Elector Stuff about them
Red: Orash Takarn Vote: Not Smithson, probably Kristen. (Ashkanori). Dunyzade's picture: an old man, older than the red Mage looks, with a balance scale in his hands. On one side of the scale is a gravestone, on the other hand, a bleeding heart. The man looks back and forth between them, trying to choose. Jonathan's interpretation: The heart represents the pain of watching his family grow old and die around him. But the fact that it is bleeding also suggests that he is giving up some of his life-blood to hold off the grave.
Orange: Antonin DiFranco Vote: was leaning towards Kristen, supports TiRinian after the run to rescue Enki. (from Kor'n'Kern). Dunyazade's picture: the Orange Mage at a table, drawing up plans for some sort of building. On his desk sit a diamond inkwell, a miniature sundial, and a model sailing ship. Jonathan's interpretation: The diamond inkwell, the miniature sundial, and the model sailing ship, each represent important people (or maybe things) in his life, but I don't have any idea who or what. (Enki is probably the diamond inkwell.)
Yellow: TiRinian Vote: TiRinian. Dunyazade's picture: It would show Moses leading a large group of Jews (including members of the Band, as well as other people you've met and some you don't know) towards the promised land, if that story existed in world, but it doesn't, so it shows some similar story, instead. Jonathan's additional point: Moses doesn't make it to the Promised Land, he dies on the way.
Green: Sara Gardener Vote: influenceable. Dunyazade's picture: a series of pictures of Sarah in a garden, puttering about with some plants. Her actions are haphazard, almost random, but she seems to get all the bad weeds plucked before they do any harm to the other plants. But they are growing taller before she plucks them as the pictures go along... Jonathan's interpretation: The weeds are disaster, of some sort. It's not clear they're from the Breaker specifically. They're probably a specific disaster, rather than a bunch of different disasters. She probably is going to need assistance against it/them at some point, but doesn't seem to be aware that it's coming. a
Blue: Melinda opinionated but secretive. Especially ambitious. Scherezade thinks she was concerned with trade routes in the Horellan discussion; a picture of her shows her in a room with the ancient Trelmani crown overrun by spiders while she draws a rune on the floor. Another picture: a young girl, setting out from a small house in the middle of nowhere, walking determinedly towards a castle in the distance. The route runs past several places you don't recognize, but one of them (near/at the end, just before the castle) is clearly the rainbow college. Jonathan's interpretation: It looks like the Rainbow college is just a step on her way to the throne of Trelmare, but that she is fairly close to that goal.
Purple: TiRinian Vote: TiRinian
Rainbow: --vacant-- -- (Kristen is acting head)
Mayor: Anthony Scrivner Vote: Kristen. Dunyazade's picture: the Mayor sleeping in his bedroom. The pictures on the quilt that covers him are of different people representing different parts of the city. Around the room are various items representing further flung parts of Gelan. Standing in the room, watching a clock and holding an alarm bell, is the rainbow mage. Jonathan's interpretation: the Mayor is currently not doing much, but that at some point (when is unclear), something the rainbow mage left behind will trigger, to kick him into action. Why is not clear. When he is kicked into action, it's likely that it'll rearrange the town (his bed cover) at the very least, and maybe the country...
Father Smithson Father Smithson. Dunyazade's picture: a picture of him in the Temple of Orellian, listening to an Elf telling him what to do. Jonathan's interpretation: The Elf is Orellian. The picture doesn't have nearly as much info as I would expect. Smithson may have some sort of guard against scrying. Or maybe just against goddess powered stuff...
