Haldmeer Grobaras, Lord-Mayor

Lord-Mayor Haldmeer Grobaras

The mayor of Magnimar is a reflection of his city, grown large and wealthy due to popular trading agreements, but corrupted by the same elements. However, as long as he is in power, he will be a force to be appeased and possibly a powerful ally.

In theory he must share power with the equally bloated Council of Ushers, but in reality he handles much of the immediate running of the city himself. Due to his general lack of interest in city affairs most of his decisions are based on which side offers him the largest gift or bribe. Despite his portly appearance and foppish demeanor, Haldmeer Grobaras is a fearsome political opponent with a silver tongue and the wealth to back up his position.

Luckily for all the people of Magnimar, Grobaras' assistant, a man named Valanni Krinst, censors and vetoes many of his superior's more absurd mandates, despite this being a highly illegal act.
