Lady Nialla Granville

At Balemorale Castle

Lady in Waiting
This door leads to the private chambers of her highness, Queen Victoria. You're her friend, and one of my favorite customers at the Swordhaven Salon, but I can't sneak you in. The Queen is preparing for the summit, and can't be disturbed. You'll definitely have a chance to talk with her when it's time. Until then, why not have some tea? We could even have the royal cook make Pri- ah, Miss Tara's favorite sweetbreads.

At Frozen Balemorale Castle

Lady in Waiting
Now that you're here, we don't have anything to worry about! It'll give me time to study up on how to keep this Kall Haxa away next year. Queen Victoria trusted me with this responsibility, and I won't let her down again. Well, if there's an upside to this, the children are really excited to see a real, bonafide hero! Won't you stay a while after the beast is dealt with? When we have that fireplace back, we'll boil a chowder together.

Talk
This Kall Haxa…I remember seeing it stare back at me when I was little.

Castle
My father, Lord Granville, has stopped speaking to me. As punishment for his poor conduct during the last war, Queen Victoria took ownership of Castle Balemorale away from him, and gave it to me. It wasn't taken from the family, but he's furious. He can stay that way. I suggested that we turn it into an orphanage. Brittany and Brentan were my close friends, and Victoria believes in me. I'll follow their example, and make them proud.

Illaria
Queen Victoria introduced me to Princess Illaria and her family. Oh, I know she isn't a Princess, but she looks like one! It was hard to believe that she's a Necromancer, and nobles have been saying such terrifying things about Elves lately. The moment I saw her, I had to dress her in something cute! Apologies, I'm getting too excited. Illaria is here to help adjust the children to their new home. She and her…Undead minions… have been very helpful!

Kall Haxa
I had thought Kall Haxa was a legend, or that it had left Greenguard a long time ago. My father taught my brother about it, and didn't see the need to teach me. Then, he exiled his own son for falling in love with a commoner from the Yokai Isles. Nothing changed for me. If anything, it got worse. I had to break into my father's study to find out how to ward the Kall Haxa away next year. Here, take a look. It was written by one of my ancestors.

Lady in Waiting and Hair Dresser
Welcome to the salon! My name is Nialla Granville, and I'll be your hairdresser today. Please, take your time browsing the styles we have available in our catalog. Maybe you'd like a practical cut, but I do recommend the styles popular with the nobility. The upper crust shouldn't be the only people allowed to look and feel gorgeous! Let's bring out your best!

Dream
Though I am a Noble, my childhood dream was to become an artist and I became enamored with how our attendants would style hair so beautifully. My family was against it, turning up their nose at a 'commoner's profession.' Then, I became a lady in waiting to Princess Brittany. She encouraged me to follow my dreams, gave me her blessing, and protected me from the other nobles. I'm so grateful!

Rumors
I'm a bit of a gossip but you'd never catch me sharing any of the Princess' secrets. But some other rumors would be helpful for an adventurer. As of late, the Lionfang family has fallen out of favor with the royal family. They're now held in the same regard as the nobles that supported the previous King during the Rebellion. Vaughn, Cavendish, Reignolds, Noelle, Mitford, and Taylor are some of them.

Hierarchy
King Alteon made life for the people so much better when he was crowned. That being said, he's struggling to do everything he wants because of the noble court. Noblewomen like me are still pressured into marriage, taxes are absurdly high in some regions, and education is mainly restricted to nobility. If he forces too many things to change, many nobles will pull their support for the crown.
