==Physical Characteristics==

==Physical Characteristics==
Blunted chin and gray eyes like pearls. Vasiht'h thought he looked like the Mathanith family, but the features blurred enough to be a tenant, rather than ruling family. Speaks in a baritone register. <ref name="hs-05">''[[Heartskein (Fiction) | Heartskein]]'', Chapter 5</ref> He's solid, for an Eldritch, and a little shorter than average, but no one notices because he carries himself well. Very likely the son of a noble Mathanith who never claimed him.

A White Sword chosen by Val for Hirianthial as one of a handful of temporary bodyguards, he becomes the captain of Jahir's permanent personal retinue. He suggests to Jahir that he and the other members of his personal retinue train abroad in order to better serve in that role.

He is primarily a swordsman, and often led training when he was a Sword.

Vera is a [[Harat-Shar]] lieutenant on the [[UAV Diamondwing]].

==Physical Characteristics==
Vera is a leopard-patterend pardine with a sleek and dangerous appearance. She has golden eyes, perfect grooming, an athletic body due to regular workouts, and a short bob, "the edges of which were so perfectly cut they looked machined."<ref name="leadership">"[[Leadership Lessons (Fiction) |Leadership Lessons]]"</ref>

==Recent History==

Vera was [[Alysha Forrest]]'s superior officer on the Diamondwing; she herself answered to [[Terrell Shirrelberry]]. Alysha knew her as a combination of Harat-Shar stereotypes--a flirt, a joker, brazening her way through things--but also as a woman with a strong work ethic, sharp eye, and sharper mind. During the 25-year observance of the induction of the [[Phoenix]] into the [[Alliance]], she chose Ensign Forrest as her second for the ceremonial detail. Unfortunately, she discovered a debilitating phobia of heights, and Forrest stepped in. She later sought phobia-desensitization treatment at Medplex.<ref name="leadership" />

==Quotes==
* "I think it’s admirable, you know, and I see you’ve taken your duty to develop and protect your peers and your specialists seriously, but you can’t be so busy with other people that you fail to put yourself in front of the superiors who would promote you."<ref name="leadership" />

* "Such a great tail on him. It’s too bad I’m not interested."<ref name="leadership" />

* "It’s a heavy burden. Being smart and funny. But we who are so endowed must labor on, bringing laughter and enlightenment to our coworkers."<ref name="leadership" />

* "If you want some career advice, Ensign, you’ll change that. Risk taking is an important part of advancement. Just like watching out for your peers. Which you already seem to have well in hand."<ref name="leadership" />

Queen Ransomed

2022-03-29T02:21:39Z

63.155.45.212: /* Known Shapes */

[[File:queenransomed.png|300px|thumb|right|The Queen]]

Formerly know as the Slave Queen, the most exalted and most debased female in the Empire. The granddaughter of the Chatcaavan Emperor prior to Kauvauc.

==Physical==
The Queen has slender, graceful limbs, with skin a deep pewter that shades to pearly gray over her stomach and throat. Her mane is dark. Unlike four-armed females, she lacks breasts. Prior to her ability to modify her own body, her wings were cut into patterns: scalloped edges and decorative cuts and incisions that rendered her incapable of flying. Her collar is silver set with amber cabochons.<ref name="etw-01" /> Orange eyes, "all fire-reds and outrageous yellows." <ref name="fc-09">''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) |Farmer's Crown]]'', Chapter 9</ref> She is thirty-seven revolutions (years of the [[Throneworld]]) old at the time of [[Lisinthir Nase Galare]]'s tenure as Ambassador.<ref name="etw-01" />

===Known Shapes===

* Karaka'An (gray striped with long claws) - obtained from one of her grandsire's slaves<ref name="etw-01">''[[Even the Wingless (Fiction) |Even the Wingless]]'', Part One</ref>
* Human (orange-eyed with dark hair) - obtained from one of her grandsire's slaves<ref name="etw-01" />
* Eldritch (orange-eyed) - obtained from [[Lisinthir Nase Galare]]<ref name="etw-01" />
** In her Eldritch form, the Queen bears a strong resemblance to [[Liolesa Galare]]'s relatives<ref name="etw-01" /> and is almost tall enough for her head to be level with Sediryl's <ref name="hw-17">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) |Healer's Wedding]]'', Chapter 17</ref>

[[File:Illo-QueenRansomedShapes.jpg|300px|thumb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRsjafujrz8|right|The Queen and her first shapes, at the time of Even the Wingless]]

In [[In Extremis (Fiction)]] Kindle page 2698 of 5889 and forward, she takes these shapes: Phoenix (See quote below), (kindle page 3585 of 5889) Malarai. (Next page) Aera, Glaseah

Quote: The Queen rested her palm on the Phoenix's naked abdomen and fell forward into the Touch, into the sweet and poignant knowing that drove deep and subsumed completely. If she felt it obscene that something so private and holy should be witnessed by thugs and enabled by pirates and Changed in the arms of the female who'd called her sister, and heard the Eldritch suck uin a shocked breath and shudder.

*"By the third new shape, the Queen's skin felt odd to her, even in her normal body. She paced her quarters, mutilatged wings hunched against her back, and chafed her arms. Her skin didn't peal off, but she kept hoping it would... that if she rubbed hard enough she would reach the tingling underneath. She'd once suffered a partial Touch, and thjis sensation reminded her of that feeling, but without its urgency. She did not feel sick. Just... strange. Uncomfortable.

It had never occurred to her to wonder if there were diseases of the Touch and Change. Could too much Change destroy? Would she forget her natural shape? Was there a limit to the number of patterns a Chatcaavan could learn and remain sane?"
"Every time the Queen took a pattern she seemed more disoriented. (kindle page 3614 of 5889, a continuation of the start above)

Kindle page 4620 of 4889, Chapter 19. K says: "So I've had all the remaining species brought!" ... "We can wait an hour or two between each, if we really want to."

Another centauroid, tall.

The queen can sense that all the Pelted were engineered and had a common ancestry.

A Faulfenza.

...She'd made her way around the circle to the last alien and consumed that final pattern. (All the shapes on fire in her.)

A water alien, Naysha.
...and the Queen R goes into a coma.

The queen is presumed to have taken the Guardkin's shape in Scions' Flight though I can not find where in the text that happened.

So presumed missing:
** [[Akubi]], [[Crystal People]], [[Flitzbe]], [[Octopi]], [[Platies]], [[Small Ones]]
** [[Gorn]], [[Sirelanders]]
** Dinosaurs or natives on Birdsong ([[To Discover and Preserve (Fiction)]] )
** creators of world killers/destroyers found on Birdsong
** The presumed inhabitants of ten dead worlds,

==Biography==
===Prior to the Ambassador's Arrival===
As a child, she practiced the Touch and the Change on her grandsire's slaves, obtaining both a human and Karaka'An shape, though at the time she didn't know their names. She told no one about this, but her dam saw her Change once and beat her for it. When her grandsire was defeated by the [[Emperor Kauvauc Ueneuvin |Emperor]], she was captured and brought to the [[Throneworld Court]] as a prize, to become his Slave Queen, the most exalted and most debased of all females. She served as Queen for twenty-five years before the arrival of [[Lisinthir Nase Galare]] as Alliance Ambassador ad'Chatcaava.<ref name="etw-01" />

The Queen was aware of Chatcaavan history and customs dating back before the Empire was one of despotism and slavery.<ref name="etw-02" />

===During the Chatcaavan War===

==== Even the Wingless ====

As of the arrival of Lisinthir, the Queen was in a uniquely rarefied position: the most exalted and most debased female. She had a comparatively private space and a few duties of her own (including bringing slaves to the [[Throneworld Court Palace#Preparation Room |preparation room]] to be decorated and collared, and giving permission for females in the harem to attempt to conceive). She had an alien slave who attended to her: [[Laniis Baker]], who she named Khaska after ancient Chatcaavan bellringers, because Laniis was distressed at being called "Slave." She was also protected from the attentions of most other males and from humiliating public use, though not because she was valued as a person, but because she was the Emperor's private possession and he was reluctant to share. For the most part, the only of those given frequent freedom of her tower were the Emperor and [[Second-Who-Was |Second]], and Second was usually gentle with her, requiring little more than bathing and wing-oiling. Nevertheless, her despair was only muted by the fact that she had never imagined freedom or personhood for herself and so did not miss it.<ref name="etw-01" /><ref name="etw-02" />

The Queen's first, life-changing encounter with Ambassador Lisinthir was at his introduction to the court, which—due to the machinations of [[Third-Who-Was |Third]] and his [[Baavo (Hand) |Baavo]], along with the Emperor himself—also included the presence of three new alien slaves: a [[Unnamed Characters#Alien Slaves of the Emperor |Malarai and Tam-illee]], and, notably, an [[Eldritch]] like Lisinthir: [[Bethsaida Emil Galare]], who the Queen did not yet know was the heir of the Eldritch queen. She noted Laniis's dismay as the new ambassador seemed indifferent to her plight and the plight of the new slaves. The Queen and Laniis told the new slaves that they were unable to do anything for them, and thus oversaw the rapid deterioration in Bethsaida, as she suffered from receiving too many violent and lascivious touches, and quickly became first ill and then unresponsive.<ref name="etw-01" />

Lisinthir's indifference (having never been true) did not last, as Lisinthir quickly requested permission to be able to visit the Queen, and the Emperor, amused, permitted it. Lisinthir used the time to assess Bethsaida's health and slowly begin to convince the Queen of her agency. This led to many additional effects: an increasing sense of restlessness and a desire to learn Laniis's real name and then her language among them. Ultimately the Queen and Laniis felt able to assist with a rescue operation. The plan required the Queen to take an Eldritch pattern to mimic Bethsaida during her 'presentation' and public rape, but Bethsaida, already traumatized from being handled by the Chatcaava, could not bear her touch for long enough for the Touch to succeed. Lisinthir instead provided the Pattern for her, and she stood in Bethsaida's stead, to be publicly raped and tortured by the Emperor while in an Eldritch form, as Bethsaida, Laniis, and the two other slaves escaped, though Laniis expressed sorrow at leaving her behind. In the aftermath, the Queen decided to ask Lisinthir to tell her more of [[Universal]], the language Laniis had begun teaching her, and about his home.<ref name="etw-01" />

As Lisinthir rose in favor, the Queen counseled him on the ways that he would be challenged and tested by other males--most especially the Emperor. He came to her after he had been raped by the Emperor, and she called for the [[Sehkvit (The Surgeon) |Surgeon]] to heal the honor wounds. Second also came to her, and shocked her by seeking information from her about Lisinthir; he spoke to her as if she knew things that were useful, which was a foreign and unsettling thing. Lisinthir continued to visit her every morning even as he was assaulted on a regular basis, and while he taught her Universal and told her about his people and how to think as they did, she continued to advise him. He, too, unsettled her by indicating that he was lifting the Veil for her because he trusted her, and that he was incapable of ceasing to see her as a person. She was further unnerved as the Emperor began to seek her without agitation or anger, content with "trivial obeisance," though he did still leave her bound in an uncomfortable pose for a full night.<ref name="etw-02" />

During the [[Emerald (Mother) |Mother]]'s nearly-disastrous labor, the Queen aided Lisinthir in calling for the Surgeon, who normally did not treat females. After Lisinthir succeeded in convincing him, and the Mother was saved along with her newborn son, the harem warmed to the Queen and invited her to stay, crediting her with the Mother's survival. Later, Second came to her in agitation, and while she oiled his wings, she heard him discussing getting rid of Lisinthir with Third. She feared for Lisinthir, a fear borne out when Lisinthir informed her of Second's attempt at poisoning him. The Queen informed Lisinthir about the potential of using small doses of hekkret to build up immunity, and provided him his first rolls.<ref name="etw-02" />

The Emperor came to ask her about Lisinthir, and she acknowledged that he came to visit her every day, but only to talk, and the Emperor left without hurting her, puzzling and worrying her, as an "Emperor who could talk to her, consider her, and then leave her without marking her... was a stranger." Later, while she was taking breakfast with Lisinthir, Second attempted to send him off so that the Queen could serve him; Lisinthir refused, saying that her mornings were his. Later, prompted by a complaint by Second, the Emperor visited Lisinthir and the Queen in the morning to confirm Second's report, and demanded that Lisinthir prove that he is a male by "making use" of the Queen; forced into a corner, and with the Queen's subtle encouragement, he did so in the gentlest way he could find. The Queen later told him that it had been pleasant for her to ease him. Later, when he came to her broken, she suggested that he could ease his torment by allowing the Emperor to sacrifice her; when he protested, she indicated that she had learned some of his lessons of love and sacrifice. Later, Second came to her enraged that she had been passing information to Lisinthir, and beat and raped her; it was the first time he had been violent to her. The Emperor later, again at Second's behest, came to her for more advice about Lisinthir; he did not hurt her, and acknowledged that he himself, like the Queen, was enthralled with the Ambassador.<ref name="etw-02" />

Shortly thereafter, Third and his Hand arrived with more slaves--[[Unnamed Characters#Alien Slaves of the Emperor |sixteen in all, both Pelted and human]]. The Queen, using her new mastery of Universal, explained their situation, warned them against violence or escape attempts, and sent them to the Preparation Room. After their presentation, she further explained that the Ambassador was not complacent, but had to play to the politics of the Court if he was to have any hope of success in having them freed.<ref name="etw-02" />

When she heard that the Emperor and Lisinthir had seriously injured each other, she left the Tower despite this being forbidden to her, and was escorted to the clinic to see them. She was then present when he sent Third's newly-acquired slaves back. When Third and his Hand arrived to take out their frustrations on the Imperial Harem--and Third threatened to rape the Queen herself, despite that being expressly forbidden except at the Emperor's word--she, for the first time, was successful in driving him away, and he hurt neither her not any other harem members.<ref name="etw-02" />

For a few days after Third's death, the Queen, Lisinthir, and the Emperor stayed together in her suite, having sex, both violent and not. Shortly after that, Lisinthir returned to show her messages of thanks from the slaves they had freed: a long one from Laniis, and more from others, including Bethsaida. However, the temporary peace was broken when Lisinthir came to her concerned that he had in fact convinced the Emperor to treat him as a male... and therefore, the Empire would treat the Alliance as a male to be broken, not a female to be largely ignored; she confirmed this, and they came up with a new plan.<ref name="etw-02" />

After Lisinthir convinced the Emperor to take his pattern and Change, their encounters shifted. The Emperor wanted to feel first the Queen's fear, and then to feel her suffering so he could know what it was to weep. Finally, he wanted to feel what Lisinthir had suffered through torture to see what that was like. The Queen asked permission to leave so as not to watch Lisinthir be tortured. After that, the Emperor treated her very differently: he had empathy for her and had no will to punish her even after learning that she had posed as Bethsaida, he renamed her Treasure, and the three spent days together in newfound trust and pleasure (and, for the Emperor and Lisinthir, challenge).<ref name="etw-02" />

Things finally came to a head with Second, and the Queen found Lisinthir very ill from poisoning by Second, and later learned that Second had challenged the Emperor. At the Emperor's behest, she fled to the clinic, where the Surgeon could shield her. Second was slain and the Emperor survived, and the Emperor sent Lisinthir away; she counseled him on the reasons why and said her goodbyes.

Queen Ransomed

2022-03-29T02:20:31Z

63.155.45.212: /* Known Shapes */

[[File:queenransomed.png|300px|thumb|right|The Queen]]

Formerly know as the Slave Queen, the most exalted and most debased female in the Empire. The granddaughter of the Chatcaavan Emperor prior to Kauvauc.

==Physical==
The Queen has slender, graceful limbs, with skin a deep pewter that shades to pearly gray over her stomach and throat. Her mane is dark. Unlike four-armed females, she lacks breasts. Prior to her ability to modify her own body, her wings were cut into patterns: scalloped edges and decorative cuts and incisions that rendered her incapable of flying. Her collar is silver set with amber cabochons.<ref name="etw-01" /> Orange eyes, "all fire-reds and outrageous yellows." <ref name="fc-09">''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) |Farmer's Crown]]'', Chapter 9</ref> She is thirty-seven revolutions (years of the [[Throneworld]]) old at the time of [[Lisinthir Nase Galare]]'s tenure as Ambassador.<ref name="etw-01" />

===Known Shapes===

* Karaka'An (gray striped with long claws) - obtained from one of her grandsire's slaves<ref name="etw-01">''[[Even the Wingless (Fiction) |Even the Wingless]]'', Part One</ref>
* Human (orange-eyed with dark hair) - obtained from one of her grandsire's slaves<ref name="etw-01" />
* Eldritch (orange-eyed) - obtained from [[Lisinthir Nase Galare]]<ref name="etw-01" />
** In her Eldritch form, the Queen bears a strong resemblance to [[Liolesa Galare]]'s relatives<ref name="etw-01" /> and is almost tall enough for her head to be level with Sediryl's <ref name="hw-17">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) |Healer's Wedding]]'', Chapter 17</ref>

[[File:Illo-QueenRansomedShapes.jpg|300px|thumb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRsjafujrz8|right|The Queen and her first shapes, at the time of Even the Wingless]]

In [[In Extremis (Fiction)]] Kindle page 2698 of 5889 and forward, she takes these shapes: Phoenix (See quote below), (kindle page 3585 of 5889) Malarai. (Next page) Aera, Glaseah

Quote: The Queen rested her palm on the Phoenix's naked abdomen and fell forward into the Touch, into the sweet and poignant knowing that drove deep and subsumed completely. If she felt it obscene that something so private and holy should be witnessed by thugs and enabled by pirates and Changed in the arms of the female who'd called her sister, and heard the Eldritch suck uin a shocked breath and shudder.

*"By the third new shape, the Queen's skin felt odd to her, even in her normal body. She paced her quarters, mutilatged wings hunched against her back, and chafed her arms. Her skin didn't peal off, but she kept hoping it would... that if she rubbed hard enough she would reach the tingling underneath. She'd once suffered a partial Touch, and thjis sensation reminded her of that feeling, but without its urgency. She did not feel sick. Just... strange. Uncomfortable.

It had never occurred to her to wonder if there were diseases of the Touch and Change. Could too much Change destroy? Would she forget her natural shape? Was there a limit to the number of patterns a Chatcaavan could learn and remain sane?"
"Every time the Queen took a pattern she seemed more disoriented. (kindle page 3614 of 5889, a continuation of the start above)

Kindle page 4620 of 4889, Chapter 19. K says: "So I've had all the remaining species brought!" ... "We can wait an hour or two between each, if we really want to."

Another centauroid, tall.

The queen can sense that all the Pelted were engineered and had a common ancestry.

A Faulfenza.

...She'd made her way around the circle to the last alien and consumed that final pattern. (All the shapes on fire in her.)

A water alien, Naysha.
...and the Queen R goes into a coma.

The queen is presumed to have taken the Guardkin's shape in Scions' Flight though I can not find where in the text that happened.

So presumed missing:

** [[Gorn]], [[Sirelanders]]
** Dinosaurs or natives on Birdsong ([[To Discover and Preserve (Fiction)]] )

** The presumed inhabitants of ten dead worlds,

==Biography==
===Prior to the Ambassador's Arrival===
As a child, she practiced the Touch and the Change on her grandsire's slaves, obtaining both a human and Karaka'An shape, though at the time she didn't know their names. She told no one about this, but her dam saw her Change once and beat her for it. When her grandsire was defeated by the [[Emperor Kauvauc Ueneuvin |Emperor]], she was captured and brought to the [[Throneworld Court]] as a prize, to become his Slave Queen, the most exalted and most debased of all females. She served as Queen for twenty-five years before the arrival of [[Lisinthir Nase Galare]] as Alliance Ambassador ad'Chatcaava.<ref name="etw-01" />

The Queen was aware of Chatcaavan history and customs dating back before the Empire was one of despotism and slavery.<ref name="etw-02" />

===During the Chatcaavan War===

==== Even the Wingless ====

As of the arrival of Lisinthir, the Queen was in a uniquely rarefied position: the most exalted and most debased female. She had a comparatively private space and a few duties of her own (including bringing slaves to the [[Throneworld Court Palace#Preparation Room |preparation room]] to be decorated and collared, and giving permission for females in the harem to attempt to conceive). She had an alien slave who attended to her: [[Laniis Baker]], who she named Khaska after ancient Chatcaavan bellringers, because Laniis was distressed at being called "Slave." She was also protected from the attentions of most other males and from humiliating public use, though not because she was valued as a person, but because she was the Emperor's private possession and he was reluctant to share. For the most part, the only of those given frequent freedom of her tower were the Emperor and [[Second-Who-Was |Second]], and Second was usually gentle with her, requiring little more than bathing and wing-oiling. Nevertheless, her despair was only muted by the fact that she had never imagined freedom or personhood for herself and so did not miss it.<ref name="etw-01" /><ref name="etw-02" />

The Queen's first, life-changing encounter with Ambassador Lisinthir was at his introduction to the court, which—due to the machinations of [[Third-Who-Was |Third]] and his [[Baavo (Hand) |Baavo]], along with the Emperor himself—also included the presence of three new alien slaves: a [[Unnamed Characters#Alien Slaves of the Emperor |Malarai and Tam-illee]], and, notably, an [[Eldritch]] like Lisinthir: [[Bethsaida Emil Galare]], who the Queen did not yet know was the heir of the Eldritch queen. She noted Laniis's dismay as the new ambassador seemed indifferent to her plight and the plight of the new slaves. The Queen and Laniis told the new slaves that they were unable to do anything for them, and thus oversaw the rapid deterioration in Bethsaida, as she suffered from receiving too many violent and lascivious touches, and quickly became first ill and then unresponsive.<ref name="etw-01" />

Lisinthir's indifference (having never been true) did not last, as Lisinthir quickly requested permission to be able to visit the Queen, and the Emperor, amused, permitted it. Lisinthir used the time to assess Bethsaida's health and slowly begin to convince the Queen of her agency. This led to many additional effects: an increasing sense of restlessness and a desire to learn Laniis's real name and then her language among them. Ultimately the Queen and Laniis felt able to assist with a rescue operation. The plan required the Queen to take an Eldritch pattern to mimic Bethsaida during her 'presentation' and public rape, but Bethsaida, already traumatized from being handled by the Chatcaava, could not bear her touch for long enough for the Touch to succeed. Lisinthir instead provided the Pattern for her, and she stood in Bethsaida's stead, to be publicly raped and tortured by the Emperor while in an Eldritch form, as Bethsaida, Laniis, and the two other slaves escaped, though Laniis expressed sorrow at leaving her behind. In the aftermath, the Queen decided to ask Lisinthir to tell her more of [[Universal]], the language Laniis had begun teaching her, and about his home.<ref name="etw-01" />

As Lisinthir rose in favor, the Queen counseled him on the ways that he would be challenged and tested by other males--most especially the Emperor. He came to her after he had been raped by the Emperor, and she called for the [[Sehkvit (The Surgeon) |Surgeon]] to heal the honor wounds. Second also came to her, and shocked her by seeking information from her about Lisinthir; he spoke to her as if she knew things that were useful, which was a foreign and unsettling thing. Lisinthir continued to visit her every morning even as he was assaulted on a regular basis, and while he taught her Universal and told her about his people and how to think as they did, she continued to advise him. He, too, unsettled her by indicating that he was lifting the Veil for her because he trusted her, and that he was incapable of ceasing to see her as a person. She was further unnerved as the Emperor began to seek her without agitation or anger, content with "trivial obeisance," though he did still leave her bound in an uncomfortable pose for a full night.<ref name="etw-02" />

During the [[Emerald (Mother) |Mother]]'s nearly-disastrous labor, the Queen aided Lisinthir in calling for the Surgeon, who normally did not treat females. After Lisinthir succeeded in convincing him, and the Mother was saved along with her newborn son, the harem warmed to the Queen and invited her to stay, crediting her with the Mother's survival. Later, Second came to her in agitation, and while she oiled his wings, she heard him discussing getting rid of Lisinthir with Third. She feared for Lisinthir, a fear borne out when Lisinthir informed her of Second's attempt at poisoning him. The Queen informed Lisinthir about the potential of using small doses of hekkret to build up immunity, and provided him his first rolls.<ref name="etw-02" />

The Emperor came to ask her about Lisinthir, and she acknowledged that he came to visit her every day, but only to talk, and the Emperor left without hurting her, puzzling and worrying her, as an "Emperor who could talk to her, consider her, and then leave her without marking her... was a stranger." Later, while she was taking breakfast with Lisinthir, Second attempted to send him off so that the Queen could serve him; Lisinthir refused, saying that her mornings were his. Later, prompted by a complaint by Second, the Emperor visited Lisinthir and the Queen in the morning to confirm Second's report, and demanded that Lisinthir prove that he is a male by "making use" of the Queen; forced into a corner, and with the Queen's subtle encouragement, he did so in the gentlest way he could find. The Queen later told him that it had been pleasant for her to ease him. Later, when he came to her broken, she suggested that he could ease his torment by allowing the Emperor to sacrifice her; when he protested, she indicated that she had learned some of his lessons of love and sacrifice. Later, Second came to her enraged that she had been passing information to Lisinthir, and beat and raped her; it was the first time he had been violent to her. The Emperor later, again at Second's behest, came to her for more advice about Lisinthir; he did not hurt her, and acknowledged that he himself, like the Queen, was enthralled with the Ambassador.<ref name="etw-02" />

Shortly thereafter, Third and his Hand arrived with more slaves--[[Unnamed Characters#Alien Slaves of the Emperor |sixteen in all, both Pelted and human]]. The Queen, using her new mastery of Universal, explained their situation, warned them against violence or escape attempts, and sent them to the Preparation Room. After their presentation, she further explained that the Ambassador was not complacent, but had to play to the politics of the Court if he was to have any hope of success in having them freed.<ref name="etw-02" />

When she heard that the Emperor and Lisinthir had seriously injured each other, she left the Tower despite this being forbidden to her, and was escorted to the clinic to see them. She was then present when he sent Third's newly-acquired slaves back. When Third and his Hand arrived to take out their frustrations on the Imperial Harem--and Third threatened to rape the Queen herself, despite that being expressly forbidden except at the Emperor's word--she, for the first time, was successful in driving him away, and he hurt neither her not any other harem members.<ref name="etw-02" />

For a few days after Third's death, the Queen, Lisinthir, and the Emperor stayed together in her suite, having sex, both violent and not. Shortly after that, Lisinthir returned to show her messages of thanks from the slaves they had freed: a long one from Laniis, and more from others, including Bethsaida. However, the temporary peace was broken when Lisinthir came to her concerned that he had in fact convinced the Emperor to treat him as a male... and therefore, the Empire would treat the Alliance as a male to be broken, not a female to be largely ignored; she confirmed this, and they came up with a new plan.<ref name="etw-02" />

After Lisinthir convinced the Emperor to take his pattern and Change, their encounters shifted. The Emperor wanted to feel first the Queen's fear, and then to feel her suffering so he could know what it was to weep. Finally, he wanted to feel what Lisinthir had suffered through torture to see what that was like. The Queen asked permission to leave so as not to watch Lisinthir be tortured. After that, the Emperor treated her very differently: he had empathy for her and had no will to punish her even after learning that she had posed as Bethsaida, he renamed her Treasure, and the three spent days together in newfound trust and pleasure (and, for the Emperor and Lisinthir, challenge).<ref name="etw-02" />

Things finally came to a head with Second, and the Queen found Lisinthir very ill from poisoning by Second, and later learned that Second had challenged the Emperor. At the Emperor's behest, she fled to the clinic, where the Surgeon could shield her. Second was slain and the Emperor survived, and the Emperor sent Lisinthir away; she counseled him on the reasons why and said her goodbyes. After, the Emperor asked her forgiveness, shocking her, and asked her to be the Queen Ransomed rather than the Slave Queen, his comfort as he was her protection; she asked him to see the sea.<ref name="etw-02" />

"Some things must be known before they can be missed," the Slave Queen said. "I have never known freedom, so how can I miss it?"<ref name="etw-01" />

"It is what I am for, Ambassador. I am a vessel. It is all I do, suffering."<ref name="etw-02" />

"As long as you are willing to bow your head to spare the pain of the worthless, you are no Chatcaavan. No matter what you feel when you are defending your life and honor. It is what moves you that makes you who you are." <ref name="etw-02">''[[Even the Wingless (Fiction) |Even the Wingless]]'', Part Two</ref>

"Perhaps what you have done here so far, the Alliance could do for the Empire. Perhaps if the Empire finds itself fighting a war it cannot easily win, it will remember its heart and become something greater than it is." -- to [[Lisinthir|the Ambassador]] <ref name="etw-02" />

"I drove Third away from the harem. And I left the Tower to see the Emperor in the clinic. I am... I am not what I was. But your stories could only suggest, Master. Only I could have effected the change in me."<ref name="etw-02" />

=== Amulet Rampant===

"I, too, am Outside, in a way. Females cannot partake of the world of power and agency of males, Surgeon. Some would say the Chatcaava have been lessened by that division. You, the other males who are Outside... how much more could you do if you did not have to live outside the world of males on the Inside? What could you accomplish freed from the necessity to maintain your neutrality? If you could choose sides, Surgeon... what an ally you would be! What amazing things you might do for the world you would choose to bring forth!" <ref name="ar-08">''[[Amulet Rampant (Fiction) |Amulet Rampant]]'', Chapter 8</ref>

"I'm afraid the revolution has already begun. I am just trying to keep it from killing everyone I care about." <ref name="ar-13">''[[Amulet Rampant (Fiction) |Amulet Rampant]]'', Chapter 13</ref>

=== Major Pieces ===

“Not every question needs an immediate answer. Not if you want the right one.” <ref name="mp-des-06">''[[Major Pieces (Fiction) |Major Pieces]]'', "Deserving," Chapter 6</ref>

=== Farmer's Crown ===

"You are the Gentle Guide, and I was the Slave Queen, and people think we are patient and passive and kind, and perhaps we are. If we were not, our angers and our griefs would turn us into far more terrible people than those who were born to power, and who are comfortable wielding it. To have a master is safer. For everyone else." <ref name="fc-02">''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) |Farmer's Crown]]'', Chapter 2</ref>

=== Quotes and Observations by Others ===

"Do not play the fool, Mistress. Not all power is shaped by talon and fang."
:::::—[[Moon (Character) |Moon]]<ref name="etw-02" />

"You never were an object," he said into her hair. "Even when you thought yourself powerless, you were changing the universe for the better. They tricked you into believing yourself no better than them."

Sediryl Nuera Galare

2022-03-28T04:12:40Z

63.155.45.212: /* Mind Powers */

[[File:Illo-SedirylHorse.jpg|350px|thumb|right|Sediryl]]

FIRE

==Appearance and Personality==
* Built upon the typical Eldritch lines (slender, white hair), but shorter than average. Probably about 5'10" based on her being a head shorter than Jahir (6'6")
* Orange eyes
* Prefers to dress in trousers, boots, blouse and horseback riding-style coats in browns and darker blues
* Voice is a soprano <ref name="mp-mo-02">''[[Major Pieces (Fiction) | Major Pieces]]'', "Moving Out", chapter 2</ref>
* Unbound, hair reaches below her knees, implied longer than Lisinthir's <ref name="hw-16">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction)|Healer's Wedding]]'', chapter 16</ref>

==Mind Powers==
Fire and mindblock
*Mindblock needs to be illustrated by a quote. So does fire.
*Mindblock: Outside the bedroom, Vasiht'h drifted to a halt, frowning. Never in all his life had he run into anything like what he'd sensed trying to reach for Sediryl's thoughts. He'd been in and out of the heads of dozens of relatives, touched minds in passing with many Glaseahn strangers in his youth, and then of course there had been the mindline and his dreamwork with Jahir. People without esper abilities were the norm, but there minds were porous, not... not *armored*. That is what it reminded him of. As if there was a pressure inside her forcing everything out. <ref>[[In Extremis (Fiction) |In Extremis]], kindle page 2886 of 5889.</ref>

==Biography==
Was Nuera's heir. Got disinherited after going on an unauthorized-by-her-mom jaunt to the Alliance. Spent "some decades" <ref name="hw-01">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction)|Healer's Wedding]]'', chapter 1</ref> out there, earned a degree in agronomy, went to work in the fields. Got tapped by Amber because of her involvement with [[Whole Galactic Charities]] in his attempt to rehome the [[Chatcaava]] fleeing the coup; this led to her accepting Liolesa's offer to become Ambassador ad'Alliance for the Eldritch. (She still holds this position, as far as I know.) Briefly became a pirate queen; survived the war and married [[Jahir Seni Galare|Jahir]] and became Crown Princess.

==Family==
* Daughter of [[Thesali Nuera Galare]] and [[Haladir Delen Galare]]
* Wife of [[Jahir Seni Galare]]
* Mother of twins [[Adaise Galare| Adaise ]] and [[Raenor Galare| Raenor ]]

She was married to Jahir at the Seni manse, outside, by Liolesa and Val as officiating priestess and priest, in a traditional Eldritch ceremony (though the bride wore white, like a tenant, rather than her House colors). The troth cloth was blue fading to white at the center; on one side, an embroidered cluster of grape vines and rose blossoms for Sediryl, who had come from the most fertile of the Eldritch’s lands, and on the other, stars and a caduceus, for Jahir, who had gone offworld to learn to heal. In the pale center, a fireburst for them both, flowered mind-mages. <ref name="hw-20">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) | Healer's Wedding]],'' Chapter 20</ref>

She is supportive of all of her husband's relationships: "I would rather you ask this wife if she'd like to watch? But if you don't want me to, I'm not going to object, though I won't lie about being disappointed because the two of you are beautiful. [...] I love the way you look at him. And the way you look at Vasiht'h. And... it's nothing like how you look at me." <ref name="fr-23">''[[From Ruins (Fiction) | From Ruins]]'', chapter 23</ref>

[[File:Illo-SedirylCrown.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Sediryl During Farmer's Crown]]

==Quotes==
"Keep your enemies closer, ah?" 
"The closer they are, the easier they are to burn."
-''[[Maia]] and Sediryl''

"Is he taken, then?" - To Lisinthir, watching his reunion with Jahir. (To which Lisinthir replies that he's just "a friend with extravagant benefits.") <ref>''[[From Ruins (Fiction) | From Ruins]]'', chapter 21</ref>

"Goddess, is this how Liolesa sees everything? ‘Yes, that’s nice; also, politics.’" <ref>''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) | Farmer's Crown]]'', chapter 3</ref>

"All Eldritch are my people. That's the reason I had to come, and why I always will, unless Lord and Lady hold me back." <ref>''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) | Farmer's Crown]]'', chapter 10</ref>

"So many people hurt.So many people dead. So many people suffering, still in cages on the pirate base. Sediryl cried for them, and for the mess she'd made of an intolerable situation; she cried because there were no tidy solutions, because she couldn't see a universe where anyone could have avoided the mess of it. She cried because she felt she should have done better, and because there is not 'better' possible. All of her choices had been bad, and though her best had been enough (,) she would never stop blaming herself for it still being awful." <ref>'From Ruins' kindle page 229 of 492)</ref>

In the bathroom, Sediryl thought of the Queen's casual comment. *It afflicted the Ambassador Terribly. Being raped."* Tried to imagine her cousin Lisinthir, dangerous cousin Lisinthir who had emitted that effortless confidence and veiled aggression, being... raped? By whom? She grimaced and met her own eyes. "He survived," she whispered to herself. "I'll survive. Not only that, I'll *win*." <ref> In Extremis, kindle page 2919 of 5889</ref>

==Trivia==
* Enjoys eating and can eat even under stressful conditions
* Knows how to play cat's cradle, but hates to knit (she can, but badly)
* Knows how to drive various aircars, and enjoys it <ref>Farmer's Crown, Chapter 4</ref>
* Likes hibiscus tea: Hyera once painted her a picture with it, and then used the remainder as body paint on her.
* Does not like lavender-flavored baked goods. (Doesn't mind the smell, but eating it is "a bridge too far.") <ref name="hw-07">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction)|Healer's Wedding]]'' chapter 7</ref>
* Used to have dreams about being late when she was a girl <ref name="hw-20" />
* Sediryl often now says "Powers" (rather than "Goddess and Lord" like other female Eldritch). She's still unsure about her belief in any divinities, but this way she feels that both the Faulfenzair god and the Chatcaava's Living Air are included. <ref name="fc-22">''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) |Farmer's Crown]]'', chapter 22</ref>
* Did not come back from her investment vigil with anything notable.

===Body Language===
* Fidgets a lot
* Tilts her head when listening to a telegem

===Personal Accoutrements/Significant Possessions===
* An amulet rampant from Jahir and Lisinthir
* A troth ring from Jahir bearing the Galare unicorn
* A ring from the Queen Ransomed
* A solidigraph dog named Bells and Whistles, a gift from [[Hyera Amiri|Hyera]]
* A solidigraphic/holographic enhanced robot horse (noted as 'Glitterhorse'), solidigraphic, a gift from [[Hyera Amiri|Hyera]] see illo at top.

* [[Qora]] calls her "Princess" even when she isn't yet, the very first time they speak. <ref name="ie-10">''[[In Extremis (Fiction) |In Extremis]]'', chapter 10</ref>
* The [[Queen Ransomed]] calls her "sister", and refers to her as "my sister". <ref name="fc-23">for example ''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) |Farmer's Crown]]'', chapter 23</ref>
* [[Jahir]] calls her "my heart" or just "heart". <ref name="hw-02">for example ''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) |Healer's Wedding]]'', chapter 2</ref>
* [[Liolesa]] often calls her "niece". Also sometimes "Nuera", but that's mostly early on, before she's even the incipient heir.
* [[Jerent Mysfeldt]] is doubtless not alone in addressing her as "my lady". <ref name="hw-01" />
* [[Vasiht'h]] calls her "ariishir" by the time they're approaching the wedding. <ref name="hw-06">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) |Healer's Wedding]]'', chapter 6</ref>

What she calls people:
* In PG3, her monarch requests: "Cousin. Call me Liolesa." <ref name="ar-10">''[[Amulet Rampant (Fiction) |Amulet Rampant]]'', chapter 10</ref> Later on, Sediryl mostly addresses Liolesa as "aunt". <ref name="fr-24">for example ''[[From Ruins (Fiction) |From Ruins]]'', chapter 24</ref>
* She calls Vasiht'h "arii" when they first speak on the pirate base. <ref name="ie-10" /> She's also on "arii" terms with [[Reese]]. <ref name="hw-05">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) |Healer's Wedding]]'', chapter 5</ref>
* She often calls Jahir "love". <ref name="hw-02" />

Title:
* After putting the crowns on their heads, Liolesa presents them as "Sediryl Galare, the imperial heir, and her husband, the Prince-Consort Jahir Galare." They're inducted as mind-mages as "Healing Mage Jahir Galare, Prince-consort" and "Fire Mage Sediryl Galare, heir-imperial". <ref name="fc-25">''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) |Farmer's Crown]]'', chapter 25</ref> This implies that her title, such as it is, is "imperial heir" or "heir-imperial", but this will doubtless often get simplified to Princess.

Got tapped by Amber because of her involvement with [[Whole Galactic Charities]] in his attempt to rehome the [[Chatcaava]] fleeing the coup; this led to her accepting Liolesa's offer to become Ambassador ad'Alliance for the Eldritch. (She still holds this position, as far as I know.) Briefly became a pirate queen; survived the war and married [[Jahir Seni Galare|Jahir]] and became Crown Princess.

==Family==
* Daughter of [[Thesali Nuera Galare]] and [[Haladir Delen Galare]]
* Wife of [[Jahir Seni Galare]]
* Mother of twins [[Adaise Galare| Adaise ]] and [[Raenor Galare| Raenor ]]

She was married to Jahir at the Seni manse, outside, by Liolesa and Val as officiating priestess and priest, in a traditional Eldritch ceremony (though the bride wore white, like a tenant, rather than her House colors). The troth cloth was blue fading to white at the center; on one side, an embroidered cluster of grape vines and rose blossoms for Sediryl, who had come from the most fertile of the Eldritch’s lands, and on the other, stars and a caduceus, for Jahir, who had gone offworld to learn to heal. In the pale center, a fireburst for them both, flowered mind-mages. <ref name="hw-20">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) | Healer's Wedding]],'' Chapter 20</ref>

She is supportive of all of her husband's relationships: "I would rather you ask this wife if she'd like to watch? But if you don't want me to, I'm not going to object, though I won't lie about being disappointed because the two of you are beautiful. [...] I love the way you look at him. And the way you look at Vasiht'h. And... it's nothing like how you look at me." <ref name="fr-23">''[[From Ruins (Fiction) | From Ruins]]'', chapter 23</ref>

==Quotes==
"Keep your enemies closer, ah?" 
"The closer they are, the easier they are to burn."
-''[[Maia]] and Sediryl''

"Is he taken, then?" - To Lisinthir, watching his reunion with Jahir. (To which Lisinthir replies that he's just "a friend with extravagant benefits.") <ref>''[[From Ruins (Fiction) | From Ruins]]'', chapter 21</ref>

"Goddess, is this how Liolesa sees everything? ‘Yes, that’s nice; also, politics.’" <ref>''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) | Farmer's Crown]]'', chapter 3</ref>

"All Eldritch are my people. That's the reason I had to come, and why I always will, unless Lord and Lady hold me back." <ref>''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) | Farmer's Crown]]'', chapter 10</ref>

"So many people hurt.So many people dead. So many people suffering, still in cages on the pirate base. Sediryl cried for them, and for the mess she'd made of an intolerable situation; she cried because there were no tidy solutions, because she couldn't see a universe where anyone could have avoided the mess of it. She cried because she felt she should have done better, and because there is not 'better' possible. All of her choices had been bad, and though her best had been enough (,) she would never stop blaming herself for it still being awful." (--'From Ruins' kindle page 229 of 492)

In the bathroom, Sediryl thought of the Queen's casual comment. *It afflicted the Ambassador Terribly. Being raped."* Tried to imagine her cousin Lisinthir, dangerous cousin Lisinthir who had emitted that effortless confidence and veiled aggression, being... raped? By whom? She grimaced and met her own eyes. "He survived," she whispered to herself. "I'll survive. Not only that, I'll *win*." In Extremis, kindle page 2919 of 5889

==Trivia==
* Enjoys eating and can eat even under stressful conditions
* Knows how to play cat's cradle, but hates to knit (she can, but badly)
* Knows how to drive various aircars, and enjoys it <ref>Farmer's Crown, Chapter 4</ref>
* Likes hibiscus tea: Hyera once painted her a picture with it, and then used the remainder as body paint on her.
* Does not like lavender-flavored baked goods. (Doesn't mind the smell, but eating it is "a bridge too far.") <ref name="hw-07">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction)|Healer's Wedding]]'' chapter 7</ref>
* Used to have dreams about being late when she was a girl <ref name="hw-20" />
* Sediryl often now says "Powers" (rather than "Goddess and Lord" like other female Eldritch). She's still unsure about her belief in any divinities, but this way she feels that both the Faulfenzair god and the Chatcaava's Living Air are included. <ref name="fc-22">''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) |Farmer's Crown]]'', chapter 22</ref>
* Did not come back from her investment vigil with anything notable.

===Body Language===
* Fidgets a lot
* Tilts her head when listening to a telegem

===Personal Accoutrements/Significant Possessions===
* An amulet rampant from Jahir and Lisinthir
* A troth ring from Jahir bearing the Galare unicorn
* A ring from the Queen Ransomed
* A solidigraph dog named Bells and Whistles, a gift from [[Hyera Amiri|Hyera]]
* A solidigraphic/holographic enhanced robot horse (noted as 'Glitterhorse'), solidigraphic, a gift from [[Hyera Amiri|Hyera]] see illo at top.

===Names===
What people call her:
* [[Eldritch#Milk_names |Milk name]]: Sedi <ref name="GoF-01">''[[Girl on Fire (Fiction)|Girl on Fire]]'' chapter 1</ref><ref name="GoF-02">''[[Girl on Fire (Fiction)|Girl on Fire]]'' chapter 2</ref> ([[Haladir]] calls her this).
* [[Qora]] calls her "Princess" even when she isn't yet, the very first time they speak. <ref name="ie-10">''[[In Extremis (Fiction) |In Extremis]]'', chapter 10</ref>
* The [[Queen Ransomed]] calls her "sister", and refers to her as "my sister". <ref name="fc-23">for example ''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) |Farmer's Crown]]'', chapter 23</ref>
* [[Jahir]] calls her "my heart" or just "heart". <ref name="hw-02">for example ''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) |Healer's Wedding]]'', chapter 2</ref>
* [[Liolesa]] often calls her "niece". Also sometimes "Nuera", but that's mostly early on, before she's even the incipient heir.
* [[Jerent Mysfeldt]] is doubtless not alone in addressing her as "my lady". <ref name="hw-01" />
* [[Vasiht'h]] calls her "ariishir" by the time they're approaching the wedding. <ref name="hw-06">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) |Healer's Wedding]]'', chapter 6</ref>

What she calls people:
* In PG3, her monarch requests: "Cousin. Call me Liolesa." <ref name="ar-10">''[[Amulet Rampant (Fiction) |Amulet Rampant]]'', chapter 10</ref> Later on, Sediryl mostly addresses Liolesa as "aunt". <ref name="fr-24">for example ''[[From Ruins (Fiction) |From Ruins]]'', chapter 24</ref>
* She calls Vasiht'h "arii" when they first speak on the pirate base. <ref name="ie-10" /> She's also on "arii" terms with [[Reese]]. <ref name="hw-05">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) |Healer's Wedding]]'', chapter 5</ref>
* She often calls Jahir "love". <ref name="hw-02" />

Title:
* After putting the crowns on their heads, Liolesa presents them as "Sediryl Galare, the imperial heir, and her husband, the Prince-Consort Jahir Galare." They're inducted as mind-mages as "Healing Mage Jahir Galare, Prince-consort" and "Fire Mage Sediryl Galare, heir-imperial". <ref name="fc-25">''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) |Farmer's Crown]]'', chapter 25</ref> This implies that her title, such as it is, is "imperial heir" or "heir-imperial", but this will doubtless often get simplified to Princess.

FIRE

==Appearance and Personality==
* Built upon the typical Eldritch lines (slender, white hair), but shorter than average. Probably about 5'10" based on her being a head shorter than Jahir (6'6")
* Orange eyes
* Prefers to dress in trousers, boots, blouse and horseback riding-style coats in browns and darker blues
* Voice is a soprano <ref name="mp-mo-02">''[[Major Pieces (Fiction) | Major Pieces]]'', "Moving Out", chapter 2</ref>
* Unbound, hair reaches below her knees, implied longer than Lisinthir's <ref name="hw-16">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction)|Healer's Wedding]]'', chapter 16</ref>

==Mind Powers==
Fire and mindblock
*This needs to be illustrated by a quote.
*Outside the bedroom, Vasiht'h drifted to a halt, frowning. Never in all his life had he run into anything like what he'd sensed trying to reach for Sediryl's thoughts. He'd been in and out of the heads of dozens of relatives, touched minds in passing with many Glaseahn strangers in his youth, and then of course there had been the mindline and his dreamwork with Jahir. People without esper abilities were the norm, but there minds were porous, not... not *armored*. That is what it reminded him of. As if there was a pressure inside her forcing everything out. <ref>[[In Extremis (Fiction) |In Extremis]], kindle page 2886 of 5889.</ref>

[[File:Cover-scionsflight.jpeg|200px|thumb|right|First Edition Cover]]

Book 2 of Lisinthir's return for the birth of his heir(s). This book ends the Fallowtide sequence.

==Publication Data==
*Series: Lisinthir's Heirs
*Book: 2
*Publication Date: 8/25/2021
*Editions: 1
*Revisions: 1

==Blurb==
A SEASON OF FLOWERS, A SEASON OF BLOOD

When the sacrifices of a princess and an alien turn the first attack into a victory for Lisinthir and his allies, their enemies resort to a new threat to disarm them. But they're not the only ones mobilizing in response to a transformative sacrifice: everywhere, the discontent of their culture's discards is reaching the boiling point. As the princess and her family prepare for the birth of their heirs, all fate is building toward a final confrontation.

The Empress promised them ten years of peace. Will they see the promise of the fallowtide fulfilled? And what will be the outcome of this final chapter in the saga of the Chatcaavan War?

== Quotes ==
*[of the Faulfenza:] "And such an odd interest. Not like the Pelted, who are everywhere, trying to fix things. They're nearly the opposite of everywhere; they dont even seem to notice our political convulsions. It's almost like ... they're waiting. For us to come to some conclusion." --[[Sediryl Nuera Galare|Sediryl]]
*"I dare not wonder what to expect from the collision of divine Eldritch gifts and [[Faulfenza]]ir destinies." -- Jahir
* (quote and summary) Her world was changing, and the changes were inexorable, and she understood them not at all. An alien had wanted to help, and thought that helping involved changing Eldritch custom for time out of mine and it did help--but it helped the Empress and her princess, who wanted... this... for their people. This which had saved the life of Lord Tolden. Who would have died. This, which had allowed them to usher out a precedent that people of compassion knew was wrongful, and abhorred. This, which had freed a [[Solanth Catha Galare]], and made everything an [[Evelis Lona Mathanith]] strove fore feel petty. <ref> Scion's Flight, chapter 9, kindle page 169 of 281 </ref>
* "That is exactly why it will work," Sediryl said. "You tell them that you were tricked by me--evil, manipulative chit that I am--but you intend to turn my strategy against me. I was trying once again to woo the tenants to my side, in contravention tho their own natural place and duties they owe to their superiors. You say that I didn't think that through. Because now, if we take the immediate steps to ban cruel and unusual punishments, then those tenants will love us, rather than the princess." <ref> Scion's Flight (Fiction)|Scions' Flight]] kindle page 9 of 281</ref>,

* "That was brilliant."

"You think so?"

*[of the Faulfenza:] "And such an odd interest. Not like the Pelted, who are everywhere, trying to fix things. They're nearly the opposite of everywhere; they dont even seem to notice our political convulsions. It's almost like ... they're waiting. For us to come to some conclusion." --[[Sediryl Nuera Galare|Sediryl]]
*"I dare not wonder what to expect from the collision of divine Eldritch gifts and [[Faulfenza]]ir destinies." -- Jahir
* (quote and summary) Her world was changing, and the changes were inexorable, and she understood them not at all. An alien had wanted to help, and thought that helping involved changing Eldritch custom for time out of mine and it did help--but it helped the Empress and her princess, who wanted... this... for their people. This which had saved the life of Lord Tolden. Who would have died. This, which had allowed them to usher out a precedent that people of compassion knew was wrongful, and abhorred. This, which had freed a [[Solanth Catha Galare]], and made everything an [[Evelis Lona Mathanith]] strove fore feel petty. <ref> Scion's Flight, chapter 9, kindle page 169 of 281 </ref>
* "That is exactly why it will work," Sediryl said. "You tell them that you were tricked by me--evil, manipulative chit that I am--but you intend to turn my strategy against me. I was trying once again to woo the tenants to my side, in contravention tho their own natural place and duties they owe to their superiors. You say that I didn't think that through. Because now, if we take the immediate steps to ban cruel and unusual punishments, then those tenants will love us, rather than the princess." <ref> Scion's Flight (Fiction)|Scions' Flight]] kindle page 9 of 281</ref>,

Amber Seni Galare

2022-03-28T03:08:50Z

63.155.45.212: /* Recent History */

[[File:Illo-Amber.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Amber Seni Galare]]

Full name Sernataila Seni Galare. Currently having his mind messed with by [[Bethsaida Emil Galare]], at least until her death.

==Physical Characteristics==
Taller than Jahir, but narrower through the chest and shoulders and jaw. Darker eyes, a honeyed hazel. <ref name="oto-02">[[Only the Open (Fiction)|Only the Open]], chapter 2</ref>

==Biography==
Growing up, Amber had his own room, across the hall from Jahir's. They shared their tutor and their library, but had their own horses and swords, and Amber had his own clothing made for him by the same tailor as Jahir's. <ref name="fc-02">''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) | Farmer's Crown]]'', chapter 2</ref>

Amber recalls Jahir's leaving for the Alliance as Jahir's one mistake: he feels that Jahir should have let Amber go instead. Amber's recollection is that Jeasa told him to go "a few years later". <ref name="mp-ss">''[[Major Pieces (Fiction) | Major Pieces]]'', "Second Son"</ref>

Jahir says that of the two of them, Amber was always the more unorthodox, caring little for convention. <ref name="ar=04">''[[Amulet Rampant (Fiction) |Amulet Rampant]]'', Chapter 4</ref> He studied architecture in the Alliance, then went on a "Grand Tour" of the Alliance, before he ended up at St. Jasmine of the Stars on [[Sharsenne]]. He received the customary stipend from Liolesa for his wanders. He was never homesick, and his letters grew sporadic after his graduation.

Son of [[Jeasa Seni Galare |Jeasa]] and [[Kolvin Seni Galare |Kolvin]], and younger brother of [[Jahir Seni Galare |Jahir]].

==Recent History==
During the war, [[Lisinthir Nase Galare | Lisinthir]] and [[Sediryl Nuera Galare | Sediryl]] assigned Amber the task of shepherding the Throneworld harem from Sharsenne to Escutcheon. He resented this division of labor: he wanted to punish the Chatcaava, not protect them, but neither of his cousins was willing to let him seek his revenge for Bethsaida's captivity. <ref name="oto-04">''[[Only the Open (Fiction) | Only the Open]]'', chapter 4</ref>

After the war, Amber went to meet Bethsaida in the Stranger's Garden at the convent of Saint Militha, and pledged to never leave her. <ref name="hw-pro">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) | Healer's Wedding]]'', Prologue</ref> (This had to occur very shortly after the war, before Sediryl even got home, because Liolesa knew that Amber was allied with Beth by the time she met with Sediryl in person. <ref name="fr-24">''[[From Ruins (Fiction) | From Ruins]]'', chapter 24</ref>) He accompanied Beth on her tour of Escutcheon's convents for most of a year before finally deigning to visit his mother and brother -- with less than a day's notice <ref name="hw-02">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) | Healer's Wedding]]'', chapter 2</ref> -- and then ruined it for everyone by bringing Beth and refusing to include Vasiht'h and his family in the gathering. Bethsaida stormed out at the end of the meal, playing the insulted maiden, and Amber went with her, cutting both his mother and his brother. <ref name="hw-03" />

After the wedding but before the investiture, Bethsaida stayed for several days at the convent of Saint Charisael, in Nuera, where she met secretly with [[Iralin Dova Ulurith |Iralin, the Ulurith heir]] -- for which meeting Amber brought out some anti-surveillance technology that he'd apparently been carting around. <ref name="fc-15">''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) | Farmer's Crown]]'', chapter 15</ref>

After Jahir and Sediryl opened the dancing following their investiture, Amber tried to provoke Lisinthir into a duel, with accusations of loose morals and inappropriate relationships. He was goaded along psychically by Bethsaida. Lisinthir utterly failed to rise to the bait; when Jahir tried to offer friendship and help, Amber rejected him. <ref name="fc-25">''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) | Farmer's Crown]]'', chapter 25</ref>

It is unknown (at this time) where Amber and Beth went after the investiture. One result of this is that Amber is no longer Seni's heir. <ref name="hs-13">''[[Heartskein (Fiction) | Heartskein]]'', chapter 13</ref>

Got attached emotionally to Beth, got emotionally used/abused by her, got tired of her. <ref> Many books leading up to [[Scions' Flight (Fiction)|Scions' Flight]] </ref> and finally in S.F. Chapter 13, killed her

Discovered [[Crispin]] disguised as an update service for his tablet.

==Quotes==
"My name is Amber Seni Galare... and I have been seeking a way to avenge myself on the Empire."<ref name="ar-07">[[Amulet Rampant (Fiction) |Amulet Rampant]], Chapter 7</ref>

"You speak of the Queen, now styling herself Empress, and her new heir, our cousin. And all their coterie of alien-lovers, who would throw our world into the arms of people who could not defend themselves from dragons. And they expect these failures to defend us?" <ref name="hw-p">[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction)|Healer's Wedding]], prologue</ref>

==Trivia==
* He understands bits of Chatcaavan but is not a fluent speaker; he has no gift for tongues (and complained of losing bits of Eldren the longer he's away from Escutcheon). <ref name="oto-02" />
* He holds grudges until they strangle in his arms, according to Sediryl in Only the Open
* His [[Eldritch#Milk name|milk name]] is Tai <ref name="hw-03">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) |Healer's Wedding]]'', Chapter 3</ref>

Amber Seni Galare

2022-03-28T03:05:39Z

63.155.45.212:

[[File:Illo-Amber.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Amber Seni Galare]]

Full name Sernataila Seni Galare. Currently having his mind messed with by [[Bethsaida Emil Galare]], at least until her death.

==Physical Characteristics==
Taller than Jahir, but narrower through the chest and shoulders and jaw. Darker eyes, a honeyed hazel. <ref name="oto-02">[[Only the Open (Fiction)|Only the Open]], chapter 2</ref>

==Biography==
Growing up, Amber had his own room, across the hall from Jahir's. They shared their tutor and their library, but had their own horses and swords, and Amber had his own clothing made for him by the same tailor as Jahir's. <ref name="fc-02">''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) | Farmer's Crown]]'', chapter 2</ref>

Amber recalls Jahir's leaving for the Alliance as Jahir's one mistake: he feels that Jahir should have let Amber go instead. Amber's recollection is that Jeasa told him to go "a few years later". <ref name="mp-ss">''[[Major Pieces (Fiction) | Major Pieces]]'', "Second Son"</ref>

Jahir says that of the two of them, Amber was always the more unorthodox, caring little for convention. <ref name="ar=04">''[[Amulet Rampant (Fiction) |Amulet Rampant]]'', Chapter 4</ref> He studied architecture in the Alliance, then went on a "Grand Tour" of the Alliance, before he ended up at St. Jasmine of the Stars on [[Sharsenne]]. He received the customary stipend from Liolesa for his wanders. He was never homesick, and his letters grew sporadic after his graduation.

Got attached emotionally to Beth, got emotionally used/abused by her, got tired of her. <ref> Many books leading up to [[Scions' Flight (Fiction)|Scions' Flight]] and finally in S.F. Chapter 13, killed her. </ref>
===Family===
Son of [[Jeasa Seni Galare |Jeasa]] and [[Kolvin Seni Galare |Kolvin]], and younger brother of [[Jahir Seni Galare |Jahir]].

==Recent History==
During the war, [[Lisinthir Nase Galare | Lisinthir]] and [[Sediryl Nuera Galare | Sediryl]] assigned Amber the task of shepherding the Throneworld harem from Sharsenne to Escutcheon. He resented this division of labor: he wanted to punish the Chatcaava, not protect them, but neither of his cousins was willing to let him seek his revenge for Bethsaida's captivity. <ref name="oto-04">''[[Only the Open (Fiction) | Only the Open]]'', chapter 4</ref>

After the war, Amber went to meet Bethsaida in the Stranger's Garden at the convent of Saint Militha, and pledged to never leave her. <ref name="hw-pro">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) | Healer's Wedding]]'', Prologue</ref> (This had to occur very shortly after the war, before Sediryl even got home, because Liolesa knew that Amber was allied with Beth by the time she met with Sediryl in person. <ref name="fr-24">''[[From Ruins (Fiction) | From Ruins]]'', chapter 24</ref>) He accompanied Beth on her tour of Escutcheon's convents for most of a year before finally deigning to visit his mother and brother -- with less than a day's notice <ref name="hw-02">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) | Healer's Wedding]]'', chapter 2</ref> -- and then ruined it for everyone by bringing Beth and refusing to include Vasiht'h and his family in the gathering. Bethsaida stormed out at the end of the meal, playing the insulted maiden, and Amber went with her, cutting both his mother and his brother. <ref name="hw-03" />

After the wedding but before the investiture, Bethsaida stayed for several days at the convent of Saint Charisael, in Nuera, where she met secretly with [[Iralin Dova Ulurith |Iralin, the Ulurith heir]] -- for which meeting Amber brought out some anti-surveillance technology that he'd apparently been carting around. <ref name="fc-15">''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) | Farmer's Crown]]'', chapter 15</ref>

After Jahir and Sediryl opened the dancing following their investiture, Amber tried to provoke Lisinthir into a duel, with accusations of loose morals and inappropriate relationships. He was goaded along psychically by Bethsaida. Lisinthir utterly failed to rise to the bait; when Jahir tried to offer friendship and help, Amber rejected him. <ref name="fc-25">''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) | Farmer's Crown]]'', chapter 25</ref>

It is unknown (at this time) where Amber and Beth went after the investiture. One result of this is that Amber is no longer Seni's heir. <ref name="hs-13">''[[Heartskein (Fiction) | Heartskein]]'', chapter 13</ref>

Bethsaida Emil Galare

2022-03-28T02:51:51Z

63.155.45.212: /* Biography */

The former heir to the [[Eldritch]] throne.

Pronounced ''beth-SYE-dah.''<ref name="etw-pg">"Pronunciation Guide," ''[[Even the Wingless (Fiction) |Even the Wingless]]'' backmatter</ref>

==Physical Appearance==
Sea-green eyes <ref name="EvenWingless1">''[[Even the Wingless (Fiction) |Even the Wingless]]'', Part 1</ref>. Heart-shaped face, with a peak in her hairline in the center. <ref name="hw-07">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) |Healer's Wedding]]'', chapter 7</ref>

==Biography==
At some point after leaving [[Escutcheon]], Bethsaida was captured and enslaved by the [[Chatcaava]], earning favor for [[Third-Who-Was]], who arranged it. She was delivered to the [[Throneworld Court Palace |Emperor's palace on the Throneworld]]. There, a pair of fellow alien slaves, a [[Malarai]] and a [[Tam-illee]], attempted to shield her from touch; they placed themselves between her and Chatcaava, and slept in the doorway of the closet where Bethsaida slept to guard the entrance. They were ultimately unable to do so, and Bethsaida was presented to the court in a white shift and a silver collar set with opals. Bethsaida developed a strong [[Esper Talents#Touch Sensitivity |touch sensitivity]], ultimately resulting in a comalike unconsciousness. Nevertheless, the [[Emperor Kauvauc Ueneuvin |Emperor]] planned to rape her before the entire court, which would undoubtedly kill her.<ref name="EvenWingless1" />

[[Lisinthir Nase Galare]] and the [[Queen Ransomed |Slave Queen]] hatched a plot, with assistance from [[Fleet]], to help the slaves escape. The plan required the Queen to [[Chatcaavan Shapechange |Touch Bethsaida and take her pattern]], and then Change to impersonate her for the presentation. Bethsaida was unable to tolerate her touch for long enough for the Touch to be completed, so the Queen took Lisinthir's pattern instead.<ref name="EvenWingless1" />

The rescue was successful and Bethsaida was returned to her home, traumatized but intact. She later sent a message of thanks to Lisinthir and the Queen.<ref name="EvenWingless2">''[[Even the Wingless (Fiction) |Even the Wingless]]'', Part Two</ref>

After the war ended, Bethsaida had recovered enough to go on a tour of Escutcheon's convents. She was accompanied by [[Jahir Seni Galare|Jahir's]] brother [[Amber Seni Galare|Amber]], and her writings about her experiences were published in the [[Broadsheet|broadsheet's]] "Letters to the Editor" section. <ref name="wed">''[[Healer's_Wedding_(Fiction)|Healer's Wedding]]''</ref> The tour and the writings were generally believed to be a plot against the new heir, [[Sediryl Nuera Galare]]. She was also grooming Amber to provoke a duel with Lisinthir at the investiture (which failed because Lisinthir refused to rise to the bait), possibly by using previously-unknown mind powers. <ref name="fc-25">''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction)|Farmer's Crown]]'', chapter 25</ref>

==Trivia==
* Her official palace portraits depict her with a sweet, simple style, free of cynicism. <ref name="EvenWingless1" />
* Her investiture gift was a gem-encrusted book that was designed to appease the political stance of all noble families. The heading portrait of each chapter's House was painted with her image, which later had to be painted over with different eye colors, as the painter was enamored of her, according to [[Liliarana Delen Galare]]. <ref name="hw-07" />

Bethsaida Emil Galare

2022-03-28T02:45:44Z

63.155.45.212:

The former heir to the [[Eldritch]] throne.

Pronounced ''beth-SYE-dah.''<ref name="etw-pg">"Pronunciation Guide," ''[[Even the Wingless (Fiction) |Even the Wingless]]'' backmatter</ref>

==Physical Appearance==
Sea-green eyes <ref name="EvenWingless1">''[[Even the Wingless (Fiction) |Even the Wingless]]'', Part 1</ref>. Heart-shaped face, with a peak in her hairline in the center. <ref name="hw-07">''[[Healer's Wedding (Fiction) |Healer's Wedding]]'', chapter 7</ref>

==Biography==
At some point after leaving [[Escutcheon]], Bethsaida was captured and enslaved by the [[Chatcaava]], earning favor for [[Third-Who-Was]], who arranged it. She was delivered to the [[Throneworld Court Palace |Emperor's palace on the Throneworld]]. There, a pair of fellow alien slaves, a [[Malarai]] and a [[Tam-illee]], attempted to shield her from touch; they placed themselves between her and Chatcaava, and slept in the doorway of the closet where Bethsaida slept to guard the entrance. They were ultimately unable to do so, and Bethsaida was presented to the court in a white shift and a silver collar set with opals. Bethsaida developed a strong [[Esper Talents#Touch Sensitivity |touch sensitivity]], ultimately resulting in a comalike unconsciousness. Nevertheless, the [[Emperor Kauvauc Ueneuvin |Emperor]] planned to rape her before the entire court, which would undoubtedly kill her.<ref name="EvenWingless1" />

[[Lisinthir Nase Galare]] and the [[Queen Ransomed |Slave Queen]] hatched a plot, with assistance from [[Fleet]], to help the slaves escape. The plan required the Queen to [[Chatcaavan Shapechange |Touch Bethsaida and take her pattern]], and then Change to impersonate her for the presentation. Bethsaida was unable to tolerate her touch for long enough for the Touch to be completed, so the Queen took Lisinthir's pattern instead.<ref name="EvenWingless1" />

The rescue was successful and Bethsaida was returned to her home, traumatized but intact. She later sent a message of thanks to Lisinthir and the Queen.<ref name="EvenWingless2">''[[Even the Wingless (Fiction) |Even the Wingless]]'', Part Two</ref>

After the war ended, Bethsaida had recovered enough to go on a tour of Escutcheon's convents. She was accompanied by [[Jahir Seni Galare|Jahir's]] brother [[Amber Seni Galare|Amber]], and her writings about her experiences were published in the [[Broadsheet|broadsheet's]] "Letters to the Editor" section. <ref name="wed">''[[Healer's_Wedding_(Fiction)|Healer's Wedding]]''</ref> The tour and the writings were generally believed to be a plot against the new heir, [[Sediryl Nuera Galare]]. She was also grooming Amber to provoke a duel with Lisinthir at the investiture (which failed because Lisinthir refused to rise to the bait), possibly by using previously-unknown mind powers. <ref name="fc-25">''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction)|Farmer's Crown]]'', chapter 25</ref>

Died, killed by Amber. <ref> [[Scions' Flight (Fiction)]] chapter 18 </ref>

[[File:Illo-Lunet.png|200px|thumb|right|Lunet with Bippity Boppity Two]]

[[Surela]]'s daughter, the shapeshifting [[Chatcaava |Chatcaavan]] girl. Father raped her Eldritch mother, mother kept the child instead of aborting.

==Physical Characteristics==
"Her eyes had settled into their adult color, a scintillating peridot green, as cheerful as the new grass growing around her pudgy legs." <ref name="df-somechapter">Dragons' Fealty, Some Chapter</ref>

Shapechanging female. Going through a bow phase. Bows on the horns! Bows on the tail! Bows on dresses! Bows on the [[Flitzbe]]! (who "hangs onto them" with its neural fur, so the bow just... sticks to it.) Likes to paint her claws rainbow colors, with glitter.

==Biography==
Has a cheerful disposition, even as an infant.

Reese named her Lunet, which means gift in Chatcaavan; she thought it sounded Eldritchy. But the name as given is pronounced "loon EHT" while the Chatcaavan word is pronounced "LOON iht" (and so should probably be spelled luunit), so the Chatcaava don't realize what she intended.

===Timeline===
As calculated by Julika:

Lunet's age in months:
* 0. early autumn (9 months after coup, 4 months after engagement of Jahir and Sediryl) -- Lunet's birth
* 8. late spring -- wedding (and conception of Lisinthir's babies)
* 9. early summer -- investiture
* 12. early autumn -- Lunet's first birthday
* 13. mid-autumn -- Anseahla (birth of Vasiht'h's babies)
* 18. early spring -- Lisinthir's babies

"Given the identical gestational length of Chatcaava, Eldritch, and human, one would assume similar developmental timelines after birth, right? So [at the time of ''Dragons' Fealty''] she should be running around and babbling." <ref name="interact">Interactions, First Readers, Dragons' Fealty</ref>

==Quotes==

==Trivia==
* Has one of [[Allacazam]]'s children: [[Bippity Boppity Two]]. ([[Bippity Boppity One]] is back home with someone else.)

Sellelvi

2022-03-24T02:13:28Z

63.155.45.212:

[[File:Illo-FasiSellelvi.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Sellelvi helps [[Fasianyl Mina Jisiensire|Fasianyl]] dress.]]

The famous pard who became friends with [[Fasianyl Mina Jisiensire]]. Homeworld-bred, her train was Roshka.

==Appearance and Personality==
A member of the leopard intrarace within the Harat-Shar.

==Biography==
Born either in an orbital habitat or a ship, and a follower of the [[Harat-Shariin_Religions#Minor_Sects|shipguides]], a very minor splinter sect of the Harat-Shar.

At the time of Reese Eddings's first visit to Escutcheon, Sellelvi's arrival to the summer court was the last time an alien showed up at Ontine for "some two centuries."<ref name="rp-03">[[Rose Point (Fiction) | Rose Point]], Part Three</ref>

Sellelvi was made a part of Jisiensire via a rite that was created specifically for her situation, involving an overnight vigil in a chapel, with a hallucinogen meant to allow the witnessing Eldritch to touch her mind and evaluate it for suitability (five are required). This rite was created by Liolesa with the help of the Church. <ref name="fm">[[Family (Fiction) | Family]]</ref>

===The Folio===
One of Fasianyl's suitors is responsible for painting a series of portraits of her and Sellelvi. (He was a portrait painter, which suggested he was somewhat lower in station than her--perhaps a bootless son or cousin from an impoverished house).<ref name="rp-03" />

A soft leather folio, dark blue, longer than a forearm but narrower than expected. Smells of paint and ink and paper. The paint is "vibrant" with "jewel-rich" hues, and smells of oils.

Twenty-two images, intimate but pastoral, not sexual, of Sellelvi and Fasianyl engaged in normal activities, like Sellelvi listening to Fasianyl reading aloud from a book while they sit together on a day bed.

The folio of paintings ended up in the care of [[Natalie Felger]]'s family "over a hundred years" prior to [[Reese Eddings]] seeing them on [[Harat-Sharii]].<ref name="er-02">[[Earthrise (Fiction) | Earthrise]], Part Two</ref>
