Talaraeza Selbalada, The First Matriarch

Talaraeza (al-Arazi) Selbalada is a career soldier born on
Lushanea.  She entered service at a young
age as is customary of her people’s warrior origins.  Through concentrated determination and grit,
she rose through the ranks, sitting comfortably at ‘amid, or Brigadier
General.  She caught the eye of her
superior, Nordenar Selbalada, and the two eventually married.  The two managed to keep their relationship
strictly professional with Talaraeza even being reprimanded by Nordenar for
mistakes she made several times.  She was
folded into the Ouroboros Assault Corps under Nordenar’s command when he was
given the task of taking a slaver fleet out to the Aegian system to attempt to
subjugate the newly settling Dragonians. 
The husband and wife duo inflicted heavy damage on the Dragonians with
their hard-hitting and lightning fast attacks alongside the regular Lushanean
army troops led by Nalbena Al-Hazzim. 
The campaign was eventually lost once the Empire of Corsair assisted
Dragonia and smashed the slaver fleet. 
Talaraeza was one of only 15 members of her entire assault group to escape;
her husband was killed in battle.
Despite this setback, she returned to Lushanea with
accolades which generally does not happen during a lost campaign and it was
relayed to her that the Lushanean High Command was paying close attention to
the updates in the files sent to them of the campaign and Talaraeza was then
tasked with developing battle strategies for combating the troops in that
sector when they make their return. 
Talaraeza was promoted to Moshir in Nordenar’s stead and she went on to
serve until she died of old age after bringing thousands of victories to the
Lushanean Empire.
In her honor, every generation of her bloodline has one
female named Talaraeza and she must serve in the military of the Empire of
Lushanea.  Her bloodline also has the
distinct honor of having all of the spouses who marry Talaraeza have their last
names changed to “Selbalada” to ensure that the bloodline continues, thus
making her bloodline a matriarchal system.
