Cyrus Drake is the judge, jury, and executioner of the Nalatheshi town of Lonerock. Lonerock is a small town on the southeast border of Nalathesh, overlooking the Great Chasm a couple days’ ride south of Bridgemoor.


Cyrus’s total authority in the town would be cause for tremendous social outcry if he were not so level-headed and even-handed. As it is, the small town looks to him as a tremendous leader and he is widely respected and accepted throughout his entire community.

==== '''Cyrus and Aridalan Nobles''' ====
Just as Lonerock has an outsized influence on Nalathesh’s economy thanks to its mines, Cyrus Drake has an outsized reputation with the nobles of Aridala, the capital of the country. Cyrus is quite vocal about his beliefs in the Celestial Council and his dedication to Judesaril in particular. This has obviously led [[Godking]] Neferu to take severe issue with Cyrus. However, thanks to Cyrus’s massive popularity with his community and his success with Lonerock’s mining industry, Neferu is not willing to risk having Cyrus deposed at the moment. Furthermore, the Luxxors publicly support Cyrus’s leadership and commend him frequently, further preventing Neferu from doing anything untoward.
