Miss Macon

Home: Brown's Ferry, in "The Macon House", which seems to have powerful magic worked into its structure.

How we met her: Jake took us to meet her at the start of Episode Three.

Miss Macon was a member of the Frontier Council, and often referred to as "The Uncrowned Queen of the South". She is a beautiful woman who appears to be in her 70's.

Miss Macon was witnessed "working magic" by Faolan and Tanner, when she managed to refill their wine glasses from across the room with a wave of her hand.

She bears some physical resemblance to her grandaughter Ahnah and her daughter Anne, Queen Regent of Anglia.

It is through Miss Macon that Our Heroes came to work with Ahnah and become involved in the politics of the larger world.

In Episode 7 Our Heroes learned that Miss Macon was killed five years before they ever met her (!?), at the Treachery on the Brown.

They have only met with her by passing through a Rug Bazaar, then down into a tunnel and passing under the Council House. They then wait for an unmeasurable amount of time in a comfortable foyer, where they are always provided high-quality alcoholic refreshment. Eventually they are led onto a veranda that overlooks the Brown River, always at sunset.

At the Funeral on the Brown the 'ghost' of John Brown asked Faolan about the veranda at sunset.

It seems that Miss Macon was in fact a powerful mage - a fact unknown to most people. Her physical body died at the Treachery, but clearly some aspect of her lives on and attempts to guide affairs, both North and South.

As she said during Episode 7 with a touch of irony and a patrician drawl, "There's dying, and then there's dying."
