The Chamber of Whitestone is a ruling body of Whitestone. Lord Percival de Rolo established the council after he and Vox Machina defeated the Briarwoods.
Positions[]
The Council currently consists of seven members: four chosen from community leaders, and three nobles.[1] Its members are appointed and removed from their duties by the head of the chamber.[2]
- The Guardian of Woven Stone: The leading figure on the council, responsible for higher civil justice, community unification and internal government. Percival de Rolo's intentions were for this position to always be held by a member of the De Rolo family.
- The Steward of Sunblessed Gifts: Responsible for local farming, goods and distribution.
- The Curator of Fortune’s Bounty: Responsible for all major commerce including local trade and trade with foreign entities.
- The Keeper of Divine Virtue: Responsible for religious organizations.
- The Commissioner of Wardship: Responsible for law enforcement matters and commands the Pale Guard. They also act as judge on smaller matters of civil justice, and are responsible for defending the city during times of war. This position, renamed by 836 PD, was previously called Pale Lord of Wardship.[3]
- The Architect of Enlightened Progress: Responsible for infrastructure of the city and castle. This position, renamed by 836 PD, was previously called Sophist of Native Ingenuity.[3]
- The Grand Mistress of the Grey Hunt: Responsible for diplomatic relations, and rooting out dangers within the Parchwood. This title has historically been tied to the Lord or Lady of the Third House of Whitestone, a title which was given to Vex'ahlia by Percy well before their marriage.
Current Members[]
- Cassandra de Rolo acts as The Guardian of Woven Stone.
- Percival de Rolo acts as Architect of Enlightened Progress.
- Lady Vex'ahlia acts as The Grand Mistress of the Grey Hunt.
Crest[]
The Crest of Whitestone is divided into three parts: top, middle, and bottom.
The top part has the sun on a field of blue. This represents the daytime sky and Whitestone's patron god, Pelor, who watches the city from above. The middle part has a tree — specifically, the Sun Tree — on a field of white. This represents Whitestone itself: life amidst the cold snow of the Alabaster Sierras.[citation needed] The bottom part has five stars on a field of purple, representing each Champion of Pelor that has served Whitestone.[4]
When Baroness Vex'ahlia of the Third House completed the trial of Pelor, Percival noted that the Crest would need to be updated with a sixth star.[5]
