Asralyn

" 'What happened in our pasts do not define our futures.' "In Memoram of Asralyn, 543 FE - 108SE.

Asralyn was born 543FE, the first and only daughter of Emperor Harris VII, the last ruler of the Qwe'tsn Empire. Her father's generation had experienced a humilating loss handed to them at the Battle of the Crimson River, where they lost to an army of Jeannes' Parrots. Born out of wedlock, by her father and an unknown peasant, she was shunned by the Nobles of Qwe'tsn, who tormented her with remarks about her father and her peasant mother. Emperor Harris was also a heavy alcoholic, having turned to it after his defeat at the Crimson River. Because of this, he would often go into drunken rages and hurt her.

Formative Years
Asralyn was born in the Harris Estate, a large castle to the eastern foothills overlooking Yuv'aen. Her father, Emperor Harris, killed her mother right after Asralyn was born, so no one would know her identity, then ordered her body to be disposed of into the nearby Elgaia Lake, but instead, it was brought down to the Castle dungeon and stored, by order of the High Mage, who thought he could use her body as political leverage.

Asralyn was named after Emperor Harris' great grandmother, Emporess Asralyn the Dark. It means "to bring glory" in Proto-Highlandic.
