==Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Hadanna was born in one of the Yirsi settlements in the dark oak forests of Three Fingers in the winter of 96 TE. Her household wasn't large: just herself, her parents - the then head of House Lochatlan Aspina Domach-Lochatlan and her husband Alsey Achdar-Lochatlan - and her older brother Loays. At the time of her birth the family resided near the remains of Lynnar Lochatlan, ruling over the few lands they had left. There was but a small group of people loyal to the house ever after the majority of their lands was subjugated by the quickly gaining power Kingdom of Anglunia; and, over time, it was going further and further into decline.
In the year 113 TE they lost their last remaining lands, the year when Hadanna turned 17. Her family was shaken, and as all of their retinue had sworn allegiance to their new Anglunian rulers, they had no other choice but to cope and keep on living as regular commoners.
It was about at this time that Hadanna met her future spouse, Dardellan Yinower-Nuwan, son of the previous yirsidan of Anglunia Yinower Delas-Nuwan. It happened on a misty spring day, when Achdar and Aspina were occupied with some business of theirs during a trip to Arrowfell, a massive fortress town on an island by the forest edge. Whilst her parents were away, Hadanna was left to her own devices, walking around, exploring every nook and cranny of the gloomy ancient fortress. She didn't notice how she stumbled upon Dardellan, who was having a stroll enjoying the looks of the bustling river under the walls. The young man charmed Hadanna, and many nights afterwards she could not help but recall that brief moment when she first saw him.
She kept her passion secret from her parents, and when the family embarked on the next trip to the fortress, Hadanna waited for the best moment when her parents were too busy to notice, and ran straight off into the backstreets. And there on the castle walls she saw him again; this time, called forth all her courage, she approached Dardellan, thus making her wishes come true. Soon after they first met, they became friends; a little bit later, and they're already more than that - a couple. A few more seasons, and the young lovers celebrated their wedding, soon after which Hadanna gave birth to her first child Erendryel.
As her native village was quickly descending into an unorganised state with its population leaving their homes in hope of leading a better life in other parts of the kingdom, Hadanna and her family decided to bid farewell to the dear places and move to the newly founded yirsi town of Norstaeyya in 116 TE.
===Adulthood===
Hadanna's family was in a rather rough situation: no longer nobles, stripped of their lands and possessions, abandoned by their once loyal subjects, they moved to the brand new and yet sparsely populated town of Norstaeyya, which onsyr Feyer Yinower-Nuwan had just recently resigned. She was forced to work side by side with her parents in order for her family to get by, and day to day she would find herself in the fields and construction sites, reaching out for every opportunity to earn for her and her family's living. Before long, Hadanna became well known among the town's populace as a strong-willed and diligent maiden, always ready to help those in trouble.
Because Dardellan was bound to Arrowfell by his job, whilst Hadanna was constantly busy working her life out to support her family, she had no other choice but to leave Erendryel with her husband. It took her many sleepless nights to decide, and alas, with great sorrow, she sent away her beloved son, hoping that by his father's side he will have a chance for a better life.
The town itself at that time was stuck in a predicament. The new candidate for the title of its onsyr was Iliphar Ilyhuryn-Dagella, who was soon found guilty of harbouring ill intentions towards the town as he was planning to destroy the entirety of Norstaeyya for it to be rebuilt over. A major outrage among the local population followed, and it wasn't long before Iliphar, pressured by the masses, was forced to resign. Hadanna was one of the key figures in his resignation, and due to herself being well known and respected in Norstaeyya, the populace nominated her as the new candidate. The same year, 126 TE, ten years after she moved places, Hadanna's candidature was approved, and she was appointed as tilonsyr.
==Career==
=== Lord of Norstaeyya ===
Hadanna was firmly determined to lead Norstaeyya to prosperity and make it a respectful town. Her first project in the town was a massive temple dedicated to Ilonnis, the goddess of beauty and envy in the Arternaian pantheon. Its construction took a lot of time an effort and was finished in about 144 TE. Its massive scale and awe instilling grandeur made it stand above any other Arternaian temple in the region: its huge turquoise domes of copper, tall and thick walls lined with Norstaeyyan iconic white stone, and the sky-high statue of an angelic spirit in the front. It was most assuredly a grand project that boosted the town's popularity and later on had a major role in the propagation of a different religion, Soleviel, in Anglunia.
After the temple was finished, Hadanna laid out plans for a new residential area, which she named Umnarabad due to its position near a small spruce hill; built a new communal farm for the citizens and started constructing a large cactus factory near the town centre.
Due to the influx of new citizens and vast development of Norstaeyya during Hadanna's reign, she was promoted to onsyr in the year 137 TE, thus becoming a full-fledged lord and ruler of the town. As she now stood on par with other nobles as a feudal, Lochatlans were no longer considered landless commoners, and the house gained its long lost power once again. The dark age of House Lochatlan was finally over.
=== Soleviel priest and missionary ===
A cold winter day of 146 TE the town was visited by Vix Moreau-Aulian, the king of Valreach and a missionary of Soleviel. The man spoke much about his religion and among all others who listened to his preaches was Hadanna, who was frankly inspired by the tales of old gods and saints. Although ever since her birth she had been brought up in the ways of Arternaia, the priest's eloquence prevailed over her conservatism and, before long, she decided she was going to join the new faith and bring it to other areas of Anglunia. After a long three years of thinking she took her final decision and headed out for the cathedral of Saint-Auberion, where she was baptised and initiated as a priest in order to spread the faith among the Yirsi.
During her work as a missionary Soleviel gained a lot of new disciples and was represented on the national festival of the Augurs of Unity on the year 153 TE. Hadanna did a good job at propagating the faith: she brought it not only to her town's population with converting the temple of Ilonnis, but a whole different onsyrdom, Ashenvale, where a new temple was built in 156 TE. She was promoted to deacon, taking under her wing two new priests of Soleviel: the Tilvindlayin Norst Warrie von Fyra-Tjugo, and her own daughter Mash Dardellan-Lochatlan. For her outstanding achievements in spreading the religion Hadanna was given the epithet 'Blesser of Anglunia' among the clergy.
After getting converted in a large conversion event into the Arternaian faith she left the clergy of Soleviel and the impact she made faded from Anglunia with the Anglunian government supporting conversion to the Aternaian faith.

=== Tilonsyr ===
When Feyer Yinower-Nuwan resigned as Onsyr of Norstaeyya the winter of 115 TE. The new onsyr was announced in the winter of 126 TE and Iliphar Ilyhuryn-Dagella was the new one. He was one of Anglunias most experienced builders but not a Norstaeyyan local, as the people there would've liked. So when Iliphar announced that he was planning on destroying the whole town and rebuild it with a completly different style the people were outraged. After some discord PvP Iliphar Ilyhuryn-Dagella resigned in the autumn of year 126 TE. So as one of the main Norstaeyyans Hadanna Alsey-Lochatlan stepped up and wanted to take over the leadership of the town. So in the autumn of 127 TE Hadanna Alsey-Lochatlan was declared Tilonsyr of Norstaeyya. The reason Hadanna did'nt become Onsyr was because of Norstaeyyas small active population and her unpopularity in the vindyi after the Pro War Party conroversy. 
=== Onsyr ===
After a while in the autumn of Hadanna had done a good job with the town and had been a bit layed back from politics. With a new Yirsidan in charge she asks for Norstaeyya to once again become an Onsyrdom. Yirsidan Zehros Elzar-Rezuraia agrees and puts it up for a vote in the vindyi. In the promotion proces is done and Hadanna officialy becomes the Onsyr of Norstaeyya. This grants her a seat in the vindyi.
=== New Anglunian Saint's Party ===

Hadanna was invited to the party adn she decided to join her good friend. the party proved to be succesfull with Yinower becomming the Chancellor after the elections of 142 TE.

The onsyrs in her region didnt ask for much help though and as a result of that she rarely helped other onsyrs. She resigned as Tilvindlayin in the spring of to make room for higher government positions. She suggested that her replacement schould be her friend and future son in law Warrie von Fyra-Tjugo.
=== Vice chancellor ===
Hadanna are good friends with chancellor Yinower Yinower-Nuwan. Halfway thru his first chancellor term he got sick from a disease. To help him out the Yirsidan agreed to asign Hadanna Alsey-Lochatlan as Vice chancellor. Hadanna put in hard work as the vice chancellor and earned respect from the Yirsidan [ehros Elzar-Rezuraia. The elections of 157 TE ends in a tie for the chancellor position, in between Yinower Yinower-Nuwan and his nephhew Yinsaghal Eliyawin-Nuwan. They agree on having a co-chansellorship. This eliminates the need of a vice chancellor so the position that so quickly came to be was as quickly removed.
