Elyani Taygen-Blizun

Queen Elyani Taygen-Blizun is the Queen of Anglunia and the daughter of Queen Niryanis Morgas-Blizun and an unknown father. She is married to King Skippy the Gnome of Phoenia. She is the first monarch of Anglunia.

Early life
Elyani Taygen-Blizun was born not very long before the formation of the Kingdom of Anglunia. Born in wealth and luxury, yet born as a bastard, Elyani was born to Queen Niryanis Morgas-Blizun of Isaz and an unknown father. Though her very existence was met with protest at first, it soon became apparent that the Queen had become barren, Elyani thus being her only heir. In the years of slavery at the hands of Gnomes and the Great Gnome war, House Blizun had almost completely died out.

Elyani still experienced a tougher childhood than most heir apparents, as her status as bastard caused her to be shunned by other nobles. Her mother still loved her, however, and taught her everything she knew about statescraft. Her being a Hyakki also caused her to be looked down upon by some of the more racist humans in the court, something that Elyani would change later in her life.

Queen of Isaz
At the mere age of fifteen, Elyani's mother died of a plague that ravaged Nefelis, and the young heir was crowned Queen of Isaz. She quickly gained trust from her court, making sure no one would betray her. Of course, betrayal was a common practise in Anglunian politics.

Not long after her birth, Nefelis was also colonized by Viodoxa, and she worked to stop this colonization. She held a summit with the most powerful lords in Nefelis, and united with them to form the Kingdom of Anglunia, headed by her as Queen and three other Great Lords: Lauge of Rannikko, Baeyzil Menoskairós of Alundhya and Welpish, a foreign warlord who would support them in the fight against Viodoxa. Later, Lord Ky of Myrtle would join Anglunia as well.

Viodoxa
Instead of a war, it was decided that independence would be bought. For a great sum, the Great Lords paid for independence, but it was still not enough. Around this time, a young nobleman by the name of Yinower Delas-Nuwan would also enter her court, eventually aiding in the purchase for independence.

Tensions rose with Viodoxa, and still, diplomacy was chosen above war, and another price would be paid, mostly by Yinower and Welpish. The Kingdom of Anglunia had set its foot on Eldham, yet it was still not safe.

Andoran-Lechjan War
Anglunia's alliances with surrounding nations would lead it into war against Andor, a powerful nation to the south. The Warlord Welpish helped defeat them, and Anglunia grew in size yet again, gaining the cities of Calamdor and Saint's Port.

Clown War & Larp Rebellion
These times would be the toughest for Queen Elyani Taygen-Blizun, as her misjudgement of the situation with Raptor caused him to enact a rebellion against Anglunia. In a moment of security for the nation, she granted independence to Raptor, Lord of the Black Citadel but upon realizing how weak it made her seem, she went back on the promise. On top of that, the Great Lords would have to vote on the matter.

A war of propaganda followed, and at the same time she had to keep her new vassals happy. She trusted Yinower Delas-Nuwan with these vassal troubles, but even for him, it was too much. Two civil wars, the Clown War and the Larp Rebellion, would divide the nation, and rebuild it. She won both wars, with her diplomatic might and the military might of Anglunia.
