Elyria Yazi

Elyria II Yazi was the last sultana of the Sultanate of Chorene, grand daughter of a Kakar II. She hails from the powerful Yazi family whose dynasty has controlled the Chorenese for centuries. A 27-year-old Elyria rose to prominence in 1409 after she initiated the Last Olive War in response to the cruelty of Cuphan Pitch-Black, who had installed himself as Emir of Pendosis and castrated the former Sultan's son and married his daughter.
== Reign ==
Elyria captured Konaya and attacked Pendosis twice. On her second siege of the city, the townsfolk opened the gates to let her army in and while the two sides fought, she located Cuphan and defeated him in single combat. 
The spitting image of warrior queen, the noble lords gave control of the Chorene lands to Elyria, who became Sultana Elyria II in the same year and established a peaceful reign. She made trade deals and alliances with the Free Cities and the Ayyubs, and with other Magnian states. She developed trade and culture throughout the region and sent her youngest daughter to clear the Astentine Shallows for pirates to secure naval trade.
== Death ==
On 1428, on a diplomatic visit to Vichin, where a week-long tourney had been prepared in her honour, Elyria was seized by the Cister Cartian church, accused of adultery and homosexuality, all of which she was guilty of, and without the consent of the King, they executed her on the steps of the White Marble Plaza, a devastating blow to Chorene, which led to the Coup on Orak and the Dissolution War.
