I is for...

Iestin Gwyn

Iestin Gwyn, his mistress, Jainys Hardwich, and his niece Hebe Gwyn (whom he has raised as his own daughter since childhood and who is a key Dewyth of Eiria) runs the Coastal clan between them until Eiria has grown into a thriving Port city. The whole of the Eirian lands have a reputation for being wealthy and peaceable, looking outwards across the seas to the islands beyond for trade, rather than war.

Iestin is kind and uses his position to implement positive changes for the people under his rule, but nonetheless represents the corruptness of the political system.

The laws of the clanlands mean that whilst anyone of age can vote for their chieftain, once that chieftain has been elected, he remains so for life. Laws which were created in times of war, when the life-expectancy of a chieftain realistically ranged from anywhere around ten years to ten days, have not changed to reflect these times of peace. This gives the chieftains an inordinate amount of power.

There are also strict laws forbidding a chieftain to fasten, intending to ensure that he serves the good of all his people and will not be influenced by his wife, children, family or in-laws - aiming to counteract nepotism. In reality, this means that chieftains merely do not marry their lovers, not that they do not take them. The unofficial adoption of Hebe demonstrates another political loophole which even apparently good men take advantage of.
