Lore
This section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.The Countess, also referred to as the Mistress of the court, is a venthyr who is the Harvester of Desire, bearer of the Medallion of Desire, and thus has authority over the Castle Ward and is in charge of the court, composed of all the noble houses of the venthyr. She resides in Redelav Tower, which can only be accessed by the adventurer through a mirror from Thornhill Manor, which is Theotar's former residence due to his being her "paramour". The only named venthyr nobles other than Duke Theotar and Madame Iza friendly to the adventurer are those found within Redelav Tower. According to her butler Alfryd, the penance of those that Desired in life is to serve the nobles of the court.
The Countess is a charismatic and cunning venthyr, capable of both brutal betrayal and fair diplomacy. It is also implied that she gets bored easily and likes playing games. She makes wagers with the other nobles to see how long it would take the Maw Walker to die, claiming it was the most exciting thing to happen since Renathal's rebellion, as well as allying with the Venthyr Covenant against Denathrius simply because she was excited to see what would happen.
