Amarika Ludlow †

“Love, this is why we aren’t taken seriously by the bigger Houses. You have the right idea to let Claire take her time finding someone she loves, but that is not how power is gained. My father understood power. That’s why he promised me to you.”Lady Amarika of the Ludlow Accord was born 972AE to parents Keyair Heartstone and Celia Heartstone. She was their second daughter and was married to Mancel Ludlow. She had five children with him: Claire Ludlow, Jennifer Ludlow, (twins) Casim Ludlow, Aimee Ludlow and Eason Ludlow. She would have been mother to another set of twins if not for her death. 
She was a much-loved member of the ruling house of Caybourne, well-respected and known for her charity. 
1014 AE, Last Moon - Amarika was murdered by a shapeshifter who took the form of her daughter Jennifer (murdered only moments earlier). She was pregnant at the time with twins too young to be identified by gender.

“You can come to love this man. And there are other things in life to become passionate about, even if your marriage does not fill you with that. I was one of the lucky ones. But even if you do feel true passion for this man, do not be surprised if it ebbs and flows. That’s life. And that’s love.”
* Betrothed to Mancel Ludlow since infancy. They married when she was fifteen and he thirty but did not consummate the marriage for some time as they grew into their new roles with each other.
* Understands power comes before love in the world of nobility. Is thankful she and Mancel found both.
