High Priestess Corianna

Hera, Mother of the Gods, deity of women, family, and childbirth, occasionally selects a chosen few women to be the embodiment of everything she represents: confident femininity, lasting marriage, and motherhood. For every child they bare inside of wedlock, the goddess extends her life for 7 years. As such, these chosen, called Matrons, usually live very long lives, and have numerous marriages, all usually ending with the death of the husband by way of old age.

High Priestess Corianna is one such example of a Matron of Hera. She runs the temple of Hera at the center of Pompeii. She is a tall human woman, with long locks of red hair, deep green eyes, and a slender physique, appearing to be in her late 20's. Her actual age is 692. She has had 99 children from 17 different marriages. She has lived through the Empire's discovery of the Nords as well as their eventual Great War. Corianna has been a part of the city's leadership for as long as anyone can remember. She has never looked a day over 30 in all that time. About half of the acolytes in the temple are her daughters and some of the guards of the town are her sons. Corianna has 12 living children in total, the youngest aged 6, the eldest aged 71.
