Before she had even reached the age of 20, Raedra was already a figure of great interest to the noble houses of the kingdom. By that time, she had already refused over a dozen marriage proposals, both domestic and foreign, most after only a moment's thought. She maintained that, being a princess whose bloodline was the culmination of the royal lines of Esparin, Tethyr, and ancient Athalantar, she was not a prize to be won by any adventurer or noble. She vowed to only wed a husband worthy or her station, and perhaps her genuine love.
In the , she married Earl Lindon Huntcrown, but the marriage ended only two tendays later when Raedra discovered his allegiance to Shar and ordered Lindon's public execution for treason.
In the , she served as regent for her wounded brother Baerovus and aided him after his recovery and coronation. During the siege of Suzail, she killed a large wyvern disguised as Thauglorimorgorus and fought the army of Thultanthar. After the siege, she succeeded her father Irvel and her brother Baerovus as queen of Cormyr. Raedra was engaged to Aubrin Crownsilver but she dissolved their betrothal before she became queen.
She reigned as her kingdom recovered from the steep cost of the war with Sembia and Netheril. Though the pride of Cormyr's victory over its enemies was still prevalent in the realm's collective consciousness, Queen Raedra drew back from plans to expand its borders.
