Duchenel

Count Duchenin was the father of Loran Duchenin and a count of Thu-Cethor.

Life
Duchenel had at least two daughters, the second of whom was Loran. She attempted to become Maia Drazhar's empress.

When the Corazhas convened to select Maia's empress, Csevet Aisava presented "Maia's" final choices: Paru Tethimin, Loran, and Csethiro Ceredin. Uleris Chavar argued in favor of Loran, with the Witness for the Prelacy supporting him, but Csethiro had overwhelming support, and was ultimately chosen.

Trivia

 * Since Loran was Uleris' niece through Uleris' mother's line, it's possible her mother/Duchenel's partner was Uleris' sister or cousin.
