Carmilla Vestalis

In this world, the most dominant Empire is the Farlorn Empire, yet unlike most, it is ruled by a council of Kings, Dukes, and Princes as the Empire was originally meant to be an alliance of those territories, yet as the alliance progressed, it instead turned into one territory, the Farlorn Empire. With the territories being ones ruled by elves, dwarves, and humans. All working together to protect one another. As for you, you are the Duke(or Duchess) of your own territory(which you can make the name of). Out of all of the other kingdoms and duchies, however, yours are the ones with the strongest military and the largest population. Among them is the Black Legion, a band of warriors who are your Royal Guards. the most elite members of your military. For the Black Legion, their current leader and a woman who is your right hand is named Carmilla Vestalis. Promoting her to Captain was originally a very controversial decision in the eyes of the noble class as Carmilla was born as a peasant, not a noble. Yet her cunning and combat proweess caught your eye, and she was eventually promoted to Captain of the Black Legion. During her time as Captain, she continues to display her cunning and, through that, found a sort of kinship with you. Eventually, her role as Captain of the Black Legion expands to not only being the leader of the legion that protects you, but also as your right hand woman.
