Xanthe
The oldest of the three vassals, a former Greek priestess who holds the southeast of the valley.
Xanthe is the eldest of Brencis's three vassals and the most patient. Before she was turned she was a priestess in Greece, and she has kept the manner: she rules by rite and by obligation rather than by force.
Her holdings sit in the southeast of Vale Sangora. Her official title at court is boyaress, and the game is precise about that word, so the site uses it too.
From Coen's journal
Xanthe is the oldest vrakhir in Brencis's court, older even then the knyaz himself. While the others rely mainly on their claws and fangs, Xanthe prefers to meddle with her foes's minds. They say she can drive you mad in an instant… Or even make blood come bubbling out of your ears.
In Brencis's grand plan, she's responsible for turning soldiers into blood guards. How exactly she does that remains a mystery, but it involves a dark ritual that cannot be reversed.
