Quick facts:Hermelynn Balfina
Hermelynn Balfina, also known as the Lady of the Tower, is the current leader of Stormlight, and former anti-pirate captain.
Background
Hailing from No Man's Landing on the island of Sandholm, Hermelynn Balfina's early life was marked by poverty and hardship. Witnessing the disparity between the haves and have-nots instilled in her a strong sense of justice. She eventually formed a crew of like-minded individuals and acquired a ship, becoming self-styled privateers who hunted down those who exploited others. Balfina and her crew patrolled the waters as far east as the Sword Coast, but she always remembered her roots. After each voyage, they would return to No Man's Landing and use their earnings to improve the settlement.
Ascension to Leadership
In 1494, after the formation of The Conclave in Lynmark, Balfina's life took a significant turn. The Conclave, a group of magic-users who had settled in the tower citadel of Stormlight, along with representatives from the army and citizens of Lynmark, decided to establish a bi-annual system for choosing a leader. In an unexpected turn of events, Hermelynn Balfina was voted as the leader of the Lynmark government by a 2:1 ratio. Despite being a relative unknown in politics, she quickly gained the support and admiration of the people.

Her passion and zeal, however, have also raised concerns among outsiders, who fear that her strong convictions could potentially escalate tensions beyond mere words.
