The job description of a Voice is to monitor and manipulate the actions of the Shyr'Pays subjects, the Pawns, with the help of a BLImp. Since most Pawns got the BLImp implanted against their will, the Voices have a very difficult position: they have to calm down the Pawn and later on establish a working relationship to ensure the Pawn's co-operation.
    In the Shyr'Pays society, a Voice is a highly respected person.
