Description
Leonore of Alyss is a tiefling with golden-brown skin and golden horns, carrying herself with a strong noble presence in fine clothes. She is open-minded and unafraid to share the details of her plans when it suits her — but she is also cunning and calculating, often talking others into believing they want what she wants through sheer persuasion.
She hails from a distant place called Alyss and sought refuge underground as a child, where she was taken in by the drow noble house of Al’ar. Raised within the family, she was schooled early in drow politics — cunning and intrigue as tools of survival and advancement.
She is currently one of three candidates running for Mayor of Chrysalis City, campaigning to represent the city’s underclass with backing from the Al’ar.
Motivations
- Power for the Minority — Seeks representation for the underclasses, ensuring the marginalized and subterranean races have a voice in government and are integrated into surface society.
- Economic Redistribution — Proposes taxing higher income classes and lessening the burden on those who earn less.
- Cultural Integration — Wants to bridge the gap between surface dwellers and subterranean inhabitants.
- Justice and Equality — Driven to correct the historical wrongs done to the drow and other marginalized races.
- Empowerment of the Oppressed — As a member of a minority herself, she is driven to empower those overlooked or oppressed, seeing the election as a chance to shift the island’s power dynamics.
- Strategic Alliance — Her alliance with the Al’ar is also tactical: the family has provided intel on underground paths that open new economic possibilities.
She genuinely believes in her platform of redistribution and integration — she may or may not fully realize the extent to which the Al’ar are using her as a figurehead to gain surface-world legitimacy.
Role in the Campaign
- One of three candidates in the Chrysalis mayoral election (alongside Elis Kulf and Grothor Morain), scheduled for Rhaan 9th (Boldrei’s Feast).
- Runs her campaign office out of Northward, working to reach Chrysalis’s non-human and working-class populations — documenting exploitation and discrimination, organizing community meetings in neglected districts, and handling “sensitive communications” with underground contacts.
- Publicly the Al’ar’s most visible surface project: rumor holds she isn’t merely backed by the family but is their protégé, groomed specifically for this election — if she wins, the drow gain not just influence in Chrysalis but control.
- Street-level rumor is more cynical: that she promises to tax the wealthy and redistribute to the poor, but the Al’ar “don’t pay taxes — they just want us to pay for their schemes.”
- Zander has been known to escort her personally, suggesting the campaign takes her physical security seriously.
Relationships
- Al’ar — The drow noble house that took her in as a child and now backs her campaign; also the source of quiet control over her political rise.
- Elis Kulf — Rival mayoral candidate (Human, current mayor and Labs Speaker), campaigning on technological dominance.
- Grothor Morain — Rival mayoral candidate (Goliath, Speaker of Dragon Logistics), campaigning on agricultural rights and decentralizing power from the Labs.
- Daeloth Al’ar — Fellow Al’ar-connected NPC; described elsewhere as viewing her as “a political instrument of the family.”
Notes
- Continuity note: it is left ambiguous across sources whether Leonore is self-aware about being an Al’ar figurehead — Chrysalis Labs DM Notes frames it as an open question (“she may not realize she’s being manipulated, or she knows and has decided that achieving power through compromise is better than having no power at all”). Preserved as intentional ambiguity rather than resolved.
