Life
Hometown: Werifestra, the winding river town
Werifestra is a rather large town— a few more successful generations and it might just become a city —one that produces a large amount of foodstuff for the Crystalline Dominion. River fish, rice, and leafy vegetables are the main exports, though onions, potatoes, and wild berries grow in abundance as well. The Lord of Werifestra takes great care of his lands and people, though he isn't without secrets. While the commoners and minor nobility enjoy their relative safety, they're a hardworking bunch, hardy and tough, and take great pride in being among the main producers for the Crystalline Dominion.

Miscellaneous
Minor spoilers for Brando Sando's Mistborn era 1 below.
Like the nobles on Scadriel who would purposefully expose and abuse their children in order for them to 'snap', Lord Werifesteria fathers as many children as he can in an attempt to produce blessed children. In his eyes this an honorable pursuit; Werifestra gains protectors and purifiers, the Order of the Crystal and potentially, the Luminary Council, gains new members, and his line will "forever" influence those upon Ethrys.
One tiny little problem, however:
Lady Werifesteria.
For all intents and purposes, the match was strong, unexpectedly so— and beneficial in the long run. It secured allegiance with another great house who specialized in trade and transportation of goods across the Dominion. Together, they control a decent amount of trade and profit greatly in tariffs, licenses, and subsidies— due to the merging of these two major houses they have much sway within the Luminaries and the Order, provided cards are played right.
Lady Osana Werifesteria plays a key role in these political maneuvers. In fact, she's absolutely integral to them— except she was born with an illness that keeps her flush, fevered, and weak. She is bedridden half of the time and unable to bear any sound or light. When she was younger, the healings performed by Liferender's lasted longer and left her robust. As she grows older, however, they've become triweekly visits to simply alleviate pain and fatigue. Still, her mind is as sharp as her failing body.
And so Osana concocted a tolerable solution to her husband's incessant desire for blessed children.
The contract states:
- That each dalliance must be consensual, with a woman over the age of twenty, who is in full awareness of what this contract states. Additionally, before and after each visit, a Liferender will cleanse away impurities from both parties to ensure cleanliness.
- That under no circumstances may a dalliance occur with an indentured servant. If Lord Werifesteria deigns to dally with an indentured servant, all of her debts must be paid by Lord Werifesteria's currently generated funds, up front and in totality.
- There may be no more than four suitors within a year and no more than one suitor at a time. Additionally, every three years Lord Werifesteria will cease current and future dalliances in the attempt to father a true-born heir.
- No more than three blessed children may be born from any one suitor and no more than five children in total.
- All fathered children will be fed and cared for with Lord Werifesteria's currently generated funds and connections in totality until their maturity, even if they aren't blessed.
- Mothers of blessed children will receive a modest monthly tithe until their children reach their maturity. This can be paid in full, if the suitor decides to give up their maternal rights, of which they have up to five years to decide upon, and knows conditionally, that if done so, blessed children will be legally and officially adopted by Lady Werifesteria.
- Children whose mother's die in childbirth will be legally adopted by Lord and Lady Werifesteria, regardless of their status.
- No child born outside of the legal Werifesteria marriage may be considered the Heir Apparant of Werifestra unless directly appointed by Lady Werifesteria, who deigns to immediately and irrevocably null and void any appointment made prior to the birth of any true-born children, regardless of gender, and under any circumstance that which may call for such a decision.
- All blessed children will receive a monthly allowance, half of which will be put into savings to be delivered in full upon their maturity, provided they help Werifestra and the Crystalline Dominion in some capacity, regardless of whether or not they're raised by the Lord and Lady Werifesteria or their birth mother.
- While the Lady Werifesteria understands talk is cheap, any and all dalliances will cease posthaste under intense scrutiny from the Order of the Crystal, the Luminary Council, or any of the established noble houses
