Kindred interest. In Poitiers, she has carved out a niche as the unofficial sponsor of courtly poetry. She is highly respected (and feared) among mortal poets, especially since her ghoul—Guilhem d’Argenson, a charming and sharp-tongued troubadour—is beginning to eclipse even seasoned performers.
🎠Roleplaying Notes:
-
Wields words like daggers.
-
Prone to quoting poetry in conversation—but always with a barbed edge.
