Sjora Stormwing

:: "May the mantle of High Imperator be lost forever if the people would cut off heads for the sake of seeing the crown fall."
High Empress Sjora Stormwing was the ruler of the Alamo Empire from 2988 to 3000 -- she stepped down from her position after the birth of her son, Derrin Stormwing IX. She was a direct descendant of the founder of the Alamo Empire -- Derrin Stormwing I -- and had a significant amount of social and political clout even prior to becoming High Empress. As implied by the enduring popularity of her personal name for hundreds of years after her reign, Sjora Stormwing was regarded favorably, albeit perhaps as a ruler that thought it best not to stoke the flames of rebellion.
Though she did not appease the dissident nations' demands as much as they would like, her diplomatic attempts were also regarded by some nationalists as "bowing" to their threats of seceding from the Alamo Empire (which they did immediately before her son's tenure as High Emperor began). From a historical retrospect, she may have incited the Third Galactic War to some degree, though it is debatable if she is more at fault than her more violent successors, Nesslund Raskes and Aejir Scythefang.
