Bast

Bast, the Grey Lady, was one of the greatest paladins of Jay and Acacia. When the founders of Plort departed, she became one of the Triumvirate that ruled in their stead.

Never much concerned with rule, the Grey Lady appointed Leto as a baron over the people of her domains. This appointment was emulated by Cam when she instituted the baronial system, and when Bast departed, last of the Triumvirate, she formulated the Edict of Bast and founded the current baronial system.
