but this mount anxieties, as people struggle to adjust - so this new sheogorath create two man-size straw dolls to take seats of duchy. stewards would then take care of duties, under order of respective duchy.
there is debate whether these dolls truly animate people, or mere objects for stewards to hide behind. that said, occasionally, people will come across scenes which would be impossible unless duchy truly animate...
might stewards be responsible for all of these incidents, and simply black out? or is there life in these dolls after all?
maybe not even sheogorath is sure.
for all intents and purposes, amnis is genderfluid - may at any time be duke, duchess, both, or neither.
amnis gain reputation as obsessive artist, often so wrap up in artwork as to neglect necessities like sleep or food.
public appearance is very rare, and often fail to show up to events which personally plan. even when amnis is present, always seem to have head up in clouds, either unable or unwilling to answer questions.
occasionally, artworks of amnis leave palace walls, whether by thievery and sabotage or intentional exhibition. most of this artwork is abstract, at times even rorschach-esque.
beyond artistry, not much is known about amnis.
for all intents and purposes, mentris is genderfluid - may at any time be duke, duchess, both, or neither.
mentris gain reputation as depressive hermit, who will happily sleep or meditate for apparently days on end.
public appearance is very rare, and almost never show up to events. even when mentris appear, will be unresponsive and let others take charge, apparently unable to hold faith that anyone respect or view as authority.
not much seem to bring mentris joy, but stewards over years report minor success with card games and cat's cradle.
not much else is known about mentris, due to isolation.
