Larka Lockwood

"I have given up everything I was meant to be, Matthias, to be here and to rule by your side. I will not be given any less than I am due."
 Born into one of the most important tribes in Esterwyn, Clan Fellcrag, she was raised to become her grandmother's successor as High Chief of Esterwyn. 
However, when she was fifteen years old her people led a raid on Gatharbar in retaliation for a grave insult - in the ensuing chaos Queen Senna was murdered and Larka was captured.
Taken as a prisoner of war, she remained in a tower for over a year - making several attempts at escape, often violently, but never succeeding. Eventually peace was reached between the two countries and as a way of ensuring that peace Larka was to marry King Matthias. This marriage occurred on her eighteenth birthday. 
The two absolutely despised each other for the first two years of their marriage, but held fast to their duties and attempted to conceive a child to secure the Lockwood line, though any female children were to be sent to Esterwyn to be raised by Clan Fellcrag. 
Larka became pregnant when she was twenty-three years old, the pregnancy was very difficult and hard on her physically along with other emotional stressors. However, during this time she and Matthias became close - at least on friendly terms. The child, who was to be named Prince Kieran, was stillborn and Larka fell into a deep depression and neglected her health for months after the traumatizing incident.
At twenty-five she has only just truly begun the road to recovery, this was when she and her husband were invited to a soiree held by the Lord and Lady of the Masquerade. After a Pryvethi Lordling brought up Prince Kieran in a very callous way, Queen Larka retreated to the library to try and gather her wits where she was promptly thrown into a battle for her life against assassins, with the help of the players she managed to fend off her attackers. 
She accompanied the party deep under the palace to find out why she was the victim of such an attempt on her life - she left with more questions than answers. 
Her daughter Wilhelmina Lockwood was born on 3 Ekisen 632 Lys
