A thaumaturge is a person of power in the Lunar government. They are are also leaders in the Queen's army with each one in charge of 6-15 soldiers. They do not fight unless the situation calls for it, but they excel at doing so as they typically direct soldiers. They are known for being very attractive without the use of glamour. Dr. Erland states that being naturally attractive is a requirement as Levana prefers them that way.
Uniform[]
Their uniform consists of a high-collared long coat that flares at the waist with long, bell-shaped sleeves. Gold-embroidered runes & hieroglyphs sparkle along the hems.[1]
Colors typically vary: the head thaumaturge's coat is white; the second-highest rank is red; and the lowest rank is black.
