Wise and virtuous queen of Viranatu, most of her expertise at ruling is just having a very, very long list of mistakes that she knows enough not to make. Is not a great single mom to her spoiled teenage daughter because she's too busy dying. Probably the most powerful combatant in the setting.

Deserves better from her author.

What makes heroic strife famed afar, famed afar?
What makes heroic strife famed afar?
What makes heroic strife, to whet the assassin's knife
Or hunt a parent's life with bloody war, bloody war
Or hunt a parent's life with bloody war
- "Ye Jacobites By Name," Robert Burns.
