Lagertha

Lagertha Moreau Aulian, the Queen of Nidaros, High Queen of Valreach and Head of House Moreau. She ruled alongside King Vin Helianthus of Nidaros for 6 years, up until the unification between the Kingdom of Nidaros and The Isle of Nujh, where Lagertha held the title of Queen of the West, referring to her family's strong hold over the first capital of Valreach, Eradios. After a failed rebellion led by Lagertha's husband, she took over as Valrean Diarch.

Lagertha ruled alongside King Vix for 14 years as Diarch, where she faced a cold war against neighbour nation, the Republic of Amarillo. After marrying Vix and merging house Moreau and Aulian, Valreach was formed as a constitutional monarchy. After a short uprising in the South of Valreach, West Drakaar, Lagertha is left as High Queen of Valreach where she currently sits on her throne in the Castle of Nidaros

Early Years
Lagertha grew up homeless on the streets of Akirashalam, on the north coast of Aristios, her parents abandoning her. As a young girl, she was forced to fend for herself, surviving on stolen food and water. At the age of 10, Lagertha was found and adopted by the mayor of the city, Boru Bureika. By 14, Lagertha was a renowned fighter, skilful with both short swords and Dane Axes. She spent her days training, exploring and hunting in the forests of Aristios.

Nido Games
The Nido Games was when the 18 year old Lagertha, met her first husband, King Vin of Nidaros. The two married on the last day of the Games, on top of the Royal Balcony in the mist of the fighting within the stadium arena. The marriage was a turning point in Lagertha's life, making her the First Queen of Nidaros.

The First Queen of Nidaros
Lagertha encountered a very peaceful reign over Nidaros, fighting in the Second Virconian Kibris war, defeating and killing Ananas within the Kibris keep. Her reign over Nidaros ended after 6 years as Queen due to the the reunification between Nidaros and the Isle of Nujh.

Valreach
After the reunification between the two kingdoms, Lagertha was consort Queen and first heir to the Helianthus throne. She stayed as Queen to the Helianthus throne for 9 years up until the Holy Drakaen Empires rebellion against the central Valrean government.

The Helianthus Rebellion
The Holy Drakaen Empire, or the Helianthus rebellion was the start of the dark age for the house. After the head of house, King Vin, led the rebellion against the central Valrean government, Helianthus was seen as a disgraced house. The family was close to being exiled out of their homes, pushed out of the nation. Lagertha, being mortally wounded after a siege on a bandit outpost, was unconscious for the rebellion, waking up after it had been brutally suppressed by the central government. Once Vin had been exiled to the Helianthus manor, the Valrean government replaced the old king with Lagertha, this was the start of Lagertha's reign over Valreach.

The Helianthus Fire
The Helianthus Fire was the end of the Helianthus Dark Age. Taking place 6 years after the rebellion, it was one of the bloodiest events in Valrean history. The fire took the lives of Elowin Helianthus, Ares Helianthus and Vin Helianthus, leaving Lagertha, Bjorn and Maria the last surviving members of the Helianthus house. Weeks after the massacre, the now head of house Queen Lagertha, reformed the house, into its current state, House Moreau, meaning darkness, symbolising the stain the dark age had left on the house and its members.
