Lady Baireschild was a noblewoman ruling a holding on the far western edge of Valdemar about 400 years before the time of Herald-Mage Vanyel. Her son, Herald Vess, gave up his position as her heir when he was Chosen.
Given her name, the location of her holding, and the fact that Mage-Gift runs in the family, she was probably related to the ruling family of Baires.
