Amicia Adamaris
The Voice of Vryehelm
“I spent years trying to be better than my father.”
Raised as the daughter of the governor who rules Vryehelm in Britannia's name, Amicia Adamaris grew into the one voice in the free south that Frysians still trusted. She wears the Veritas, a ring that wakes for almost no one, and when her eyes turn green even armed men do as she asks, though each use takes something from her that does not come back. She believed one person with enough conviction could change a system, and she was right, but she did not live to see it.

The Chronicle
The Governor's House
George Adamaris governs the free south on Britannia's terms, and it was his hand that signed away a generation of Frysian boys to Britannia's wars. Amicia and her younger sister Jackie grew up at his table, in the most powerful house in Vryehelm. He has never spoken of where either girl was born, and no one in his household has been unwise enough to ask.
The Bracelets
As a child she had two friends, and the three of them braided bracelets for one another. Both were lost to her before she was grown, one of them taken from a playground and never found. Every speech Amicia gave and every law she backed after that was meant to build a Frysia where no child could vanish again, and in time the people of the south came to love her for it.
The Veritas
The ring answers to her blood. With it she can turn a guard from a door or a soldier from an order, and her father learned long ago which rooms to send her into. It has greyed her hair before its time. The governor watches the ring more closely than he watches the girl who wears it, and the good she has done with it has always served him first.
She trusted the wrong man to deliver justice. The world is still paying for it.
