Front Page LadyKeys

LadyKeys is the HighCourt's executioner and keeper of the land's prisons. It is a position that a noble is apprenticed to at a young age, when their family is badly disgraced. Nobody has been able to discover which family and what disgrace tarnishes our current Lady of Keys, so rumor has it that she is of common lineage.

Once apprenticed, the executioner to be learns a method of slaying I am not sure I understand..is it hypnosis? Some mystical control of the victim's body? I do not know, but it is difficult to argue that they die in anything less than a state of peace, at one stroke.

She has a courtly right to travel where she likes, and some method to get into places that leaves no magical or physical trace. Terrifying.

Apparently PrinceXanthus has tried to court her to no avail, and by some twist of intrigue this has led to her investigating some debacle with the IronSabre. The HighCourt may be better served letting her focus on the SilentRevolution instead.

She's rather terrifying.

No brigand, pirate or revolutionary feels shame at running from her.

I once botched a job for a powerful client because I had to flee from Lady Keys. Thought my client would have my hide but no, even the underworld understands such terror.

Only DeritriaEleven's unafraid, granted she has the right to be.

As far as "keeper of prisons", I have only seen the LadyKeys in the role of liberator of those found to be wrongly held. Though I am given to understand from the assistant to the LadyPrecedent that the closure of the VaultOfShame? was as a result of a visit from LadyKeys which confirmed a number of improprieties of custodianship. Complaints of her tenure as one concerned with raking of filth seem merely to affirm the necessities of her unusual custom of service, almost as minister without portfolio.
