Anastasia (Empress)

Empress Anastasia Maralie Forsteran-GalderonThe Position:The primary responsibility of the Empress is to be the Emperor’s wife, and the mother of the Emperor’s son who will become his heir. If possible, she is to make a few spare princes if the first one goes bad. Her secondary functions include assisting in the bringing up of the princes and princesses of the Imperial couple, and assisting in the entertainments and levees of the Imperial Court.
It is generally accepted that the Empress should probably be chosen from a first-rate family who will provide additional strength to the Galderon dynasty. This has not always been the case in the past, but is hard to argue in the present.
The Woman:Anastasia Forsteran came from a back country barony in Manebia. A beautiful young woman, she captured the heart of the soon-to-be Emperor. Now forty years later, her beauty is faded with age, but she still has a matronly radiance. Still a country girl at heart, she stays out of Imperial business aside from helping to entertain guests at the Imperial Court. She is also not negligent in admonishing misbehavior in the palace.
Her family has benefitted from their daughter's high profile. Several serve at different points in the Imperial Government.
*Her brother Lord Edbert Forsteran is the Minister of the South for the Imperial Chancellory.
