Voreyn Zahir Appointed Duchess Zahir

PALACE DISTRICT - His Grace the Crown Regent Zolor Zahir I today announced that he would finally move beyond his role as acting Patriarch of House Zahir and appoint a new Duchess in his steed. This will allow the Regent to move beyond House Politics much like the Prince of the Blood has done, leaving House Politics to those who do not hold positions of Crown or Rotal Sovereignty

The Crown Regent has named Voreyn Zahir as the new Duchess of House Zahir, throwing his considerable political support behind her to prevent any upstarts from attempting to seize the position themselves, for whatever reason.

As such, it is unknown as to how much support Duchess Voreyn has within her own House, but given the highly cut-throat nature of Zahir politics, it is likely to be a generally trivial point. If there are any who harbor complaints about the Zahirian electorate process, they will be voiced by cloak and dagger.

As for the Duchess herself, political pundits cite Voreyn Zahir as a potential wildcard, and no one seems really sure what to expect - much to House Zahir's pleasure, no doubt.
