The First of Mayene is the title given to the ruler of the city-state of Mayene. The title was originally ceremonial and given the full title "First Lord"' or "First Lady." The title was created in FY 1004 and given to a man claiming to be Tyrn sur Paendrag Mashera, the son of Laiwynde sur Paendrag and grandson of Artur Hawkwing, who has sought refuge in Mayene after an assassination attempt. Tyrn's claims were not recognized outside of Mayene, but within the city he was regarded as a symbol of Mayene's independence during the War of the Hundred Years and given the title First Lord as a ceremonial and figurehead position.
