Hanne Weisspeer (born 568 CY)

daughter of Karenin Weisspeer

In 591 CY, unsubstantiated rumours suggested that Hanne Weisspeer, the eldest daughter of Voormann Karenin, may have had political aspirations of her own. Despite her youth, Hanne was known to have assisted her father in the past, and a protege of her uncle Hasten, the Voormann's younger brother and acting Pfalzgraf of the Weisspeer clan. Known to be a skilled bard, Hanne was noted for her charm, intelligence and learning: in addition to her skills as a diplomat, she was well versed in the nation's history.

When asked in 592 CY about her opinion of the forthcoming election, Hanne apparently had the following to say. "I think it unwise to judge affairs as this early time. What I will say is that there must be a good relationship between the Voormann and the Cantonal Council. Without an agreement between all parties in the council there can be no confidence in their ability to govern, and sadly it seems that there are issues in the current state that need resolving. Whether matters have progressed beyond repair remains to be seen."

One scurrolous piece of gossip that made the rounds was of romance between Hanne and Karl Hussen. These started after the young lady was seen keeping company with Karl in Yatilsskaad, before he was outlawed. Despite suggestions that their meeting might indicate an alliance between the two clans, it appears that the truth is far darker: Hanne went missing in 592 CY, and in 593 CY it was discovered that Karl Hussen had kidnapped her. Hanne was rescued shortly before her father's re-election as Voormann, then kidnapped again, and finally rescued (for the last time) before the end of 593 CY, shortly before giving birth to a child. She now resides in Riberlund in the household of Pfalzgraf Karla Hussen, Karl's mother.
