Ripov (pronounced RIGH-pov) is one of Pliver's generals, a high-ranking position in the "empire" that bears its leader's name. Unlike nearly all of Pliver's other generals, Ripov was not previously a tribal chief before being granted her current position. She arrived in the region in Y9964* from somewhere across the Chaska Sea. The stories she tells of her past vary, but always involve claims that she was a part of the nobility or upper classes of some far away place.
