Kubileya (pronounced coo-bill-AY-ah) is the current Speaker for the Roots in Xelas. As Speaker, Kubileya is responsible for protecting the city, organizing the Rootguard, and aiding Anlabban in his vigil. Before her election as Speaker in Y9965*, Kubileya had served as a member of the Rootguard for the previous fourteen years.
For reasons that are known only to the arboreal, Anlabban has taken a particular liking to Kubileya, and she is one of the few that have held the position of Speaker that he enjoys conversing with. For her part, Kubileya is very protective of Anlabban, and the Rootguard has instituted increasingly higher standards of its members since she took the role of Speaker.
Kubileya was born in Xelas and has lived in the city for most of her life, although she traveled Brightmarch widely in her youth before returning. While Kubileya's sometimes brusque mannerisms can be off-putting to those who are not already acquainted with her, she cares deeply about the people of Xelas, even if this is not always outwardly visible.
