Sareariel Lelya-Earcala

Sareariel Lelya-Earcala (Birth name Sarenis) also known as the Celestial Matron of Celeia is a Celestial Elven warlord, general, soldier, and served as the first Velereth of the Aurlûnor Velande, and the Celestial Matron of Celeia. Known as the "Divine Empress" and the "Dragon Empress", Sareariel is seen as a goddess among many people due to her ascendence by the end of the warring states period.

Validations of her origins are usually varied, as Sareariel is rather secretive about her life, and not many people know her behind closed doors. And those who usually do, don't share who she actually is, nor her origins being confirmed. It is not really truly known if she is actually immortal, as there has been instances of Sareariel receiving injuries, but has since said she is not invincible.

She was married to Tsar Toss I of the Second Tsardom of Ryzan, and ruled Ryzan as Tsarina during the First Aurlûnoren-Ryzani Empire until its breakup a year into its inception. In addition to her titles, Sareariel would possess the old title as Yimmu-Audal Empress following her possessing the Crown of Yimmu-Audal for a year and a half, as well as Calipha of Ardat-Mosul from her marriage to Dalatra Mosulia. She would be married to Kaiser Lucius von Savras of Andorn later on, and finally, Kori Glynrel, who would remain her currently remain her spouse.

There have been three recorded incidents of which Sareariel had died. For about a few days, she was presumed to be deceased following The Ferrymen War due to her reported sickness and throwups, however, she reportedly returned back to Rathnir from the Vale. Sareariel would disappear from Rathnir in the year 940 on October 20. and was declared "deceased". However, she was not actually confirmed to be dead, as her presence was very much felt throughout Lhûmar. She would make a full return on December 20th of the year 942, and resume her reign. She would formally abdicate the throne on May 3rd of they year 947. The final death was in the year 1001, where Sareariel would take a potion that was thought to be impossible to gain known as the Elixr of Mortality, where it was made from a rare herb found deep within Lothranis, and a stone found deep within Momaganon.

After consumption, Saerariel would rapidly age, and die at the natural age of 309, turning into a stone husk overlooking Ziemia. However, these rumors turn out to be false, as there was no body reported by Zieminans. Much of her wealth, regalia and property would be handed down to her eldest living daughter, Pyrrha Lelya-Earcala, following her will that was present on Pyrrha's doorstep, and the items in special boxes. Prior to the fishing contest in the year 1067ACA, Sareariel's statue was present among the many that was erected within the Statue Ceremony, but it was shaped in a similarity in how she appeared in life, without the aged features. It was also reported by Pyrrha that she would be off the plinth, moving among the living, and was still alive. Whether or not this is true, it is somewhat evidence of Sareariel not being completely dead.

Names
Sareariel had gone by multiple names throughout her lifetime. Her birthname was Sarenis which Sare means essence, while nis is a denotation that Sarenis is female. Upon being ordinated by Vinimias as the Celestial Matron, nis was removed and instead, was given ariel, which means "noble lady" or "noble woman". Her regnal name, Lelya-Earcala, essentially means "Evening Shine".

Early Life
Sareariel's early life is largely left unknown, due to the fact that she was born within an era that can be described as "rather hard to record" except behind the varying legends that surround people. Thanks to Sareariel's insights and conversations she had with people, however, it can be confirmed that she was born in the year 246BCA of the Twin Dragon Calendar, or 233SPP, 515, and 161BCJ.

A lowborn commoner, Sareariel was born with the name Sarenis, and was the daughter of Axeanis and Pallon. She was the eldest of two siblings, whos name was lost to time by memory. Born in the village of Dun, a settlement not so far from the fortress of Elen, Sarenis lived a peaceful life in the village, and was quite interested in farming, usually assisting her family with day to day farming chores, such as tending to cows, and to the fields. Sarenis described her life as "humble, and peaceful, a contrast to what people within the cities of Lonya and Turónshan.".

Despite her social status, the village was also home to the refugees of the heresy of the Almadoric Pantheon, the Twin Dragon faith. Meeting the former Priestess of Galariel, Vinimanis, she would learn a lot about the doctrines, values and principles of the faith, beginning her spiritual journey through meditation, and would attend every single session that happened in the middle of the week. Vinimanis' Accounts would state that among all of her students and the worshippers, Sareanis was the most devoted, even converting her parents to the faith. In addition to this, she would also learn Almadoric doctrines, and faith structure, declaring herself publicly a devotee to Galariel and Lynaris.

However, peace was something her people did not experienced too much, as the village bordered Melwende itself, and was isolated from the rest of Lonya, it was difficult to call for support from the local garrison that was across the borders, and the garrison itself was poorly fed, and underpaid. At the age of 34, a raid would happen, where Melwendic cavalry would devastate and harass the local livestock and fields, but the raiders would be fought off from the garrison, despite their situation. Inspired by the valiancy displayed by the Lonyic forces, and how her home and people can be better protected, Sareanis would join the military with her father's connections to the village's commander,

Early Military Career
Sareanis would face troubles in the earlier years as a soldier. She would not at first be able to join, due to the fact that she was a woman, and normally men were the only ones allowed to serve. However, Sareanis nevertheless got basic training in a Militia Defense Force, and was able to serve limitedly with the military. She would however, prove to the commandry commander, that she was far more capable than she let out to be. Soldiers even remarked that Sareanis "fought like a man, had a shout equal to a man if not fiercer, and the blood and sweat of a man that would make even the toughest men cry." After winning multiple victories, in the year 192BCA, at the age of 49, Sareanis would be formally recognized as a member of the Lonya Royal Army, and was given the rank of Sergeant.

Sareanis stated herself, that she was loved by the soldiers, due to her strategy of being a fierce, yet cautious commander. Her first major victory as a higher ranking soldier who commander troops was against the fiercesome Hissane Bandits, who was a target of much of the village of Dun, and for the surrounding regions. She would, with authorization of her commander, lead a raid on the main bandit camp, scattering them, and made sure that they never attacked and raided them again. Sareanis would even manage to convince some of them to join her ranks. These continued campaigns would eventually attract the attention of King Loracendus III, the ruler of Lonya in 189BCA. He would recognize her talent, and promoted her to Major, giving her command of even more soldiers.

General of the Lonya
In 150BCA, Major Sareanis would be promoted to Colonel following her major victory in a key battle, which was the Battle of the Northern Liang River, pushing back the Melwendic Forces to the north, and capturing multiple key territories. The First Siege of Elen would end in a success, with her claiming an important outpost in the region. Sarenis would show herself to be a rather respectable figure among her soldiers and among the common people due to her commitment into keeping the people safe, her strong religious beliefs, and her ability to calculate an enemy's movement before it happens. It was this result, that earn a strong friendship between the King and this previously insignificant peasant. Even Almarie, who much of the aristocracy still hated her kind, respected her, with pure-bloods making her an "exception" of who they viewed as lesser. Her stronger popularity came from the minority races as well, especially from Humans, and even far into the Queendom of Hampo which was possibly the reason why they would lead a course that would convert them to Twin Dragon without conflict, where many of the Priesthood viewed her as the Fox Dragon's daughter, and the Dominion of Ashura.Around the year 124BCA, the village of Dun would see a raid by the Melwendic General, Karovan Ishaminis, and would see the sacking of the village as a way to draw ire from Sarenis, luring her to attack him in a pincer attack. At first, Sarenis would only receive this news as minor, despite her being angry that he would commit a cowardly act on her home. However, Karovan would also order the execution of her clan to drive her even further into despair. However, this would prove to be a huge mistake, as Sarenis would be furious, and, as he predicted, came to his camp along the northern Liang River, where he also seized when Sarenis campaigned in the west to try and take the Fortress of Elenwir. But, unlike what he initially thought, Sarenis would attack from all sides in some miracle, cornering his men within the village itself, and saw the brutal execution of his men. However, Sarenis would take him prisoner, and would proceed to attack his home town of Valanga (modern day Borolingy), sacking and looting the city, and executed his whole clan infront of his own eyes, before executing him. This unkindled rage would see the King's relation and trust in Sarenis decrease significantly, fearing she may end up doing the same should she ever decide to rebel. In a move to protect himself, Sarenis would instead, be congratulated for her efforts in fending off a high profiled general within Melwende, and looked over her atrocity, promoting her to the rank of General, and gave her command over the garrisons in Ridde and Dun, as well as allowing her to take command of the Northern Army, providing her with enough troops, supplies and resources needed to maintain sustainability.

Rebellion Against the King
In 118BCA, Lonya would capture a lot of Melwende's Southern Territory. However, Sarenis would be further angered that she figured out she was being practically used by the King for nefarious and rather sadistic purposes. The Siege of Turonshan was the final straw, as the King would order a merciless slaughter of the population. Many Melwendic peoples would die within the city, until fifteen minutes in to the entering of the city, Sarenis would defy the King's order, ending the bloody slaughter, traumatized of what she was becoming. This sudden stop, was said to be Sarenis' first flash of her eventual Ascension. She would claim this was the first time that she saw Huayin, who loomed over her, grinning, and encouraged her to continue the slaughter, allowing chaos to overtake her. It was there, a Celestial Master would hold her hand, and had her stand down. Marching into the Royal Palace, she would order the family to be arrested, but spared their lives, including the Queen and the Prince-consort, which she stated to her,"We are not much different you and I. We share similar ambitions, similar governing styles, similar popularity. What is the point of the whole-sale slaughter of your people if they had done none wrong? I am to blame for being a monster, and thus, I shall repay it, with kindness, virtue and generosity. By Lothariel's light, I shall balance Momarix's darkness."

- Sarenris A few months after her conquest, she would begin to help clean up the region, by rebuilding villages, and gifting victims large quantities of her supplies the King had gave her. Noticing this, Loracendus III would demand her to come back to the capital. Taking this as a sign of him wanting to execute her, Sarenis would rise up in rebellion against him, using her conquered territories with her garrisons in them as a base, and built a fort in Lingrinwë, using it as her base of operations. Although recently conquered and witnessed slaughtering by Sarenis' troops, her charisma, as well as the former Queen's good word on Sarenis, would win over volunteers who would slowly start to pour into Sarenis' ranks. With her Melwendic Adamantium blade, the Seven Star Sword, she would begin her six year campaign against her former King. The decisive battle of Yu'shen Mound would see the capture of Tarmen, and eventual pursuit of the King to the fields of Fielarwa (Modern day Maerun), where he was finally defeated, but demanded to die a warriors death by Sarenis's hand in 112BCA. Sarenis' campaign as a whole marked the end of the Warring States Period, as the Five Kingdoms would be reduced to only two, and much of the minor states with the exception of Tacua either surrendered to Sarenis or the Krow Horde. Slavery was formally abolished as one of her first acts, as well as the end of the use of Court Eunuchs.

As a Warlord
The throne of Lonya would be passed to Sarenis, even though she was reluctant at first to take it. This was likely from the tradition of the Dawou who would refuse titles being given to them until they are pressed to accept them, which was more of a test of virtue. However, according to Sarenis' account, she truly did reluctantly wanted to rule over the Kingdom, as she intended to retire. Regardless, Sarenis would accept the title. Moving the court to Sachómar, Sarenis would infact, focus her efforts on Lingrinwë, which she saw as a promising foundation for a new capital due to its more strategic location. Vinimanis, who would become Sarenis' closest friend and potential first lover, would be promoted to become her spiritual advisor, and oracle. It was here that Vinimanis would give Sarenis the name "Sareariel" as she viewed her as an avatar of Galariel herself.

The Celestial Ascension
Vinimanis's final prediction of the Lûnlie's own dominion came to pass,. However, in 0CA, she did not foresaw the ascension of Sareariel. This signifigant event, would see the confirmation of many of the Twin Dragon's beliefs and principles, including the more legendary side of the tomes. This very event would come to be known as the "Celestial Ascension" by many in the Empire, due to Sareariels' surprising changes that came to her body and her behavior. As such, she would declare the foundation of the Aurlûnor Velande, which means Sun Dragon Empire, officially recognizing the Lûnlie's creole language as "Aurlûnoren" and to encourage those to learn it as a new binding language to unify the peoples together. She would also decree that Twin Dragon as a non-heresy, and as "proven truth", officalizing it as the faith of the country, but did not declare other faiths as heretical, allowing other faiths to co-exist. Her new Imperial Court would consist of humans, elves and even kumiho, who migrated during her reign in 43BCA, who were followers of Twin Dragon.

Early First Reign
For the first 400 years of her reign, Sareariel would see many struggles, and went through damages that would be throughout the realm. The year 100ACA saw the strongest attack by the Crow Horde yet, striking deep in the eastern portion of the Empire, seeing her largest defeat, and the territory falling to the horde. Although they lost a large amount of territory to the hordes, they would not loose their more important cities that was to the west.

200ACA would see a large peasant rebellion lead by Sareariel's old friend, Valiel Lenwa, who proclaimed herself as the true Celestial Matron, and started her own cult. This revolt would almost succeed due to Valiel's similar looks to Sareariel, and would reach all the way to the palace in Lhûmar, bringing factions of the Imperial Guard to her side. However, the rebellion would be ultimately reversed when Sareariel's key advisor, Wu Hellon, who would see through the massive deception, and asked Valiel, "If you truly were the Celestial Matron, drip your blood into this chalice of wine.", in which, he'd proceed to bring out the wine, and had her use a dagger to cut a small part of her palm, and drip her blood into it. It would begin to glow a distinct light blue, in which he would drink it. He would turn to his majesty and say "If you are the true Celestial Matron, drip your blood into this chalice of wine", in which he would bring out another. Sareariel would proceed to do so, with her blood being similar in composition. Upon drinking it, he would have the two stand near eachother. He glanced at the two, and proceed to point his sword at Valiel, stating her blood was "not refined", and "cooler than Sareiariel's". Following this, Valiel was executed, with the rebellion being pushed all the way back to her stronghold, fully unifying the county. This rebellion would last over thirty years, with remnants of her faction being put down. In 243ACA, following the Red Canal Incident, Sareariel would sign new administrative legislation that outlawed freedom of religion, and declared the Twin Dragon religion as the sole religion of the nation to prevent an incident like this from happening again, and to enforce her legitimacy.

The year 300ACA would see a serious famine plague the countryside. At this point, many people started to think Sareariel was the bringer of bad luck and misfortune. These grievances were bought to the attention to the Imperial Court, who sought to do something about all of this misfortune. At the same time, the Crow Hordes would attack the Empire again, with the fourth conflict against them. Though despite their misfortune with crop failure, Sareariel would emerge victorious in defending their lands at the battle of Cilyanar. It was at this time, that the ideals of expansionism was bought into question in the court. It was here, that the policy of Isolationism was placed, but Sarerial would refuse, stating that "If the empire is to get out of these miserable games by the King of Darkness, we must have allies to counteract the negative. It is the only way we can attempt to bring out Queen Lothra to assist in our struggles.". With this, she would reach out to different Kingdoms, and Empires for assistance, namely for food.

400ACA would be the final year of the struggles, in which, for the first time, despite it being a struggling year, it would be one of the better years. The Queendom of Tacua and the Queendom of Hampo would see themselves attacking the Velande under directives of the Dominion of Ashura. These invasion forces would be defeated, but at the cost of much of the population's soldiers, as their fierce attacks would be nothing more than hit and runs, so they may diminish their influence and military strength.

Mid Reign
For the first time, the year 500ACA would see a string of good luck, which would have Sareariel experience a Golden Age for the Empire. Throughout her reign at this point, she would see the Empire expand into Tacua, incorporating it into the Empire, as well as the upper tip of Hampo, though they would not see it be fully conquered until years later. However, as time went by, Sareariel watched as foreign influence started to plague the courts. Fearing this, the Imperial Court once more proposed to her to implement isolationism, in which she eventually did, cancelling all alliances and limiting trade in the year 850ACA.

By then, the Takumakken Empire, who would unite years earlier, would attack, and have much of their land be taken over. They would also sack and burn the Yi'yen settlement of Yi, turning it into Sokalis. Following this, the two would eventually come to a peace for the first time, signing a treaty known as the Treaty of Smaugonik. At around this time as well, she would meet and marry Dalatra Mosulia, who was at the time, Khalifa de Ardat, where she would aquire this title, as well as Princess-consort of Yimmu-Audal following the Coronation of Dalatra as Empress of Yimmu-Audal.Following the death of Dalatra Mosulia, on the beaches of the Gulf of Heaven, Sareariel would come into possession of the Crown of Yimmu-Audal. After the crown was tracked to Crown Beach, the Council of Yimmu-Audal sent a representative negotiating a return of the crown back to their hands. Being in a good position to play Kingmaker, Sareariel would have the Council summon forth their contenders for the throne, and had her choose who will succeed. In this case, Carpicious would be crowned as Yimmu-Audal's Empress. Regardless, when Sareariel had them dismissed, she would not mention she was giving up her titles, and to this day, carry on the title as the Empress of Yimmu-Audal, but would never persuit to reclaim the land that was lost.

The decline of the Takumakken Empire has bought forth momentum throughout the Empire, and Sareariel, who sought to once and for all, solidify her legitimacy as the successor to the old Almadorian Kingdom, and called for full unification. She would take apart of the division of the Takumakken partitions together with Viridian, Huitca, and Ryzan. However, one slice of the empire was not enough to satisfy her. She would start to draft up eventual plans to unify the other parts, despite getting a rather large part of the deal out of the other member states. One of the ideas was the eventual invasion of Ryzan, however, this invasion plan was scrapped, as military advisors tell the Velereth of their well known tactic to throw as many soldiers as possible to defend their land. Knowing that this would not fair well, Sareariel would have her court come up with different plans. Orwa Sinawis, one of Sareariel's most trusted diplomats, would suggest that she should form a union instead with the Tsar, and then take opportunity to find ways to carve the empire from there. This would become known as the "Dual Union Strategem". Liking this idea, Sareariel would present herself to the courts of Ryzan to marry the Tsar, and join together in a dual monarchy, in which, it was agreed, as the Tsar, Toss was reportedly delighted with the idea of seeing his nation become the largest and most powerful on the contienent. The union would then be formed following the marriage between the two, and Sareariel would reign as the Empress of this new union between the two. According to disputed sources, this whole union was not at all legitimate, as Sinawis was said to have been scheming to break apart the union to benefit her master's wish to unify old Almador, and was said that Sareariel and even the Bardonians were in on the plan to completely dismantle Ryzan, which Bardonia was an enemy of. However, Imperial sources seem to deny this, as the union would begin to fall apart due to the declining relationship between Sareariel and Toss, as well as arguments over running the Kingdom from both the Tsar and the State Leaders of Ryzan. Upon the end of the union, Ryzan would be invaded by the Bardonians, and Sareariel would achieve the chunk of the Kingdom that she desired. She would claim that it was through divorce proceedings, and Bardonia was not involved at all, though, regardless of what she said, Sinawis' ploy was a complete success. The following day, Sareariel would proclaim that Almador was officially unified, with it's core territories back into the hands of it's rightful masters.

The end of the union bought the end of Sareariel's rule over the Ryzani nation, and would return back to ruling her own lands. She would one night, be approached by a spirit simply known as "Taranusha" would approach her. She would tell her that to achieve even greater power and ambition, and to show that the Celestialkin are truly the caretakers of the world, she is to head to a place known as Old Talawa, the old home of the Talawan people before the migrated to Uldarash to establish the First Uldarashi Empire. She would also be informed of the fall of the Talawan Empire, and that is now ruled by non-Talawan peoples, which she was told not to recognize until they install a proper Talawan to the throne, but to not concern herself with the affairs of the Second Empire, atleast for now. She would guide her on a joruney toward the old capital, where a Pyramid was present. Leaving behind her ministers to take care of the affairs of state, Sareariel would journey toward this location. The first encounter she would notice was by a series of signs which lead her to a hill. Believing this was Taranusha, she would follow them, and it would lead her to a hill, in which she would call her "Faithful". Unknown to her, this could of been the first encounter between Sareariel and Entropy, who at the time, did not made herself known to her, but reports of a strange woman was seen before vanishing. Travelling eastward, she would head along the river, and would eventually found the Pyramid. She would notice how the Pyramid was in ruins, and looted, likely by grave robbers, pillagers and bandits who passed by the abandoned settlement. Much of the buildings lied in rubble, with some of them having massive sinkholes. When she entered the Pyramid, Taranusha would encounter her again, and would whisper, that she is infact, the spirit of the city that was once here, the capitol, Taranusha. The Pharaoh who was burried here has long since went to the afterlife, but his grave and his pyramid was ruined. Before the spirit departed, she would leave two things the graverobbers didn't looted, the Khoseph and Axe of the Talawans, as well as a Pharaonic Dress, which was crafted specifically for a Talawan Pharaoh, to be worn by Sareariel. She would fit into it, and would take both of them, and felt a strange power flow through her veins. "You are indeed the blood of our people, the kin of our forefathers. Let it be known, that today, you shall be known as Pharaoh of the Talawans. We know you would not make the same mistakes we had made. Please, mighty Velereth of the Sun, your Divine Energy is destined to rule over all Talawans as it's true Queen. It's true Pharaoh.". Following these words, Sareariel would become ceremoniously Pharaoh of Old Talawa, and inheritor to Taranusha, as well as the land around it. However, due to it being abandoned and in ruins, Sareariel had chose not to take the land, and allowed it to rest peacefully, keeping her titles and the sacred items only, and returned back to Aurlûnor. Upon returning back to her home country, a man by the name of GlitchyPaladin of Froggi Town would approach the courts of the Velereth, declaring his settlement in the nation's northwestern borders with Andorn. However, the way he had presented himself was considered extremely rude, and uncultured. On recommendation by her advisors, she would prepare for a Third Barbarian Rally, executing GlitchyPaladin, and begun the First Battle of Froggi Town. The Imperial Military was victorious the first time around, but due to them hiding in the mountains, a siege was not properly mounted. The Second Battle of Froggi Town would occur, where the Anarchists would blow their own house up, and attempted to hide in the caves. Sarariel would find Pepsidotmp4 barricaded in the caves, trying to hide from the Velereth, and proceeded to slaughter her. However, more of the Anarchists would try to resist the occupation upon arrival of reinforcements lead by Ulcanis of Lhûmar came to provide extra support. Ultimately, their resistance failed, and it would mark the end of Froggi Town, ending the insurgency.

Following the Barbarian Rallies, the Great Fire of Lhûmar would occur, which would destroy 90% of the city. The cause was unknown, but about half of the treasury was wiped out, as well as much of the livestock and food stores. The reconstruction of the capital would begin, which would build over much of the old ruins. Only the foreigner district, parts of the middle class district, the two temples and the square would remain standing.

Entropy
Sareariel would have multiple encounters with Entropy. The first encounter was likely after witnessing a strange explosion in the sky, which caused Lyn, the moon, to be completely destroyed. When a shard of her body came crashing into Lhûmar, it would destroy the Imperial Palace. Looking at a piece of what destroyed it, it was apparently made of metal, and was fueled by an unknown substance to the people of Aurlûnor. The name "Tyo'on'yo Dou'wall" would be on a part of the shards. Enraged, Sareariel would present this to her court now in a special tent that would convene meetings of the court and officials. Placing all the blame on him, a unanimous agreement would happen, having "Tyo'on'yo Dou'wall" to be tortured, tormented and executed for the severe crime of sacrilegious acts to occur. However, she would never find him, as he would not be in the Empire at all.

Recalling her first encounter with strange signs near Old Talawa, Sareariel would think of a method of trying to restore Lyn. An altar, as well as a plead for the pantheon as well as all Celestial Matrons of each of the planes to assist in trying to restore Lyn to her former glory. This ploy would fail, as Entropy would ruin the ceremony, ultimately making the call useless. In attempts to better understand her, however, Sareariel would hand Entropy a flower of Celeia, before watching her just merely glaring at it, as if she was in a trance, and disappearing.

Several more times she saw Entropy appear and disappear, one of which, was during the attack on Entropy would again appear later on, where stranger things were happening, when the sun begun to bleed red. She would be encountered by Entropy in her true form in Hyperboria and would face her in combat, together with Bardonians where she would involved in the conflict as a mercenary. She would fight an onslaught that would come, and would defeat the wither that destroyed most of Hyperboria. Entropy would encounter Sareariel again, where she was in her divine temple during the Bloody Sun, where she would actually summon her to converse with her, and try to get her to see reason. Although the attempt failed, she would eventually make a deal with Entropy: ''If you leave my people alone, and give me your weapon, I will gladly not interfere in your affairs. Break your promise, and I shall unleash the wrath of the vale upon you.'' This instance was not well documented, due to the temple burning down from Entropy's lava taint, but it seemed to have been agreed upon, and Dragon's Breath was handed to Sareariel. Unknown to her, a shrine to Entropy would be erected, but no sacrifices nor anything of that sort was given, and it was quickly smashed by inquisitors. She would also question Entropy, if she was in fact, involved in the destruction of both Paxia and Jadgas, which she would deny, but Sareariel would push her to confess the truth. However much lies she was spreading, it was possible that both events were likely linked to Entropy. No artifacts of note was gained from Entropy when it came to these two places, but some interesting information was given to her about their demise.

The battle against Jazzon would be Sareariel's last encounter with Entropy. Together with Bardonia, Ardat, The Hands, Athaz and Aesop as well as most of Rathnir, they would face off against him, and his hordes, as well as Entropy and several other primordials. As apart of their deal, Entropy herself did not actively attempted to target Sareariel, but much of the fighting was done by her minions and worshippers, who were far better armed and had the ability of levitation. They would eventually emerge victorious, with Entropy departing from the world in a fury.

World Summit
Following the Entropy Crisis, things would return back to relative normalcy. The World Summit was hosted in Tlahatl, and Sareariel, in a surprising move, stated she was interested in coming, shocking the court. Despite a policy of isolationism, the Velereth decided it was the best opportunity for her to represent the nation's interests and address issues there that had plagued the Empire, as well as telling other nations that they are not to be hampered with. Governor Aesop would be picked as her main diplomat, and Zax, a person who recently loyally followed the Velereth, also offered to come as protection. Soon enough, she would have her chance to speak on the podium of the World Summit twice, where she would address the issues of their nation, telling them that they were isolationist, addressing the bandits and barbarians that had raided multiple settlements in the empire, as well as announcing to the world, that Entropy is not a Goddess, and that she is a "Very Powerful Heretic", and how Gods can be killed. This would also be the first proper time where she met Herb Dashwell, the owner of Apollo Radio in person, rather than via radio waves.

The Revision
Sareariel would partake in the Ferryman Conflicts, in which she would become one of the leading generals in a large conflict. The Velande would be attacked by the Ferrymen, who would presumably be responsible for the Great Fire of Helemar. At first, it was regarded that these attacks were conducted by normal and ordinary barbarians. However, the influx of Messenger Pigeons came about, and even sent an insulting letter to her. As a result, the Velereth had Orwa Sinawis recalled to the capital, and took a map of Viodoxa, in which she would point to Istanboulder, which was located in Viodoxa, an Empire located far far away from their current location. Regardless, she would have her army march out toward the location, and joined the coalition that was stationed near it, who was also partaking in the war. The battle would prove to be one of the worst tactical disasters in Sareariel's history. At the midpoint of the battle, Sareariel would lead her force toward the northern gates of Istanboulder, due to a miscommunication made by the commander, BackToTheHub. This error would lead her troops north of the city, isolating her with three Ferrymen Forces, nearly killing her before being saved by a former hands member named Yaykei. During the withdraw, Yaykei would assist the Aurlûnoren forces back to Lhûmar, in which, was reported that the Velereth would throw up a liquid black tar before disappearing into the square's center. This would be the last reported sighting of the Velereth for an entire month.

The Velereth would re-appear following a month after disappearance. Her scars would heal, but the gashes and injuries she sustained would dramatically change her face and arm. Some feared that she fell for Entropy's taint. However, when she opened her eyes, they were clearly the same color as the stars themselves, with a distinct glow and movement to them. After this, the Velereth would revisit much of her policy, changing the Empire to a bit more of an open stance, and would go on to negotiate a new peace between Ryzan, and the Velande, handing back territory that was taken away during the dismantlement of the previous political union they were both bound by. This imperial decree was met with backlash from the more hardline supporters of the Velereth, not recognizing this, and it remains claimed today, despite the treaty dissolving all claims made against it.

Sareariel would proceed to also re-marry, and become the wife of Lucius von Savras, effectivley also becoming Kaiserrin of Andorn, achieving a life-long ambition to have de facto control over Areska. Though, oddly enough, she didn't pursued this claim, and would instead, seek closer relations with Bardonia. Finally, after over months of co-operation, Bardonia would sign an alliance with the Velande, cementing their relationship on the world stage. Multiple incidents would occur such as insurgency made by outsiders, but this was quickly dealt with due to the evergrowing power of the Velande's newfound strength. Sareariel would however, go on a two month expedition to the west, leaving Sel Leyla-Earcala, a former high priestess of The Kingdom of Yürki, to become Regent of the country. Upon her return, Sareariel was extremely shocked to find the Empire doing even better than before. Prior to her departure, Sareariel would have three children with Shǔwà Gāngshivaè, a Asarāvijān whom she married about two years ago, where she travelled to Tengaesal when she was personally invited by Nero Terazawa Shigetada of Plagatéa.

Death
For the next five years, Sareariel's reign would be peaceful, but many things had happened to her in which changed her viewpoints multiple times. For one, Sareariel would be a founding member of the Syltör League, but due to the War in Ryzan, the previous processes that she had built up with Ryzan had suddenly shattered completely, and confidence with the people of Ryzan had seen a decline, especially after the annexation of Deutzan as apart of the Aurlûnoren-Ryzani Border Dispute. She would also form a rather close friendship with Hazel McSpiegel, who was also Valen McSpiegel in a previous lifetime, and would even visit the Vale with her, making Hazel the first non-Twin Dragon practitioner to do so.

The events of the Red Sun caused by unknown causes start to see Sareariel go down, what Orwa Sinawis described, a "decline in health and sanity". Sareariel would begin to start making rash decisions, and act much more hostile towards those around her, in which, the taint on her scar would start to show, with it changing from purple to red, as the sun kept bleeding. This would eventually cause her to go on her bed, and by October 20, 940ACA, feel herself be nearing death, with a sudden, strange announcement of the dissolution of the Aurlûnor Velande. This caused widespread panic, shock and revolt from nearly everyone throughout. However, this would also be the last time she would be seen in public, as shortly after an hour from her daughters, mostly Lanfen, speaking up about this, together with Orwa, Sareariel would state that Lanfen was to be coronated the next Velereth, and had the court as well as the populace's order to be restored. Sinawis would restore Sareariel's popularity somewhat, stating that it is due to the red sun that caused her to act in such a way. Hazel in a letter, would be made Celestial Matron of Celeia, and even gave a part of herself to her as a way to still keep her presence on the world, so she may carry out her duties easily, and would pass away.

Second Reign
Sareariel would return to the world of Celeia on December 21, 942ACA, where she would publically make an appearance in Lhûmar's Dragon Square. This shocking return, would be met with rather mixed feedback. While a large majority of the population was excited, some remained skeptical, such as the now fallen out friend, Hazel, and Oranje Blackwater. Regardless, Sareariel would visit Hazel once more, and, with her odd shocking surprise, Hazel was furious with her. Sareariel did not understood why she was so angry, let alone, actually remembered what she did before leaving to the Vale. Infact, the whole events of that very year, was not at all retained in memory. Even though Hazel remembers, due to an anchor of Sareariel still being in her, the other does not. All Sareariel remembers, was that she saw nothing but red, and greys all over, with no control over her body, nor actions, causing her to suddenly realize, that it was indeed Huayin that she saw many times over, even with Hazel there observing it. It was due to this whole revelation, that many things changed in the world, and she had to catch up with it.

During this reign, she would also meet an Ice Elf half queen named Eliyawin Yinower-Nuwan, whom she grew fond of, and fell inlove with, especially with fondness over her beautiful looks, and mid-aged wisdom. At the same time, she would particularly took a liking for Kori, the Diarch of Knossos, after meeting him during a summit of the newly established Dragonfruit Alliance made by the Velande prior to her return. Finally, she would have the chance of meeting Poldi Paloro in Paloro while Sareariel was in Neos Knossos, whom she believed that he would make a rather good match with, as he seemed to not really particularly care about many things, such as him wanting to marry into her family, as his country is small, yet a rather ideal area in Haven. Under recommendation by Orwa Sinawis to help spread her influence more globally in terms of her dynasty without having to raise the sword, Sareariel would send marriage proposals to these three, which to her surprise, all accepted, and arranged to have a wedding on January 1, 943ACA in Lûnwirmar, acquiring herself the title as Queen of Paloro, First Queen of the Diarchy, and Wife of the Yirsidani of Anglunia.

The Mithran Conflict
In the same year, she had found out through reports by a resident living in Sawiyah Oasis, that apparently, a broken piece of banner was discovered on their yard. Another report of a banner came, after a patrol found north of Lhûmar, belonging to a foreign Kingdom. After investigating this, Sareariel would order two expeditions to head out, and scout the areas that were apart of the Fifth Barbarian Rally. This extensive search would come to an end after a few months, where reports showed that there was indeed, another banner belonging to the same Kingdom. Night Falcon reports would state that this belonged to the the Kingdom of Mithra, in which, outrage would be expressed by her top generals. Realizing that that Mithra was a threat, Sareariel would begin drafting a declaration of war against Mithra. Azan Shaer, governor of Sharla Province, alongside Se-khem-ka, the minister of commerce, would report that Bardonia to the east, declared war on Mithra, and that if she wanted to declare war, she should join the Bardonian side. Agreeing to this, Sareariel would rally the Dragon Army to war, and prepared to fight the Mithrans. However, a few days after the militaries met with the allied forces, Sareariel would receive word that Mithra surrendered in her tent. Annoyed that the Mithrans refused to fight, Sareariel met with the allied leaders, namely her husband, Lucius von Savras about this, as well as the other Autarch Azrael Arden-Astera and Tsar Yazov, including her husband King Kori, whom she called upon to fight alongside with. The signing of the Treaty of Tlahatl would also begin a rather large coalition, involving the Velande, much to the dismay of the Velereth, but had to face reality that the Velande can no longer stay neutral.

Syltör's Dragon of the West
The increase in tensions between the Bardonians and the rest of the continent has begun to worsen. The destruction of Andorn and simultaneous collapse of Bardonia caused a power vaccum in the region. Sareariel has begun to increasingly have the Velande's position in the world increase by guaranteeing independence of Andorn, converting citizens in Alda to Twin Dragon, creating closer ties to Ryzan, and co-operating with TheBigPeople of Avondale to create the Northern Star Coalition.

The Poultry War was a war that would occur over a goblin by the name of Travatar, who's friend, Joe, would claim that his chickens were slaughter indiscrimitivly. Though Sareariel wanted to do a trial, the two would accuse her of sending men to kill the chickens, and assembled an invasion force to attack the Velande. This attack, however fell apart quickly as many of the original army members fell to interfighting, leaving Travatar to surrender, and moving to Askonia.

The reformation of a Fifth Bardonian Empire by the Pirate State of Barbossa has lead to negative reaction from the Velereth herself, and lead to a souring in relations between her and the Bardonians. Initially supporting the Kingdom of Bardonia, the new Empire would absorb much of the original citizens, who were strongly against it themselves.

Abdication
The external threats to the east had grown tremendously, with much of the Velande's power decreasing by day. Sareariel would receive a threat from the Soleannen Imperium to have her step down from her position as Velereth, namely due to the fact that the Soleannen Imperium's Emperor, Yazov, does not like her, and did not stated a reason. Figuring dark times would come, Sareariel would start to grow under the impressions that perhaps her rule would not last longer than more than the end of the year. The increasing threats by day, and attempted plan to try and save the Velande by Tsarina Shan Yazovich was rejected, as Sareariel would know that if the plan was to be executed, it would cause many citizens to turn on her.

Despite the plan's failure, the ambitious Josbar, thought to have mended ties with the Velande, went rogue, and rallied a huge army behind him. Backed by multiple foreign powers, such as the Soleannen Imperium, which he promised to not get involved during his ultimatum, Sareariel was backed into a corner. Knowing that this was not the way of the Celestial Matron to go out, especially with his threats to attempt and end the Velande, as well as her peoples way of life, Sareariel would order the military to go into general mobilization, and eventually, full out mobilization, to strengthen defenses and training.

On Yun 4, 947ACA, Sareariel, despite having overwhelming support behind her with the people, and connections to powerful allies, abdicated the throne, and announced an "Eternal Regency" lead by Mao Meili, and the Imperial Court. She would proceed to depart Lhûmar the following day, together with Orwa Sinawis, who had also resigned her position as Phoenix Advisor, leaving her Imperial Guard and House Guard behind with Meili. Sareariel would be last seen leaving to the docks on a large junk, heading towards Haven

Life as a Private Citizen
Sareariel would arrive in the city of Heart's Bay, where she would have her carriage travel to the city of Ziemia in Hearthstone, where she would meet once again with the daughter of ScotchKnight and Queen, Joan K. B. Bolodrav. Sareariel would be given a new place to live, which it would be an abandoned shack, beginning to rebuild it, while Orwa was given her own area of the land to build on. Her husband, Kori, would follow her, and together, they would have four children.

Final Death
Sareariel would pass away once more in the year 1001ACA, this time permanently. The cause of her final death was through a mortality potion that was was thought to be impossible to gain known as the Elixr of Mortality, where it was made from a rare herb found deep within Lothranis, and a stone found deep within Momaganon. She would die at mortal age of 309, and would have a peaceful death at best. The Velande mourned her passing, as well had a tribute to her. Her grave, as well as her husk is located in eastern Ziemia's fields, which was promptly renamed to "Velereth Fields" in her honor. The area is owned by the Vale Mandate of Endanor as an enclave, and the area is considered a holy site. Her remains were not yet asked to be bought back to Lhûmar or to her original village in Old Dun where she was born.

Her inheritance, as well as her possessions, wealth and property would be passed down to Pyrrha Lelya-Earcala on her final will.

Appearance
Sareariel stands at around 6'2 (187.96cm) high, and sports a curvy body size to accompany her look. Her ears appear to be shaped a bit rounder and more refined than other Celestial Elves, though before her immortality, it was said that her left ear was bent a bit to the right. Her eyes started to vary upon the varying stages of her age, but her natural eye color has been confirmed to be Jade upon multiple samples of DNA she voluntarily have given to her Imperial scientists, mostly to Aesop Hexen, who is also the governor of Tacua Province. Her eyecolor would become Golden until the year 936ACA after The Ferrymen War, where she would re-descend healed, but with firey blue eyes.

Her skin color is pale, but since the Ferryman War, had a streak of purple, much like a primodial Celestial Elf, confirming that she actually carries Vale being blood in her. It is unknown how she got the color, since she doesn't remember being healed, but it doesn't appear to hurt, and the blood that flows through is a strange purple, which transitions into regular red dragon blood. She sports scales along her body, but are hard to see, as well as being one of the few recorded Celestial Elves to have a dragon tail, which is a bearded long yellow tail.

In most appearances, Sareariel wears very bright yellow robes, which has a sash with both the dragons on it, decorated. She sports a necklace made of jade, which has inscriptions on it written in Old Almadorian, and has a headpiece that is known as the Divine Crown. Sareariel has a battle uniform, and often uses it whenever she is conducting a military campaign, or at military parades.

In recent times, Sareariel sports a common green silk outfit, which is basic in design. Although the garments appear to be that of a higher status, Sareariel also employs some more lesser cotton outfits, and linen Boulderovi style dresses.

Though she wears slippers and wears undergarments underneath her robes, Sareariel goes around her more private quarters barefoot, or when she's out of sight in Lhûmar, and doesn't wear undergarments when court sessions aren't being held. Sometimes, she will appear naked, but this is when she is meditating in a rather secluded location, as it is more of a spiritually religious thing to make her feel closer to the world. More recently, she has been going around more barefoot around her property, giving more liberties of not having to be in proper attire as much as she used to.

Sareariel is immortal, and therefore is permanently equal to that of a fourty-two year old, inheriting the same conditions, problems and other sorts of things that a regular fourty-two year old equivalent her age would have.

Personality
Sareariel has always been recorded to be a serious, yet polite individual. She is someone who is quite blunt about the truth, but can also be seen as a rather strange person when interacting with foreigners, or people who she sees in her visions. Often, she will outline many things that would be considered either philosophical or theological, often leading her to loose herself into the conversation. Regardless however, she appears to be well-mannered, and hardly shows any form of disrespect when speaking to someone, even if they're a foreigner, usually showing restraint when she has opinions, or when she is eating, which she uses proper utensils and clearing her throat. These pleasant behaviors usually earn her the wing of friendship rather easily.

Sareariel is an extremely religious person, usually taking her faith, Twin Dragon very seriously. She will often meditate, and spiritually attempt to connect with the world, and the Vale. These meditations usually make Sareariel say rather strange things that others may not fully understand or comprehend, hinting that she might have a seventh sense, which is unexplainable in a normal sense.

Despite her status of being worshipped as a God by her followers, Sareariel absolutely dislikes it, and is often disgusted whenever she finds people carve statues in her liking, and even being worshipped in temples. It has got to the point, where in 910ACA, she would outlaw any and all depictions of herself in terms of a religious icon in the city of Lhûmar and Sachómar, which came to the confusion of the practitioners of the Celestial Matron in the Twin Dragon Pantheon. She expresses strong dismay that she is a divine in any sense, despite her time and time again, showing examples that she is one to the eyes of the people. She often calls her immortality a "curse", and even commissioned Aesop to create a potion to reverse her immortality, so that she may grow old, and pass away from natural causes. Since she cannot be killed by normal means, this is one of the only ways she can die.

Family
The Lelya-Earcala Dynasty is the primary branch of Sareariel's family. She has three other siblings, which at this time, are of unknown status, who may likely be deceased due to how long ago they had lived, and not received immortality. Sareariel's family is extensive due to her marrying many men and women over the course of her long life. It is rumored that multiple great grandchildren of Sareariel live to this day, but they are unconfirmed to be either dead or alive. Currently, Sareariel has multiple husbands and wives, which she refers to as the Dragon Harem.
