</infobox>Delta Aulian-Drake and Canalopin (Winter 66 TE - Summer 160 TE, later resurrected, Spring 188 TE - Winter 319 TE), known as the Winter Princess or the Awaken Dragon, was an influential noblewoman and public figure in the Drakesland. She ended up embodying a renaissance of the Drakaen culture during convoluted times, not without having left her print over multiple nations in the region, such as Valreach, Amarillo or Drakaes itself.

She became one of the main political actors in The Kingdom of Nidaros during the Formation of the League of Vircon, becoming the First Secretary General of the League. Joining efforts with her friend, Ralozi Miva, they founded and organized the successful sports event, The Nido Games, in the new lordship of Nibury, where Delta became its Lady. She also led the negotiations between his father, Vix Aulian, and the King of Nidaros, Vin Helianthus, resulting in the reunification of the Realm and foundation of the Kingdoms of Valreach, where she spent most of her political career and became Royal Princess and occupying the charge of Prime Minister, among other political positions and titles.
She killed her adoptive mother, Tiffany Canalopin, after a transcendental experience in the Caves of Nidaros. Afterwards, she claimed the throne of Drakaes, becoming the 6th Autarch, leading a union of Drakaen nations known as Zie Drakaen Köntrybund. After the dissolution of the mentioned Commonwealth, during the Valrean Civil War, she committed suicide in the City of Nidaros. 
Over a decade later, she was resurrected in New Yoake by Alfric Canalopin, becoming the Nachtenreikina of the Night's Realm. She ruled as Imperina of the Nachtenreich until the formation of the Twilight Empire of Amarillo. She disappeared shortly after becoming Empress of the new empire.
On 310 TE, she reappeared publicly after being awaken by her adopted daughter Ilara Drake Canalopin in Kish during the conflict known as the War of The Last Cycle. She led the faction of The Drakesland Autarchy, a cultist revival of the Old Drakaen Pantheon. After some victories in the battlefield she was defeated in the Siege of Varasopolis, where her husband, Soronaca de Porphyropolis slayed her following her request.
==Appearance & Nature==
Delta was a human being. Born from a far-southern ethnicity with light skin tone and slightly pointy ears. She had blond hair that she usually kept long and arranged in braids around her scalp. On some punctual occasions, she cut that hair off, due to consequences of fights, duels or travels. Delta had the average height for a human. When she was born, her eyes were cyan but on 146 TE, right before becoming Autarch, they became dark red. Eventually, after her resurrection, they became dark blue, almost black.
One of the main characteristics of her nature, different from other humans in Eldham, was her slow ageing. Not only her kind had a longer life-span, but they aged slower as years were passing.
==Biography==
===Early Life===
Delta was born in a small coastal village called Oncatea in the region of Meona, south of the limits of Eldham and east of the regions of Rathnir. She spent her childhood on the coast. A common activity for her during those times, used to be sailing and fishing with her family, acquiring knowledge and expertise managing small boats and ships.
When she was eight, her mother died while bringing to life a boy. Delta and his father, Roland, stayed in Oncatea until Delta was twelve. Then. Roland decided to leave their town after a big flood that destroyed half of the buildings in the village and most of the ships. Delta and his little brother joined a carpenter’s guild, led by a friend of the family. There, they helped to rebuild the village.
===Arrival at Eldham ===
Delta travelled to Nidaros, in Eldham, when she learned that her father, who had become Hand of the Kingdom of Nidaros, was ill. After a long sea voyage to the north, she arrived at the Drakesland, during the Autumn of the year 81 TE. She was 15 years old when she set foot in Eldham for the first time. Delta moved to her father’s place in the city and spent his last days with him. In his last will, Roland Sien left all his properties and titles to Delta. As so, she becamethe new Hand of Nidaros, the right hand of the King.
During her first days in the city, Delta met who would become a motherly figure for her, Tiffany Canalopin, mayor of the city. She knew Tiffany had been a political rival of her father, yet Delta received a warm welcome from the mayor, who stayed with her during the darkest days of the mourning for her father.
She also met her new lord, King Vin Helianthus, monarch of the Kingdom of Nidaros. Vin was a distant and cautious man, who didn’t trust Delta straight away. Over time, proving the worth of her title, Vin and Delta would develop a professional relationship that ensured a loyal close circle to the king.
===Hand of Nidaros===
After being appointed as hand, she led the negotiations with the city of Jorvick in the nation of Mugen, resulting in the signature of the Final Road Agreement, to end the historical tensions and territorial disputes between the cities of Nidaros and Jorvick. Afterwards, she led, as well, the Nidarosean troops in the battle against Tamarin, in Nujh, a member of the Coalition of the Bay of Peace. The short struggle ended in a decisive victory during the summer of 82 TE.
That same year, Delta suffered an assassination attempt at Puerto Amarillo, when she was visiting the city to seek support against a small rebel group that had risen near the springs of the Segrespent river. After the diplomatic talks with the Amarillian leaders, Salazar Van Den Green and Soronaca Trichechi, some assassins, allegedly sent by the rebels, tried to smuggle in the president’s manor, where Delta stayed for the night. Delta saved Soronaca’s life from Salazar’s sabre in the battles that developed in the corridors. She stayed in Puerto Amarillo for some days, while King Vin razed Ekaway, the main rebel settlement, to the ground. In the Amarillian capital, Delta began a friendship relationship with its leaders, settling the first foundations of what would become the League of Vircon.
After the Nido Games had concluded in 88 TE, The Hand of Nidaros began several projects as Lady of Nibury, mayor of the city. She coordinated the expansion of the road system, connecting it to the Frostbite Bridge. At the same time, coordinated efforts with New Yoake led to the building operations of a promenade around the western coast of the Frostbite. Delta was in charge, as well, of other development projects in the Kingdom like the expansion of the walls in Nidaros or the creation of a bigger harbour for Nibury.
Around 93 TE, Gre'en Leyla-Earcala, regentess of the colonies of Simulami in Eldham, travelled to Nidaros. With the diplomat, the Soleviel faith came to the Kingdom and, with Delta’s allowance, a small church was built in Nibury, where Soleviel ceremonies would take place from then on.
====Leading the League of Vircon====
All the conflicts and chaos in the region made Delta think of the lack of organisation able to stand against bigger threats. She then rescued the idea that her father had once defended, a new union between the independent states in the Drakesland, different from the Regnum and the Concordat but united enough to face the regional adversities, together.
Not even a year after she left the city, Delta travelled again to Puerto Amarillo to propose a new status quo to her new allies. There, during the hot Summer of the year 83 TE, the Constitution of the League of Vircon was written and then signed, reforming the previous coalition of the Bay of Peace. Delta was named Secretary General of the League.
From then on, Delta would base her political activity around the three states of the League; Amarillo, Nidaros and Nujh. She kept her father’s title of Hand of Nidaros, resuming the works to expand and develop Nidaros and its outer districts. It was her efforts to expand the League through the Drakesland, however, that would be remembered for most Drakaens. She first travelled to Aurica, the old Drakaen capital and convinced Zie Drakaen Union to join the League. A short time after, she crossed the newly erected bridge on the Bay of the Frostbite to New Yoake and after a meeting with Lady Von, The Republic of New Yoake joined as well.
Delta, from her work as Secretary General of the League of Vircon, had become quite well-known around the northern region of the Drakesland, even though she was a foreigner of lowborn origins. In a diplomatic mission to Northwich, Vix Aulian, King of the Island of Nujh, received and adopted her into the House of Aulian. Becoming the first member of the following generation. With her adoption, she got her first noble and royal title, as Princess of Northwich. Busy with her tasks as Hand of Nidaros, Princess Delta was not able to help in her father’s kingdom.
====The Nido Games====
An era of peace and cooperation between the now Virconian nations of the Drakesland began. It was in that context of economic growth and expansion of Nidaros when Delta met Ralozi Miva, aka. Dunxter, a young descendant of the Nido Tribes, owner of The Thunderbird Club, a popular tavern in the street of the Sea Dragon of Nidaros.
Ralozi just had come back from a long trip that took him away from Nidaros since the Fall of the Concordat. He told Delta about a lost tradition of the old Nido folk. A yearly sporting event that used to bring the best athletes of the tribes together in the cult of the body and mind and the pursuit of honour and glory. Delta and Ralozi, sharing the ideals those games used to represent, decided to bring back those old competitions.
And so, during the summer of the year 87 T.E. and after two years of preparation, building and gathering nations to participate, The Nido Games were celebrated in the old Nido settlement of Nibury, rebuilt from the ruins of Sorbia for that occasion. The event was a success, many nations from all across Eldham came to Nidaros to participate in the event which lasted four weeks.
It was in that event, during the Boat race competition, that Soronaca Trichechi confessed his romantic feelings to Delta. That same night they both consumed their love for each other and began a formal relationship.
In the last sport of the event, in the Capture the Flag modality, Delta and Razoli decided to participate in the match. Delta's team, formed by InverseAtom, BeeKay and Mastertiff achieved first place while Razoli’s team got the second position. Having finished the event as Champions of Nido, Delta and Razoli conducted a last ceremony and the delegations of the nations that had come to Nidaros went back to their homes.
The Nido Games would be remembered across Eldham as one of the biggest and most exciting sporting events ever made to that date. The Games put the Drakaen region and the League of Vircon back on the international stage.

====Battles of Kibris====
Right after the Nido Games concluded, the Kibris Crisis emerged. After Amarillo’s failed attempt to take over the rebel sea fortress, Delta formed a commission in the League of Vircon to deal with the threat. Operation Lapis was born, where, together with Catania and Uraka, assaults on the towns held by Ananas, Iron and Kibris were planned and successfully launched.
Delta, as Hand of Nidaros, took part in several fights during the conflict. She was present during the assault on Iron and her intervention was key to capture Ananas while he was retreating to Kibris. She had taken a bunch of elite troops from the Virconian nations and went to assist the blockade on the island by Amarillo. It was there that Ananas was captured and brought to justice. Afterwards, she participated in the accusation against Ananas in the Uraki trial against the rebel.
The forces of Vircon and Uraka organised a last attack for the summer of the year 92 TE. The Virconian armies were led by the General Commander of the League, Lhytt de Amarillo, who Delta had appointed in the name of the Virconian Committee during the Kibris Crisis. During the battle, Delta commanded the archery divisions while the vanguard of the Virconian-Uraki coalition fell on Kibris. Later in the battle, leading the NRDF, the Nidarosean Royal Defence Force, in the name of the King of Nidaros, Delta assaulted Kibris through the breach. After Ananas fled and the coalition proclaimed victory, Delta Aulian and Lhytt rose the Virconian banners over Kibris.
After the short rule of Soronaca as mayor of Kibris, Delta supervised the destruction of the fortress. There, together with Soronaca and Salazar, she met who would become one of her biggest political rivals in Vircon and the Drakesland, a young Amarillan at that time, Juniper de la Pantera.
====Marriage with Soronaca====
Before the formation of the League of Vircon, Delta met who would become the most relevant person in her life, other than her adoptive mother, Tiffany. They first met at a negotiation table and showed no interest in each. It wasn’t until the year 88 TE, during the Nido Games, that Soronaca joined Delta in a boat leading one race and declared his feelings for her. That same night they both consumed their love for each other and soon after the Games were over, they began a formal relationship.
Six years later, they would finally celebrate their wedding. The ceremony took place during the Fall of the year 94 TE in the Senate Building of Puerto Amarillo and ended up becoming the biggest party ever celebrated in the Drakesland. People from all around The League of Vircon and beyond came together for the festivities. After the ceremony, conducted by Tiffany, a tournament in Nibury was organised, using the facilities of the Nido Games. The tournament lasted for some more days. The wedding celebrations ended in the halls of Nidaros.
====Unification of Valreach====
The first step for reunification between Nujh and Nidaros was the Cooperation treaty signed between both nations, which Delta herself developed. Even if the original intention of the treaty was unification itself, the document ended up recognising the common history and culture of both Nidaros and Nujh and formed the main precedent for a union. Delta and her father Vix, kept planning a reunification.
That attempt ended up with The Regnum of Aulian, trying to force a reunification and make Vin leave the throne of Nidaros. The Regnum of Aulian planned to establish a unified state ruled by the royal House of Aulian as Monarchs. It began with an ultimatum from Nujh sent to Nidaros, to make Vin Helianthus abdicate and establish a provisional government. Delta gave public support to the reunification and wrote a letter pushing King Vin to accept a deal with Nujh. The Round Table of Nidaros was divided about the matter.In a desperate move to save his Kingship, Vin tried to get Nidaros to join Aristios. Delta opposed due to the crisis that was caused inside The League of Vircon as a whole. The conflict ended with an intervention in Nidarosean sovereignty, in the form of a referendum imposed by Uraka and Aristios. The referendum ended with a negative result to the proposition of reunification.
Even though Delta, as the main interested person in such unification, didn’t stop talks between both royals. Finally, after a Council was formed and many discussions were held, Nidaros and Nijh united and formed The Kingdoms of Valreach, in the Autumn of the year 98 TE Delta, as one of the main founders of the Realm and writer of its Constitution, became Minister of Foreign Affairs and Winter Princess of the Frostbite and the Frosty Grove, the principality she was granted rule over.
===Winter Princess of Valreach===
====Early Governmental Action====
Delta served in the Provisional Government of Valreach, between the years 99 TE and 107 TE before the first elections to the parliament. She was named by his father and Prime Minister, King Vix Aulian, as Minister of Foreign Affairs.
During her term as head of the Valrean diplomacy, she achieved two great territorial expansions. In the year 101 TE, she led negotiations with the Simulami Empire, leading to the purchase of the southern half of the former Avarian region of Sustralia. With the deal, she also established a fruitful alliance between both Kingdoms. In 103 TE, she saw how Uraka made Valreach its vassal after they found King Vix guilty of plotting against the Empire and its other vassals. The plot was unknown to her since her father had not shared his plans with her. The following year, in 104 TE, she travelled to Aurica and sealed a deal with Neo Drakaes, integrating the Drakaen Kingdom into Valreach and making the noble house of Fairfax a vassal house of Aulian.
After the first elections to the parliament in 107 TE, Delta was chosen Head of the Parliament, in charge of managing and conducting the sessions in the legislative chamber. She set a precedent for further Heads of the Parliament with her outstanding speeches and rule. During her term as Head of the Parliament, she advocated for independence from Uraka, as she always thought the nations of Vircon should be independent of foreign powers.

Towards the end of her term as Head of the Parliament, in the year 114 TE, Vin Helianthus, King of Nidaros and Diarch of Valreach proclaimed the Holy Drakaen Empire from the western city of Eradios, claiming more than two-thirds of the Valrean land. Delta, then at Nidaros travelled to Castle Aulian where Vix was assembling his response. There, she was named Prime Minister of the Emergency Government of Valreach, to give a response and solve the crisis Valreach was facing. Together with Vix, who was named by Delta Minister of Defence, contacted Simulami and Catania, among other allies to ensure their support if the conflict escalated further. After achieving the neutrality or loyalty of the main cities of the south, Delta drafted a set of conditions for Vin's surrender and travelled to Eradios with Tiffany Canalopin. There, they managed to convince Vin and his son Björn to surrender to avoid any major repercussions. And so, during the winter of the year 115 TE, Vin Helianthus surrendered to Valreach, dropping all his claims and going to exile to his overseas manor.
After the crisis was solved, Delta mended the wounds of the Realm integrating more presence of the southern cities, the main supporters of the HDE. Later that year, after ensuring the loyalty of Lagertha and Björn Helianthus, she drafted a decree to restitute the historical rights of the House of Helianthus. Soon after, she called for elections. During her term as Prime Minister of the Emergency Government, the Uraki Imperium forced Valreach to give a portion of the Desert of Saafir to a colony of Vinovia, from Rathnir.
After the elections of 117 TE, Delta got the support of the Parliament to assemble a new government. This time, she expanded the executive with seven ministries, keeping Foreign Affairs for herself due to her previous success in charge. She chose one member of each southern province to be part of the Government to ensure their loyalty and mend further the distrust that had grown during the crisis of the HDE. During her term, she would be part of the Constituent Chamber that led to the formation of the Valrean-Catanian Commonwealth, in Nidaros. Some years after being named Prime Minister, she named her mother and Minister of Finances, Tiffany Canalopin, Vice Prime Minister to strengthen the government. In 118 TE, Mr. Ananas returned to the Drakesland and went to the Valrean Government to seek lands. Delta offered Ananas some islands south of Aurica in the Sea of Gustavus. Delta stepped down in the year 124 TE after the Diarchs of Valreach had denounced the republic of Amarillo, raising the tensions in the cold war that the Drakesland was going through. She named Björn Moreau Prime Minister until the next elections.
==== Cold War in the Drakesland====
The clash between the growing powers of the Valrean-Catanian Commonwealth and The Republic of Amarillo led to the period known as the Drakaen Cold War. Both regional powers never faced each other in an open war but used their influence against each other, instead, for two decades. By the year 125 TE, after Björn Moreau was ratified by the Parliament as Prime Minister, Delta was losing popularity among the Valrean common folk for her ties with Amarillo. It was not uncommon for her to get booed and insulted in public. She spent most of her time during 125 TE and 126 TE in Nidaros, where the small folk were not as harsh with her.
It is believed that during this period of depression for Delta, she had a love affair with Björn Moreau. The suspicions in court began after a feast in Eradios held by the newly elected Prime Minister, during the summer of 125 TE. Delta, who didn't leave the walls of Nidaros since the funeral of the Helianthus family, half a year earlier, attended the feast with other Nidarosi nobles. That was enough evidence for the Princess' detractors. Even though it is more plausible that she was pushed to attend the feast by Tiffany, to improve her mental health, the gossip about an extramarital affair was widespread during the following years. The accusations reached their peak during the following year, when Delta was on a summer escape in Porphyropolis. It was then that Soronaca and Delta announced that they had adopted a toddler by the name of Spatheas. When the news reached the court in Motu, King Vix had to shut the accusations down by the threat of imprisonment. Multiple partners were a common thing among nobles in the Valrean Realm, but always under the umbrella of marriage. In addition, and as a response to the voices that questioned the legitimacy of Delta as the successor of the Valrean Throne, King Vix named his daughter Hand of the Kingdoms, a title inherited from the Kingdom of Nidaros that was given to the highest advisor of the Monarchs.
Delta, now Hand of the Kingdoms, as well as High Princess, began travelling more around the Realm to bond again with the nobility. However, she still spent more of her time in Nidaros, especially after the birth of her sister Maria. The child's father, Kendal Reach, who was the Grand Commander of the United Armies of the Commonwealth barely took care of Maria. Together with Tiffany, Delta raised Maria more as a mother than as a sister. Both siblings grew very fond of each other. Just some years later, Delta would write about her younger sister on a diary found in the Winter Palace:'She was the morning star at dawn after a long eventide. Like a flower blooming among the coldest ice, she saved me from my darkest time'During this period, in 127 TE, Delta fought with the armies of the Commonwealth in the Aquatosi rebellion in Velenu. She led divisions into battle and was one of the major factors in the loyalist victory. Some chronicles state that she defeated one of the rebel leaders, Bobo Bill, when they found each other on the battlefield. Back in Valreach, with her role as Patriarch of the Soleviel Church, she converted many people in the Duchy of Greater Nidaros during that decade, being the major expanse of the faith in Northern Valreach to ever take place.Delta's self-imposed seclusion forcefully finished around the year 130 TE. Björn, after six years leading the Valrean Government, stepped down and named Delta Prime Minister. Just some months prior, Tiffany also requested the Diarchs to name her first daughter Duchess of Greater Nidaros, as a temporary measure to dedicate her time to the development of the city. And so, in less than a year, Delta went back to the core of the politics in the Drakesland, right after the peak of the tensions in the Cold War. Internationally, the Drakesland was going through a very delicate time with the creation of Gardenia, supported by the VCC. The relations between the East and the West that survived were fully blown up by that event. Even Soronaca confronted his wife when the Flouran Diarchy was established. However, Delta didn't want to let the two powers destroy each other and she began working towards a peaceful end of the hostilities.
At the same time, Delta began a legislative project to unify further the three Kingdoms of the Valrean Realm. With the Cold War reaching its most tense years, and with the same spirit that her younger self had when she led the formation of the League of Vircon, Delta realised that the only way all she cared for could survive was through a peaceful and united continent. With the first snows of the late 130 TE, Delta, together with the Diarchs, announced that the Kingdoms of Valreach would turn into a unified High Kingdom. This ambitious project that wanted to reform the very core and identity of the Realm took eleven years to materialise.
Those times were still emotionally tumultuous for Delta. Her adoptive parents, High King Vix Aulian and Consort Queen Tiffany Canalopin, announced publicly their divorce. The Princess. however, didn't hesitate and proved herself worthy of her title. She kept working with the Diarchy and assisted them when both Vix and Lagertha told her that they wished to marry. Delta knew that such marriage would help unify the Kingdoms as she intended. Delta herself, ratified as Patriarch of the Soleviel Church, conducted the marriage of High King Vix Aulian and High Queen Lagertha Moreau in the Soleviel stave church of Nidaros during the summer of 131 TE. As it was tradition, the feasts and celebrations followed in Nibury to what it would be remembered as the greatest wedding ever cheered in the Valrean Realm. With such acts and dedication, Delta's opinion among the nobility of Valreach rose back again. Her popularity peaked again with the acquisition of a new title for the Princess. Mr. Ananas, head of Otello communicated to the Valrean Government that he would be away from the Drakesland for some years and that he decided to name Delta Aulian Queen Regent of Otello.
====Mugen's Horror====
The rise of the Ellysian Khanate of Mugenistan is an odd and bizarre event in Drakaen history. At some early point during the year 134 TE, the Triumvirate of the Valrean-Catanian Commonwealth decided to follow Angel's sudden plan of conversion into a Mugenite state. It had been over 50 years since the absolutist state of Mugen was defeated by the Uraki and Catania was formed. However, High King Angel Reach I proclaimed himself Khan of Mugenistan.
This nightmare took four years to end. Some months after its re-foundation, Mugenistan captured the newly elected Chancellor of Aristios, Logui Fielnya Olmero and imprisoned him in the dungeons of the Halls of Mugen. Right after, Khan Angel called for the armies of Valreach, Catania and The Arthholds. Delta requested the Diarchy to lead the armies herself. They accepted and High Princess Delta rallied the Armies in Nibury before they marched south to Mugen. The Princess' speech was recorded by some Nidarosi scholars:'Yesterday, a letter arrived from the south: "Aristios, after receiving the news of the kidnap of their Chancellor, declared war against the Khanate with the intention of assaulting Mugen and destroying it to the ground. Their armies now march towards the Drakesland to end with the threat of Mugenistan". Suprsinigly, another letter from the south. Mugen calls for aid. The letter was short: "Will Valreach aid the Khanate? Will Valreach answer?". Will Valreach answer? Tomorrow we march south. Tomorrow we march to Mugen. Whoever tries to cross those gates will face the United Military and they will find nothing but death! Come with me, Valreach. Come with me to Mugen. To defend our land, to defend our pride. For them! For us! Uchaile Valreige!'The Siege of Mugen took place during the year 137 TE and ended with a defeat for the Khanate. Aristios rescued Chancellor Logui Fielnya and defeated the main forces of the United Military. Angel was wounded during the assault and later passed away while Delta was blessing him on his deathbed. 
Many stories have been forged and written about the dark times of the Khanate, when the flag of Mugen was waving once again. People from beyond the Drakesland, ensured that Delta had a love affair with Logui Fielnya during the couple of years that he was a prisoner in Mugen. Some even include the commander of the Eleanorian expeditionary force, Alarich Myers, in that twisted relationship.
Darker stories about the death of Khan Angel sprouted too. Delta was indeed alone with Angel Reach and when she emerged from his room, the Khan was dead. Some present in adjacent rooms within Mugen claim to have heard strange chants and out-of-this-world screaming from Angel's chamber. Rumours about demonic rituals spread among the stewards in Mugen. Members of the Catanian army also kept affirming over the years that Delta killed Angel in cold blood. Even though such claims were most probably fueled by the growing tensions between Valreach and Catania, the events that surround King Angel's death were never cleared. His child, Rodnim Aulian Reach, adopted son of Soronaca and Delta, ascended the throne of Catania after Angel's passing.
While Mugenistan was calling their vassal armies, Delta was still in charge of the foreign action of the Valrean Government. She negotiated an alliance with Yuvaria, an old member state of the League of Vircon and fellow Uraki vassal. It is believed that Valreach and Catania were plotting since those days and before, some kind of takeover of the Uraki Imperium using its vassals. Such claims were never proved. To seal the alliance with Yuvaria, Delta had to marry Wardaddy, chancellor of Yuvaria in a political marriage that would bring no children as they wouldn't share much time before Delta marched south. 
====Rise of the Drakaen Commonwealth====
After the defeat of Mugenistan and the death of Khan Angel, Rodnim I Aulian Reach of Catania, together with High King Vix of Valreach and King Stumpy of the Arthholds proclaimed the Drakaen Commonwealth. Structurally, nothing differed from the former Valrean-Catanian Commonwealth. The main two reasons that led to the change were the full integration of the Arthholds into the Commonwealth and the projection of legitimacy as a regional power in the Drakesland regaining for the first time since the Concordat the name of Drakaes.
Delta kept her position in the high command of the Commonwealth for her role as Prime Minister of Valreach. It was during this period when Delta began taking a more active role in the diplomacy of the DC. The tensions with Amarillo and its allies, the Covenant of Embers, for the legitimacy of Gardenia almost brought a full-scale war between both parties. Delta spoke with the rest of the high command of the DC and proposed to them a new course of action, a middle point that would not fully satisfy anyone but that could ensure a long-lasting and stable peace. With those ideas in mind, she began hosting a set of meetings with representatives of the Covenant in Nidaros that would be known as the Nidaros Talks. The strategy included talking with each member separately to have more leverage in the negotiations.
To further ease the tensions with the rivals of the Commonwealth in the Drakesland, in 137 TE, Delta joined President Urubis' government in the Republic of Amarillo as Minister of Economy. She moved to Soronaca's old house in Puerto Amarillo and spent most of the following year on the Amarillian mainland. As a new member of the Republican government, she led Urubis' Town Taxation Proposal, improving the registry system for the state's finances. She also took the chance to develop a set of regulatory laws for the Amarillian Central Bank. Most of her work got approved by the Senate and the Regulation of the Central Bank & The Township Taxation System she had written was approved. President Urubis then named Delta Governor of the Central Bank, putting Delta in charge of the state's finances.
While Delta stayed in Amarillo, she took the chance to get in touch with her children Gaius and Connie. It was the latest who, while dining on an evening during the summer of 137 TE, revealed threatening news. Connie revealed to Delta that Zogaris, mayor of Verdesburg, together with Knarr, King of Urubia and a select group of Mohadi were plotting against the Republic with Urubia and Novo Verdes involved. Delta could have given that information to the Commonwealth and used it to win the Cold War against Amarillo. However, she went to Chancellor Juni's office and met with her and the president to give them the information. Zogaris was exiled and Knarr was found innocent of most charges on a trial that took place in 138 TE. 
====Old Banners Rebellion====
The ways chosen by Delta to ease the tensions with Amarillo got her accused of treason among some high officials of the Commonwealth. However, one big plot was keeping the VCC busy and decided to put the internal discrepancies to a side. Catylist, Delta's brother-in-law, was plotting a rebellion against the Uraki Imperium to dissolve it. Delta decided to move back to Valreach to get the army ready in case of retaliation from the Uraki government.
During the first weeks of the year 139 TE, most domains of the Uraki Imperium, with all its vassal states, broke ties with the central government. By Spring of the same year, nothing was left for the loyalists and the Uraki Imperium was officially disbanded. New groups rose and threatened the newly gained independence. Surprisingly, however, the fall of Uraka was peaceful and no conflict reached the Drakeslands. The Old Banners Rebellion kept existing as an organisation to ensure the survival of the newly formed states. Its main enemy, Hark, composed by former Uraki loyalists, threatened some of the coalition's nations. Their upcoming alliance with the Goons could have been the end of the dreams of freedom for countries like Valreach and Catania. However, after a shared payment of 10 million golden coins to the Goons, they backed off. Delta herself paid the entirety of the Valrean part, half a million. 
Without the umbrella of the Pax Uraka, the Drakaen Commonwealth, more united after the victory over the Imperium, sought new allies. Delta travelled to Arrakis, the capital of the new Imperial Realm of Arktania, the self-proclaimed ceremonial successor of the Uraki Imperium. This ally of the coalition was led by allies of the Drakaen people, Juniper Kyani, Alarich Myers and Zoot Wyrda. The Drakaen Commonwealth signed a full alliance with Arktania before it joined the Covenant of Embers. By then, the relations with the Covenant weren't as tense, after Gardenia gave territorial concessions to Mosir Sumari.
It was probably during her stay in Arrakis when Delta and Juniper Kyani developed a romantic relationship. Delta was named Hand of the Impyratrix. She never got too much into Arktanian politics for she had plans of her own in the Drakesland. However, Delta took the chance to forge alliances with the Kyani and Myers families. Delta spent more than half a year in the Golden City before she went back to the Drakesland, during spring of 140 TE. She just stayed for some days in Motu, to do paperwork. Then, she rushed to Puerto Amarillo to attend an emergency senate session where called by Kawaii Poliorcetes Kyani, son of the Arktanian leader.
====Amarillian Civil War====
During the Amarillian Civil War, Delta sided with Kawaii's military junta. Her family in Amarillo, however, Soronaca, Gaius and Connie were still loyal to the Republic. Her adoptive son, Rodnim, King of Catania, later joined Soronaca's Imperilianos faction against the Junta. Delta took part in the Battle of Arak-Kapharat with the Arktanian expeditionary force as Hand of the Imperatrix. When Soronaca's troops attacked Puerto Amarillo and captured the self-proclaimed King Kawaii, Delta was already back in Valreach and would participate in the war no more. What made Delta stay with La Junta and later leave back to Nidaros stays unknown.
Until the war was over, Soronaca and Delta didn't see each other. They still had strong feelings for each other, but their political ideals had brought them apart once again. Delta would write a letter to her children wishing them a safe time until the conflict was over.
====End of Government in Valreach====
Meanwhile, in Valreach, the years after the threat of war by Hark and the Goons, were peaceful and full of celebrations. Delta herself was the center of attention of this period with several marriages that took place in Nidaros. The first of these marriages took place on 141 TE with Erica Z Červenliška, Kamuykur of Mosir-Sumari. They were allies in common with Arktania and had met in Arrakis during Delta's stay. This move, together with the still ongoing civil war in Amarillo put an end to the Cold War in the Drakesland.
Just a year later, in 142 TE Juni Kyani visited the Drakesland, after the Commonwealth had broken the alliance with Rodinnbrok and supported Arktania on their claim over Falkreach. In the spring of 142 TE, Delta and Juniper got married in the Drakesrest of Nidaros. The wedding itself didn't come as a surprise to many, since the Valrean people were getting used to the many ceremonies and festivities celebrated in Nidaros. Everyone thought something was wrong when Juniper announced she was pregnant. It wasn't the first time in the Kyani household a female was carrying another female's children. Later that same year, Juniper, back at Arrakis brought Sazane and Tania to life.
It was discovered, years later, that before the year was over, Delta had also married Daniëlle Kyani, older sister of Juniper Kyani, now retired from politics. After a secret ceremony in Nidaros, Delta hosted Daniëlle in the Winter Palace in the Grove, southwest of Nidaros. Delta had built that palace decades before and used it as a winter residence and vacation home. Delta spent the winter of 143 TE travelling with Daniëlle around central Drakesland. Daniëlle gave birth to a boy named Dimeter in the year 143 TE in Nibury. The Nidarosi people who learned of the boy's existence began gossiping about Delta also being the mother of the child. Afterwards, Daniëlle spent most of her time taking care of the lands as Constable of the Winter Palace, named by the Princess.
Delta also finished her project on the Constitution for the newly reformed High Kingdom of Valreach. The constitution was approved by the Diarchy and the Constituent Parliament Chamber in 141 TE. With those reforms, Delta became the only heir to the Valrean throne. With the new code of laws, she gave more leverage to the Vix, who became the sole High King of Valreach, to name and ratify dukes and counts and overview the government more easily. Alfric, older brother of the king also got more involved with the Valrean politics, taking a more active role as advisor to the King.
The princess spent the years 142 TE to 145 TE in Nidaros, for most of the year, travelling to Motu during the active summer months and retiring to the Winter Palace during most weeks in winter. Delta began assembling, as well, a private court that she filled with her trusted advisors and friends. This select and varied group, in Valreach, was called 'The Magistrate' and later was known as 'The Autarch's Magistrate'. Among these courtiers, there were consorts such as Daniëlle Kyani or Erica Z Červenliška, and even Queen Lagertha herself. Some political rivals of the Crown's Princess began spreading slanders. From extravagant masquerades and exotic feasts to accusations of crystal witchcraft and manipulation from her circles into the state's affairs, much-unfounded gossip sprouted. Delta and her companions indeed began several gardening and sculpting projects all across the Duchy and the Magistrate had a very active involvement.
===Autarch of Drakaes===
Due to a letter Delta wrote right before her death, it is now known that she went into the Caves of Nidaros during the winter of 146 TE. The motives are not fully known, but most probably she was lured beneath the mountain by the kind of dreams that some people experience around Nidaros and the Lion's Ridge. Some days later, she returned. Something within her, however, was changed. Her skin became more pale and her hair turned from a vivid golden blonde into a faded platinum. Even her eyes went from cyan to crimson red. The biggest change, however, was not physical. Her personality seemed to be transformed, as well. The calm nature she have always had was replaced by a tempered and irascible one. Delta became more introspective and hardly smiled in public as she used to do.
After that unsettling experience, Delta went to the Drakeskeep above Nidaros and confronted Tiffany. Delta had found out that Tiffany had killed her biological father, Roland Sien, among other politicians of the Drakesland. After a short duel in the throne room of the castle, Delta and Tiffany fell off one of the windows as Delta was stabbing her mother with a dagger she had received from Alfric.All these events are narrated in The Awakening and can be read in The Awaken Dragon. This would put an end to the long ceremonial Autarchy of Tiffany Canalopin and would mark a new beginning for the Drakaen nation.
====Coronation====
After Tiffany's funeral, Delta called the senate of the Drakaen Commonwealth for a meeting in Nibury. The senators thought that she was acting as Head of the Senate in her mother's name and that she intended to ratify her position. It came as a surprise for everyone when she shared with the rest a manuscript of the Neu Köntrybund Saculdum, a proposal for a total reform of the institutions of the Commonwealth. Among the reforms, was the reinstitution of the Autarchy to replace the Triumvirate system.
In earlier times of the Commonwealth, during the Cold War, it would have been very unlikely for such a pack of reforms to get approved. However, by then, the Triumvirate was composed of close relatives of Delta: His father, High King Vix of Valreach, his first son, King Rodnim Aulian Reach of Katania, and her adopted daughter and in-law, Ryuu Osri-Draconis Aulian Reach of the Arthholds. The three did not oppose Delta when she called for a vote to name herself, as the first daughter and heir of Tiffany, Autarch of Drakaes.
Later on 146 TE, Delta was crowned as the Sixth Autarch of Drakaes in the Drakeskeep of Nidaros. The ceremony was solemn and was followed by no feast or celebration for the passing of Tiffany was still recent in the memory of the city. The Autarch's family also mourned another loss, Rodnim's, who had been assassinated in Jorvick. His brother and son of Angel Reach, Vaelralis I Laenall-Reach, was named King, instead of Rodnim's son and Delta's grandson, Rodnim II. To keep the new Katan King close and ensure its loyalty, Delta decided to name him Grand Ephor, the highest charge in power within the Köntrybund after the Autarch. 
==== Foreign Action====
The reform of the institutions of the Commonwealth made it possible for territories to choose the level of integration and duties within the union. By Delta's coronation, the Drakaen Köntrybund was formed by its members, Valreach, Katania and the Arthholds, and two vassals, Gardenia and Pasifa. The Diarchs of Gardenia decided to turn into a Protectorate, achieving more autonomy. However, Pasifa broke ties with the Commonwealth by the end of 146 TE and denounced the Drakaen identity and culture. They refused to be subjects of a Drakaen entity that claimed the Regnum's legacy. In addition, Sena Pasifa proclaimed the Third Andlirian Empire and claimed its former territory, now mainly owned by the members of the Covenant of Embers, Amarillo and Vespera.
Following Pasifa's move, Delta met with her new Ephorate and High Command and sent an ultimatum to Pasifa. Drakaes would stop enforcing a Protectorate in Pasifa but they would need to drop the claims to the mainland and dissolve Andliria. By Fall of 147 TE, Pasifa sent a peace delegation to the mainland and the Treaty for the preservation of the Drakaen culture in Zie Drakaen Özean was signed, limiting Pasifa's expansion and foreign sovereignty yet preserving its independence.
The two years following Pasifa's surrender were relatively calm. Delta travelled to sign a Mutual Defence Pact with Amarillo, restoring the alliance between the west and the east since the times of Vircon. Before that, however, a new Prime Minister was chosen in both Katania and Valreach. Catalyst Reach, the father of King Vaelralis, was chosen for the office. In Valreach, after a parliamentary election, Bentu Tarakona, Count of Saafir and Lord of Motu, was chosen as Head of the Government. This put a real end to Delta's time in the Valrean Government until 160 TE. It was during the last moons of 149 TE when Delta's reign faced its hardest times. Regnum Katania, a founding member of the Commonwealth, unilaterally departed from the Drakaen Köntrybund and its adhesion to The Imperium as an Imperial Province. Most chronicles talk about an explosive reaction from the Autarch when she learned about the Katan betrayal. The Jorvian Theandrus Lachfrost, Grand Ephor of the Köntrybund by 149 TE, allegedly resigned from his charge after being outraged and scolded by Delta. The Autarch would not name another Grand Ephor until the year 155 TE, most probably due to her growing paranoic tendencies. 
Following the departure of Katania from the Commonwealth, Soronaca, who by then was Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Amarillo, announced that a Third Drakaen Summit would be celebrated in Puerto Amarillo during the summer of 150 TE. The Summit would be centred around the construction of a collaborative drakaen-wide political community to avoid conflict and unilaterality. Delta travelled to Puerto Amarillo during the spring of 150 TE to organize, together with Soronaca, the summit, but also conduct diplomacy with the Kingdom of Amarillo and other western states. 
During the Third Drakaen Summit, the Treaty of Puerto Amarillo was signed between most nations that had sent representatives to the meeting: Valreach, Amarillo, Torham, Gardenia and Urubia. In addition, Delta made two big announcements consequence of the diplomacy and negotiations she had conducted that year. First, she announced that the Dogedom of Gardenia would stop being a protectorate of the Drakaen Köntrybund. Even if one of the diarchs, Venipher Velaran, wanted further integration within the Commonwealth, Gustavus Vilhorn pushed for independence and his agenda succeded. Just after this declaration, she announced that after a meeting with the members of the Parliament of Amarillo, the Kingdom had decided to join the Drakaen Köntrybund. The adhesion wouldn't be materialised until the summer of 154 TE, the same year that Delta was chosen Patriarch of the Soleviel Church once again. 
With the Cold War left behind and having inherited the allies of both the VCC and Amarillo, Delta turned the members of the Covenant of Embers into her own allies and Drakaes'. With the marriages with Sumari and Arktania and the betrayal of Catania, Delta made Drakaes position itself against the colossal Imperium and closer towards those who opposed it, like Sylvania or Helsia. Delta's autarchy, however, was a peaceful period where Drakaes, even if it had moments of tension, did not experience war. 
Delta's autarchy was defined by a constant attempt to regroup the nations of the Drakesland into one organisation, the Commonwealth. There are records of meetings with Gardenia, Yoake, Falsoria and Metsalej to offer them adhesion into the Commonwealth. Even if she almost achieved the integration of the last two, thanks to the agreement with important members of the national governments, ultimately, only the Kingdom of Amarillo joined the Commonwealth while the relations with the rest of the Drakaen nations were limited to Mutual Defence Pacts. 
==== Domestic Policy====
Since the beginning of her rule, Delta tried to include non-Valrean Government members in the high positions of the Commonwealth. She thought that it was key to give representation to the three nations of the Commonwealth instead of just naming fellow Valreans for the charges. After her coronation, she named Vaelralis of Regnum Katania as Grand Ephor. After his resignment to dedicate his time in Katan internal politics, she named Theandrus Lachfrost, a well-known noble and politician of Katania. The betrayal of Katania made Delta reconsider her position regarding the representation of the countries of the Commonwealth within the institutions. After the adhesion of Amarillo, Delta named her daughter and Queen of the Arthholds, Ryuu Osri-Draconis Reach, as Grand Ephor. She also named his father, Vix Aulian, as Patriarch of the East and the King of Amarillo, Kawaii Poliorcetes Kyani as Patriarch of the West. She finally named her husband, Soronaca Aulian de Poprhyropolis, Imperilan and Prime Minister of Amarillo, as Grand Commander of the United Drakaen Military.
When Delta inherited the Autarchy from her mother Tiffany, she was still Duchess of Greater Nidaros and the Frsoty Grove, as head of the most populated province of the Kingdom and the Commonwealth. She had been ruling as Duchess Regent since 129 TE. It was not until the year 151 TE that Delta named her younger sister and biological daughter of Tiffany, Maria, as Duchess. She would be ratified by High King Vix in 154, by the time Amarillo had joined the Commonwealth.
Delta established the Drakesrest of Nidaros as her residence soon after her coronation. Even if the Ephorate approved Varasopolis as the new Drakaen Capital, the administrative and logistical procedures of turning an abandoned city into the continent's capital were slow. Hence, Nidaros remained the de facto capital of the Köntrybund until its dissolution. The most trusted advisors and courtiers established themselves around the Duchy. Delta's house, which mainly used the Drake-Canalopin surname from then on, also got chambers in the reformed Drakesrest. Maria and Alfric, however, spent about half of their time around their house, just south of the main gates of the Drakesrest.
One of Delta's main objectives was to establish deeper bonds among the countries of the Drakesland that did not have to rely on political institutions. Her 'bonding policy' is perfectly exemplified by the marriage she conducted between her widowed daughter, Queen Ryuu and Amarillo's King, Kawaii Poliorcetes Kyani. The marriage was conducted in Nidaros during the Fall of 157 TE and made Amarillo and Arthholds enter into a personal union similar to the one Delta already had achieved between Catania and the Arthholds years earlier. The marriage would be proven fruitful as Ryuu gave birth to two children, Lennard and Laetizia, who would become royals in the West years later. 
====Regency and Dissolution====
Without previous notice, Delta disappeared from Nidaros in winter of 158 TE. In a letter left on her desk, she named her uncle, Alfric Aulian as "Lord of the Union", a title of regency until her return. Delta did not return until 159 TE, after a trip to the south. In the Diary of Niurel of Aurica is revealed that Delta travelled to Motu following her departure from Nidaros. She then met with Niurel, one of her closest advisors, and Spatheas, her adoptive son from Porphyropolis.
After her return, Delta called for an Ephorate session in Puerto Amarillo. There, during the spring of the 159 TE, she launched an ultimatum to the Ephors and members of the High Command. Either they voted in favour of beginning a process to turn the Commonwealth into a federation, or she would dissolve the Köntrybund and leave the Autarchy. It is not clear what motivated such a drastic and desperate attempt at the reunification of Drakaes, but the result is well known in the Drakesland. The vote ended in a draw. Half of the Ephorate voted in favour of the integration while the other half opposed it. Delta, as Autarch, could have used her right of tie-breaker and force the union, but the negative of High King Vix of Valreach, made her realise it would be impossible to merge the three countries of the Commonwealth without a civil or even military conflict.
With the arrival of Summer of 159 TE and without the necessary support to apply her agenda in the Drakesaland, Autarch Delta dissolved the Drakaen Köntrybund after fifteen years at its head. Without no political charge left other than the Lordship of Nibury and her duties as Hand of Nidaros, she returned to the east and stayed in the Winter Palace.
====Valrean Civil War====
Following the dissolution of the Drakaen Köntrybund, several foreign entities began ilegally claiming land in the Drakesland, mainly The Legion of Good and Irulan. At the same time, some voices in the Valrean Government, mainly led by High King Vix Aulian, proposed to sign a Vassaldom agreement with the Simulami and join the Empire. Most counts and dukes opposed the idea. Added to the sense of failure of the King towards his negative for unification in the Drakesland, secession movements sprouted all across the realm.
On the fall of 159 TE, Delta's sister and Duchess of Greater Nidaros, Maria Canalopin Reach, cut ties with the Valrean Government and proclaimed herself Queen of the Second Kingdom of Nidaros, claiming half of the lands of the former Nidarosean Kingdom with the support of Frostport and Björgsvin. With the arrival of the new year of 160 TE, the Smegsland, Rannia and Eradios declared independence as well. Delta stayed in the Winter Palace, surrounded by her closest circle and guards, fearing attacks to her person from both any of the factions in the conflict. Since the Princess was last seen in lands of the Duchy of Greater Nidaros, most loyalists to the Valrean Monarchy assumed Delta had joined the rebels. Delta received a letter from the Imperare of Simulami, now overlord of the Valrean Realm, following the treaty signed by Vix. The Emperor proposed to name Delta 'Regent of Drakaes under Simulami', a title with no clear charge nor responsabilities. 
Two moons into 160 TE, she received a letter from Rumpel Olmero, Prime Minister of the Valrean Government, naming her new Prime Minister, for her work in the previous civil conflict in Valreach, during the Holy Drakaen Empire rebellion. She accepted the charge and before travelling to Motu to meet the King again, she talked to her sister and uncle, who supported Maria's claim, and listened to them. After Nidaros, Delta did the same in Eradios, and the Smegsland, where she sat with Björn Moreau, Garoldi Smegsint and Max Zhuteus, who had returned from exile to lead the Smegan rebellion. Delta was welcomed by them all more as an advisor or friend rather than as the Prime Minister of Valreach. Nevertheless, she listened from them the main reason of their rebellion and claims, the discontent and betrayal for King Vix's unilateral and illegal signature of the Vassaldom treaty with the Simulami Empire.
After all these reunions, Delta finally travelled to Motu and met with the Imperare of Simulami himself, Maestro Zeno. She propossed to him a way of saving Valreach from the upcoming conflict and dessolation. Almost every rebel leader would cease their claims and reintegrate back into Valreach upon the abdication of High King Vix and the restructuring of the Kingdom of Valreach into a more decentralised feudal realm. Zeno did not oppose the plan as long as Valreach would stay a vassal of the Simulami Empire for the following years. Afterwards, Delta went to meet his father and Monarch of Valreach, Vix Aulian, for an ultimatum in order to save the Kingdom. Upon hearing the propossal, Vix refused and cursed on the rebels and lords that didn't ratify support for the monarchy. Delta stayed in Motu to lobby and try to convince his father to abdicate in order to keep the Kingdom united. When Delta, during spring of 160 TE, heard that the Imperare and King Vix had signed a deal with Irulan to sell the provinces of the Smegsland and Ilfovia to the Kingdom of Irulan without her approval, Delta left Motu. When King Vix learned she was missing, enraged, stripped Delta of her royal status as heir and Prime Minister of the Realm. Then, he named Delta's brother, Yorg, as Royal Prince of Valreach and heir to the realm.
====Death and Burial====
Delta, from Motu, returned to Nidaros during the spring of the same year. She was welcomed by her sister Maria, who already knew of what had happened in Motu. Delta was formally invited to be part of the Queen's Round Table but she never attended any session. Instead, Delta went to her old house, inherited from her father, at Sea Dragon Street. She spent entire days without leaving and only sometimes she joined her sister and uncle for lunch or dinner.
With the arrival of summer, a Ranger of the city found Delta's body floating on her garden's pond. After having informed Queen Maria, Delta's corpse was brought inside, to her bed, where she was examined by physicians who concluded she had died drowned. They also found residue of Nidaros Special in her mouth, which indicated that she might have been drugged before dying. However, the letter that was found on her desk, addressed to her children, pointed towards a suicide.
The day after Delta's body was found, letters were sent to all the towns and cities across the Drakesland to share the news of the tragedy. Soronaca received the news when he was still on Puerto Amarillo, from the hand of a Nidarosi royal messenger, he addressed all the rebel states and the government of Valreach to organise a burial for his wife. Everyone agreed to have a truce until Delta had been buried. Queen Maria allowed her half-brother Yorg to conduct the funeral for Delta before the year was over. Delta's body was preserved and shown in the stave church of Nidaros until the ceremony.
As Autarch of Drakaes and Patriarch of Soleviel, by the time of her death, her burial attracted a lot of well-known faces from all across the Drakesland and Eldham. Prince Yorg propossed to move the ceremony to Summergrove, where its cathedral would have allowed for everyone to fit, but Queen Maria insisted for the ceremony to take place in Nidaros, where Tiffany had been buried many years earlier. And so, on the fall of 160 TE, the funeral of Autarch Delta Aulian-Drake and Canalopin took place. People like Imperare Zeno Maestro, High King Vix Aulian, Queen Maria Canalopin, Prince Alfric Aulian, Imperilan Soronaca de Poprhyropolis and Lady Daniëlle Kyani, together with other lords of the Drakesland and Delta's family, attende the cermony in Nidaros. Afterwards, the casquet was transported to Nibury, where Nidarosi masons led by Delta's Magistrate, had erected a memorial on her honour. Her burial was, by then, the most attended and commemorated in all of the Drakesland. After everyone had said a final goodbye to the fallen Princess, Patriarch, Autarch, war and dessolation struck the Drakesland.
===Nachtenreikina===
====Resurrection at New Yoake====
Fifteen years after Delta's burial, his uncle and former Lord Regent of the Köntrybund, Alfric Aulian, became King of Regnum Yoake. He had fled Nidaros together with Maria after the defeat of the Nidarosi army in Nidaros on 163 TE. They lived in Alfric's house in New Yoake until the Council of Truth, with Alfric as a member, gave him the sovereignty of Yoake, making him a monarch. Around the same time, an Aurican nobleswoman by the name of Lady Galene Fairfax arrived in New Yoake with the claim of having forseen some terrible future for the Drakesland. She had fled Aurica right before the Kingdom of Amarillo occupied its land. Alfric and Galene married on 179 TE.
Through Galene's dreams influence, King Alfric convinced himself that he had to please both her desires for answers and the call of the Dragon, a mysterious entity that had been influencing the monarch. He intended to use this entity's powers to resurrect a former Autarch. It is unknown what led to the final outcome but, in the year 188 TE, Alfric led an expedition across the Frostbite towards Nibury to unbury Autarch Delta's corpse. That same year, Soronaca de Porphyropolis, then Lord of Nibury and Prince of the Frostbite was conducting a military parade with the Amarillian and Valrean armies in Nibury. Upon discovering his wife's burial place had been disturbed, he gathered a bunch of soldiers and marched towards New Yoake, through the bridge of the Frostbite. The Yoaken forces were about to clash with the Imperilan's army when Delta walked out of the gates, looking at her husband while the Valo-Amarillian force dropped their weapons, amazed by the sight of the fallen Autarch walking among the living, once again.
Many of the details of the ritual that Alfric Aulian conducted to bring her niece and now step-daughter back are a mystery for most, even for Alfric himself. Unsure of the consequences of his own actions and for the following years, he felt miserable. It has to be noted that Delta's nature was transformed in the necromantic process. Not only her looks changed; her hair turned pale like silver and her eyes black like coal. She also became something different. It is believed that the Dragon that influenced both Galene and Alfric used the ritual to get inside of Delta and use her as a vessel for his own will. Delta's true self was still trapped in her own body, rarely being able to control it by herself. She didn't even spoke normally but used some kind of telepathy to comunicate with other people.
That same year of 188 TE saw the rise of the Nachtenreich bon zie Drakeslandes, commonly known as just Nachtenreich. Regnum Yoake, together with the Triarchy of Mordaine joined at its foundation, together with the Holy Lily Isles and other micro nations across the seas. It is unknown what exactly led to the formation of this realm, who would be led by memebrs of the former Yoaken Royal Family and the founder of the nation himself, Pablo Yoaken and Katherine Yoaken. They crowned themselves as Imperina and Imperater and established a feudalistic realm within the Drakesland and their overseas territories. Delta, now under the name of Delta Drake Canalopin, after her family in Yoake had abandoned the Aulian family name, joined the Imperial Council of the Nachtenreich.
====Reestablishing Family Bonds====
When Delta was resurrected, she became a member of the royal family of Regnum Yoake, for being part of House Canalopin. In the castle, she lived with her uncle and sister. Them two had mixed feelings about Delta's return. Alfric felt guilty for bringing her back and Maria panicked when she saw her sister in Yoake for the first time. Maria blamed Delta for Tiffany's death and her return triggered a suicide attempt that Alfric stopped. Delta as cursed as praised among the citizens of Yoake, began to be called "The Rose of the Night" among the populace and "Nachtenreikina", Night's Queen, in Drakaeschlange, by Rotists and Cultists followers of the Dragon. People believe that her undead condition led to this names. However, there are reports of Yoakens who would have seen Princess Delta surrounded by shadows, dancing, hovering on the Party Hall of Yoake. It is well recorded that she visited the Hall often.
Within the castle, there was someone who was more akin to Delta's presence, at least at the begining. Queen Galene Fairfax had been born barely a couple of years before the Valrean Civil War, period in which Delta passed. She was a smiling innocent young lady when she made it to Yoake. Magic and animancy was unknown to her and she was fascinated by the city. "The Dreamer", as she was called by some Yoakens, began to be unconfortable with Delta's presence. It wasn't until Maria's suicide attempt, when Alfric delegated his responsabilities to his wife, when Galene finally approached Delta to seek counsel, around 197 TE.
Delta learned that while she was gone, one of her daughters had migrated to Yoake and had become Fides of King Alfric's Council. During her stay, she concieved two twins, fathered by Lathien Yoaken, former Lord Janus. Lady Jemarii Drake Kyani and Lady Ilara Drake Kyani were born in Puerto Amarillo where they stayed with their aunt, Tania Arilla Kyani, before moving with her mother to Yoake. By Delta's return, however, Sazane and Jemarii had been missing for seven years. Ilara, twenty-four years old, appered to Yoake soon after Delta's resurrection and met her grandmother. Ilara had gone to sleep after being abandoned by her mother and sister and found, in Delta, a motherly figure. Delta adopted her granddaughter as a daughter of her own and Ilara took the Drake Canalopin family name of her mother.
==== War of the Rising Tides====
A decade before Delta was brought back, her husband and King of Amarillo, Soronaca de Poprhyropolis, declared war on Sena Pasifa following his Operation Salema to totally remove the kelp from the Drakaen Sea and restore the sea level back to the original during the early times of Vircon. Two battles were fought, on 182 and 185 TE, on the shores of the Suzukafun, Puerto Amarillo and the waters in between. The first battle ended with a victory for the Amarillian coalition, with the retreat of the Pasifan troops to the southern districts of Suzukafun. But the second battle ended with the raid and bombing of the city of Puerto, which had been evacuated beforehand. The recovery of the Amarillian troops allowed for another attack in Suzukafun, which would take place on 189 TE.
The Amarillian coalition was formed by the Kingdom of Amarillo, the VVR and Limuria, and Regnum Yoake. King Alfric never signed the Treaty of Puerto Amarillo, due to Valreach being a member of the Treaty, but, in order to restore the diplomacy with the sun's realm, he sent Yoaken troops, led by Queen Galene and some members of the kings guard, to the battles of Suzukafun. When Delta was resurrected, she met with Soronaca, who was about to attack New Yoake as retaliation for Delta's grave profanation. Delta took over the command of the Yoaken troops and reinforced them with divisions from other lands of the Nachtenreich. King Soronaca named his wife Military Governor of Amarillo, with executive powers over the Amarillian army.
The Amarillian coalition fully occupied Suzukafun on 189 TE, supported by two mercenary companies that had been partially paid with Yoaken gold. From 189 to 196 TE, the Pasifan city was split in two occupation zones. The northern districts were directly managed by the Kingdom of Amarillo, and the southern ones fell under control of the Nachtenreich, with Princess Delta as Baroness. The fortress was kept as a shared facility for administrative purposes. During the occupation, King Soronaca suffered an attack from Pasifan nationalists. Delta herself jumped to block the attack with Kalkrage, her dagger. 
====The Darkest Night ====
Following the surrender of the Senan of Pasifa, Jalhike Rokalim, and the return of Suzukafun to the defeated nation, Amarillo and the Nachtenreich began developing close ties. Amarillo had taken loans from the Canalopin Royal Family and with the war reparations imposed on Pasifa, the money began flowing back to Yoake. With the Treaty of Romantello, signed in summer of 196 TE, Pasifa finally accepted the Amarillian terms for a lowering of the sea level in the Drakaen Sea.
For the next three years, Delta and her daughter Ilara began looking for a way to revert the kelp's damage on the Drakaen Sea. They spent countless hours in the Castle's Library in Yoake, containing the book collection of the former Royal family. A lot of hidden knowledge and arcane powers lied down there. When they finally came up with a solution, they called the Royal authorities of Amarillo and other allied nations with the following letter:(...) The Night has awakened forgotten entities from their sleep. (...) From Yoake, we must review our greatest milestones and learn from them. It is now that we shall summon once more the powers of the Moon and sacrifice ourselves to lower The Tide. (...) The Banishment of the Sun almost killed an entire race. Now, the Darkest Night must save us from the mistakes of many men.And so, during the winter of 200 TE, 111 years later the Yoaken Royal Family had stolen the sun, people from all around the Drakesland gathered. Delta conducted a ritual, with Ilara's aid, in the Chamber of the Banishment of the Sun beneath the Party Hall of New Yoake. Delta used three items of great power to summon the powers of the Moon: Lady Von's Soul lamp, where half of her soul was trapped, Von's flesh and Von's frozen blood. The ritual had the intention to use the gravitational pull of the moon to lower the high tide, by alligning it properly against the sea. Delta and Ilara, however, had one more hidden intention. In the library of the castle they learned more of the lost city of Volas Lunam, which had been built over the Sea of Refuge, in the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire. The city was over ninety years old but nothing had been heard about it for the last decades. Princess Delta and Duchess Ilara then decided to try summon the city above the Frostbitten Sea, by the coast of Yoake. With the ritual known as "The Darkest Night", mentioned earier, they ahieved all their objectives. The City appeared and was occupied by Regnum Yoake, and the Drakaen Sea was restored to its original level.
====Rise to Imperina====
Barely some months before the apperance and occupation of Volas Lunam, news reached New Yoake of the abdication of Imperina Katherine to the throne of the Nachtenreich. In the letter written by her, she stated how the Imperial family had grown distant of the territories of the Nachtenreich and their policies. That was probably due to the ongoing negotiations between the Imperial Council and the Kingdom of Amarillo to explore the options of a union between their realms. Most of the Nachtenreich's population lived in Mordaine and Yoake, with a notable pan-drakaen sentiment. The rest of holdings left, together with the Imperina, during the spring of 199 TE. 
Delta sent messengers to gather the Imperial Electors and Council to New Yoake. There, during the summer, they followed the First Imprial Decree of the Nachtenreich which, among establishing the basis of the Realm's law, it established the procedures for the election of a new head of state. The vote began already in autumn, when with an unanimous vote, all electors supported Delta's candidature to the Imperial seat. After the ritual of the Darkest Night and taking the chance that many members of the nobility from all around the Drakesland were present in New Yoake, Delta was crowned as Imperina of the Nachtenreich by King Knarr of the Mordish, who gave her a scepter of gold and King Alfric Canalopin, who put a silver crown with rubies on her head. 
Her rule began with successes like the mentioned occupation of Volas Lunam and the declaration of victory over the kelp by King Soronaca. As Consort Queen of Amarillo and also Imperina of the Nachtenreich, Delta took over the negotiations for the union. For the following two years, many meetings were held between the Imperial Council of the Nachtenreich and the Government of Amarillo, then led by Delta's grandson, Lennard Osri-Poliorcetes, son of King Kawaii I of Takavia and former of Amarillo and Queen Ryuu I of the Arthholds. In the discussions, two main factions formed: Those that wanted to make a pan-drakaen union out of the merge, with new and reformed institutions, mainly led by Delta and Lennard, and those that wanted to keep the Amarillian institutions and just integrate the territories of the Nachtenreich within Amarillo, mainly represented by King Soronaca and King Knarr. 
==== Midnight War ====
The divide over the future union provoked a pro-Amarillian uprising led by King Knarr I in the city of Urubia on 201 TE. The uprising had the intention to put pressure on the government of the Nachtenreich for better terms in the unification. Imperina Delta sailed to Torham, north of Urubia, with most of the Yoaken army, together with Duchess Ilara and King Alfric. They got reunited there with the armies of King Osric I of Torham and Amarillian Drakaenist volunteers led by Lennard Poliorcetes. After a war council in Rennith, it was decided for the main body of the army to march to the ancient stronghold of Seeburg, a star-fortress, by the times of the Midnight war. There, they would stop the advance of the rebels, who wanted to liberate the entirety of Mordaine. 
In autumn of 201 TE, the Siege of Seeberg took place. The nachtengurin expected an alongated assault, where they could then bring the rest of the troops from Rennith and get the rebels from two sides. The Yoaken musketeers held the fort for hours with their superior arm fire. The lack of siege weapons in the rebel side brought confidence to the loyalists. However, while a horde of Mordish soldiers concentrated in front of the main gates, in order to storm them, several others inflitrated from the northern wall into the main keep and opened the gates. Melee fights sprouted all around the fort. Delta gave the order to retreat back to Rennith in order to regroup with the Amarillian volunteers and the rest of the Nachtenreich's army. Through a corridor opened to the east, most of the Yoaken troops evacuated the fort, having to leave most of their valued gunpowder behind. 
By winter of 202 TE, the remaining forces of the Nachtenreich grouped back in Rennith. Soon after, the Mordish army arrived. They had split to also occupy Takavia and keep the western lands of Torham. Delta and Osric Varan defended the many layers of gates and walls of Rennith until the rebels, with the Yoaken gunpowder taken in Rennith, managed to get into the city, where a bloodshed followed with crossfire from every street and building. Not used to the chaos of a urban battle, mainly due to the rebels being, mostly, civilian militias, the Mordish threw a retreat out of Rennith and went back to Urubia, also abandoning the campaign in Takavia and leaving the fort of Seeburg. 
====Twilight Empire of Amarillo====
Delta's personal relationship with the King of Amarillo, as well as the recent collaboration between the Nachtenreich and the Amarillian Kingdom, led to negotiations to consider a merge between the states. These talks and negotiations date back as far as the year 197 TE, however, it wasn't until the year 202 TE that the union materialised.
The Consort Queen of Amarillo was the main instigator of the negoatiations, supported by her dauhgter, and Lady of Puerta Zoalla, Tania Arilla Kyani, and her grandson and Prime Minister of Amarillo, Lennard Poliorcetes. Delta had the allowance but not much support from Imperina Katherine Yoaken of the Nachtenreich. Who was informed of everything that had been taking place in the negotiations but did not engage in those. In the negotiations there were also the main Electors of the Realm, from most skeptical to least, the Kings of Yoake, Mordia and Takavia. Either way, the three were mostly favorable on a merge of any kind. Last but not least, Delta's husband and King of Amarillo, Soronaca de Poprhyropolis, who was quite skeptical about the merge but was collaborative, still.
The first and main issue that was talked in the negotiations is the type of union that should take place. While Delta propossed a merge both entities into a new different one, some members thought the Nachtenreich should become a territory integrated into Amarillo. The second issue, having decided that a new state would be formed but taking the legitimacy and continuity of the Kingdom of Amarillo, was the political system. The Nachtenreich was a feudal aristocratic realm, with little to none democratic mechanisms, where the power relied on the Imperial Council, led by Delta herself, and the different Monarchs of the Kingdoms wihtin the Realm. Amarillo, however, was a constitutional parliamentary monarchy with meny democratic elements and a proper separation of powers. Both systems were far apart from each other, and the consensus was to create a hybrid system that merged elements like the Amarillian democratic parliament and the Nachtenreich's aristocratic advisory council.
The discussion on who should be the head of this new state was avoided by most of the members present in the negotiations, knowing it could open an aggressive debate with a chance to blow up the negotiations. It was assumed some kind of Diarchy would be established, with Soronaca as a member for his rule over Amarillo. For the Nachtenreich, the electors began pointing towards an alternative to the, then, current Imperina, Katherine, who they accused of inability to manage and keep united her realm. Most members assumed Delta would take over sooner or later and she would occupy a seat in the Diarchy with Soronaca. These ideas and accusations, even if only verbal, made Katherine abdicate from the Imperial Crown of the Nachtenreich on 199 TE. Delta then would become Imperina, after an election, and she would lead the negotiations.
After years of talks and meetings, in winter of 202 TE, the Mandate of the Twilight Empire of Amarillo, carta magna of the new state, was signed and announced. With it, Soronaca became Imperater of the Empire, with Delta as Imperina to his side. The first role had more executive power than the latter, ensuring a superiority of the Amarillian Kingdom and its legacy over the other territories.
====Dissolution and Disappearance====
Despite her crucial role as Imeprina of the Twilight Empire of Amarillo, Delta did not spend much time in the capital cities of Puerto Amarillo and Varasopolis. In fact, the crisis between the Realm with the Empire of Simulami and Valreach led to the state's dissolution on 203 TE. The first tensions between the remaining Drakaen nations and the Valo-Simulamii Empires had begun since Delta had been brought back. Many ultimatums, threats and offenses, fueled by a hate towards the former Princess and her family of the House of Canalopin led to Valreach and Simulami to extort Regnum Yoake to pay over 3.000.000$ to them.
With the formation of the Twilight Empire, a new ultimatum was sent, where Valreach, claiming Delta had usurped the throne of the Nachtenreich from Katherine Yoaken. They also claimed Valreach had forbidden Delta from becoming head of state and that, together with King Alfric, they had stolen Regnum Yoake from the Yoaken family. While those claims were poorly backed by Valreach, the threat of war was enough for the Imperial Council of the Twilight Empire, manily led by Tania Arilla Kyani, Delta's daughter, to seek a peaceful end of the hostilities. Initially, Valreach demands were centered on Yoake and the Amarillian lands of Aurica, however, once Imperater Soronaca himself joined the negotiations, all Amarillian core territory was out of the table. The negotiations concluded with the Treaty of Varasopolis, with the following terms:
* The two sides being Amarillo and Simulami-Valreach must never oppose each other in conflict.
* The region of former Aurica stays under Amarillian rule.
* The Twilight Empire dissolves into:
** Amarillo with all their holdings
** The Nachtenreich, which would to be dissolved into Mordaine and Regnum Yoake, with Mordaine dissolving further into its three kingdoms; Takavia, Torham, and Tir Mordia.
* Valreach annexes all Yoaken holdings across Eldham with the recognition of Amarillo.
* Imperina Delta D. Canalopin, King Alfric Canalopin and Princess Maria Canalopin will be permanently exiled of Drakaes / The DrakeslandIn the original treaty it stated, instead: The following individuals are removed from all Amarillo and affected Drakaes-held positions, and are exiled permanently: Player Delta, DJ and Mastertiff. Since it is an instance where players are mentioned in a supposidly in-game and in-lore document, it has been modified for the main body of this page.. 
The treaty placed the Nachtenreich, Yoake and Delta as the agressors in the diplomatic crisis, taking any responsability from Amarillo away. It also defined Simulami and Valreach as receivers or victims. It was signed by Soronaca de Porphyropolis, who would stay as Emperor of Amarillo under a new order, Lennard Poliorcetes, Prime Minister of Amarillo, who would step down ashamed for his participation in the foul peace, and Vice-Prime Minister Tania Arilla Kyani, main perpetrator of the Treaty who would step up as Prime Minister and receive a Medal as a Knight of the Legion of Honour for her involvement in the negotiations and peace.
During the fall of 202 TE and the following year of 203 TE, Imperina Delta stayed in Yoake, knowing she faced a difficult situation. When the news came of the negotiations of Varasopolis, Delta and King Alfric decided to meet with an ambassador of the Crownlands of Ashai, a rising power led by an ally and friend of Yoake, Garrison Gargoyle. In an attempt to save the Yoaken heritage from falling into the hands of Valreach and Simulami, they signed an agreement to join Ashai as an integrated province. The Treaty of New Yoake of the Integration into Ashai was followed by a final dennouncement of Valreach and Simulami before all of Eldham.
Nevertheless, Valreach was firm on their will to invade the Yoaken kingdom. The Crownlands of Ashai did not want to have a military conflict with Simulami so they dropped their rightful claim on the Island of Yoake. When news reached Yoake, chaos took over the city. The Royal family knew their last attempt to prevail had failed and that they had no more options than facing the invader or exile. Lady Ilara, who was still in Yoake, used one of her many magic artifacts to put Delta to sleep and take her to a safe place. However, Maria Canalopin, who had refused to go with Alfric and Galene to exile, took Delta's body after finding her deedless, together with the remains of the Autarchs Galene had brought from Aurica. The wherabouts of Delta's remains for the following century are unknown but it is safe to assume Delta was kept by Maria, for some macabre and unexplicable reason, all the way to Maria's passing, where Delta's body was probably kept in the Canalopin family pantheon of the Drakeskeep of Varasopolis.
