Nandus

Adept Nandus — "one of the partners in one of the larger firms, one responsible for shipbuilding and maintenance in Farise. There's an awful lot of enchantment that goes into building a good ship and keeping it running, apparently — and a lot of money. His family firm had been handling the trade for over a century." Wealthy, lives in Heron Hill District, "considered one of the wealthier magi in town." Chair of the Electors' Executive Committee during the Doge selection process.

At the Congress:

Each of your committees needs to meet at least twice before next week. Within two weeks, you should have made significant progress. In three weeks we will be holding another general meeting to vote on the proposals from each committee. I urge you all to complete your assignments in a timely manner, else we risk losing the political moment for this opportunity.

Sets the final Congress meeting date to select the Doge candidates. Cordial to Minalan/Mirkandar but largely ignores him:

Adept Nandus was cordial to me, and was clearly intrigued by the novelty of my inclusion on the committee, but after a friendly greeting he mostly ignored me.
