Shalmanat
The Protectress of Li Heng, a magus of great power said to have guarded the city since its founding, worshipped by its people as patron goddess to the fury of Burn's priests.
Shalmanat is the Protectress of Li Heng, said to have held that office since the city's founding, and she rules alongside a chosen circle of magi. She is a magus of great power in her own right, drawing on Kurald Thyrllan, and she keeps some measure of hold over Ryllandaras. Having seen what she can do, the people of Li Heng have taken to worshipping her as the patron goddess of the city, which outrages the priests of Burn, who hold that office officially.
