=== Information ===
'''Carnival of Light Mistress'''

Mistress Maria is one of the talented mystics who serve as leaders of the Praetorian [[Carnival of Light]], and is one of Vanessa DeVore's most trusted friends. As such, when Vanessa needed to send one of her people to Primal Earth to recruit prospective assistance in [[First Ward]], Maria was at the top of the list. She now stands vigil along the cliffs of New Corinth, maintaining the link to Praetoria while awaiting the arrival of those willing to aid the Carnival in First Ward.
