Teres-Magda'laena III

"Ah, how I long for the days of old. My kingdom, a haven of heroes and the just, once more, rather than a stinking mess with a flat-face king" 
Teres-Magda'lena III, also known as Terese-Magdalena in her native Vandian, is the Arkonic half-elf empress-dowager of the Empire of Ichovia. Born near not long before the start of the 12th Era, Teres grew up as the eldest daughter of the Duke of Vandeburg, a small city-state on the continent of Laurentine. She was soon married off to Goriath Valar, the son of the count of Fosh'sal, a county in the northwest of Ichovia. 
Teres grew up dreadfully enamored with her promised husband, and when Goriath was chosen by the goddess Saphira to become the new emperor of Ichovia, she was crowned empress. Though her half-elven blood gave her twice the lifespan of a human, that was not the case for her husband. When he died, the crown was then succeeded to his son, and then his son, each increasingly incompetent. Ever since leading a failed revolt against the Ichovian crown, empress-dowager Teres has been under house-arrest at the Grand Cloister of High Ichovia, located in the city of the same name.
