Editing Campaign:Warring Realm/Mnemon Kerig Tanila (section)

Breeding: {{dots|5|5}}
Family: {{dots|2|5}}
Mnemon Kerig, Tanila's paternal grandfather, was one of the finest generals ever to exist in the modern age. He served his House with the utmost honour and devotion during troubled times in the past, squelching full-blown rebellions in Mnemon's tributaries or defending them from brutal attacks. Kerig's strengthening of Mnemon's military was a factor in Mnemon being able to politically position herself and her house into the state of power they both currently lie in. Tanila grew up with her grandfather's influence in his waning years, although he was still able to regale her with stories of his battles, and later in life, the theory behind his actions. Kerig was overjoyed to see his granddaughter join the House of Bells after she graduated from the Heptagram, although he did not live to see her graduate. <br/>
Mnemon Karas, Tanila's maternal grandmother, is still alive. A graduate of the Heptagram, she has spent, and continues to spend, her adult life, in scholastic pursuits, like researching matters of the First Age, Anathema, delving into Arcane theory, the nature of the Wyld, et cetera. Mnemon herself is known to take pleasure in reaping the rewards of such diligent research; take any formal document or memo on such matters that has been written within the past 200 years from her library, and there's a decent chance Karas' name is somewhere on it. It was mainly Karas' influence and persuasion (presumably with a little help from Mnemon herself) that got Tanila into the Heptagram. To this day Tanila consults her grandmother on scholarly issues.<br/>

Tanila's reputation in House Mnemon is that of a zealous, perhaps overzealous, defender of the House's honour and manifest destiny. Many in the realm may also know her as an extremely competent military leader; some may even know of her as an arcane scholar, due to her schooling at the Heptagram. Less savory are the tales, only partially embellished, of her gruesome, 'hands-on' exploits against her enemies, both in battle and afterwards, and even against would-be allies who she had found wanting, earning her the nicknames "The Ripper" and "The Strangler". There are also the lingering questions of whether she is actually a sorceress, which to some outside of her House is a frightening prospect. (It isn't TRUE, of course. Tanila's knowledge of the occult and such matters are purely from a professional standpoint. Those of low rank inside her house might be ignorant enough as to the true nature of sorcerers and the Heptagram to confuse her for one, albeit with no disrespect meant; high-ranking officials from other houses who have been keeping tabs on  their potential enemies and compiling information on Tanila as a result would know that she isn't if they've been doing her job properly, but they may find it useful to keep the truth obfuscated and let rumours fester.)
