Thadylia Laydern

== Overview ==
Lady Thadylia Laydern was a female member of the Ephellindronian noble House Laydern and daughter of eminent scholar, Seldor Laydern. Lady Thadylia was famously the sole member of King Rickon II Grenthyx's Royal Advisory Council throughout his entire thirteen-year reign. Thadylia's father Seldor had tutored the formerly-Prince Rickon II as a boy and the royal returned the favour by later tutoring the opportunistic scholar's daughter. Thadylia's pedagogic relationship with the King began when she was thirteen and extended to his death in 196 AG, lasting for forty-three years. 
Thadylia was a highly dedicated and applied individual who held much respect for King Rickon and his intellect, often to her own detriment. In the office of Royal Advisor, she and Rickon had many disagreements over royal policy, the latter often disregarding or merely compromising with the former's suggestions. It was because of this that the Royal Advisor was often criticised as weak or a puppet, and even speculated to have had a physical relationship with the King, as very few were privy to the reality that was the intimately academic relationship between the two. Nevertheless, Thadylia continuously maintained a kind and approachable attitude during her tenure, contrasted with Rickon's gloomy and self-centred disposition.
