Juliora Galienno

Juliora Galienno - born 4924 - is the reigning High Queen of the Grand Commonwealth, and the forty-third High Sovereign to sit upon the Sapphire Throne. She is a member of the House of Galienno, the ruling dynasty of the Commonwealth, and has reigned since 4954.
Her full, formal style is “Her Most Excellent Majesty Juliora of the House of Galienno, by the Grace of the Gods, High Queen of the Grand Commonwealth, Fount of Law and Justice, Protector of the Common Good, Defender of the Holy Faith, and Mistress of the Knightly Orders.”
==History==
She was born in 4924, the eldest and only daughter out of four children to High King Valen III. On Midsummers Eve in 4942, she married Sir Fernos Prelius, a Knight of the Lion, who is three years her senior. They have been married ever since and have three sons, two daughters, seven grandsons, four granddaughters and three great-grandchildren. Sir Fernos became Lord, and later Prince Consort when Juliora succeeded her father. She received her education during her apprenticeship with the Incantrium, and has since risen to the rank of master arcanist. Her eldest grandson, Prince Royal Leoric, is her chosen heir apparent.
==Reputation==
In her forty-one years in power, Juliora has established a reputation as a firm and just woman, who seeks to govern the Commonwealth in accordance with due and honorable law and to ensure that her judgments and proclamations are fair and even. While she is renowned for her mercy and her patience, she is also known to be gifted of a spectacular temper and is capable of great anger if she finds incompetence, malfeasance or abuse of Royal power and assets in her name. Under her reign, the State is respected for the efficiency with which it operates.
Long respected as a cunning and capable diplomat, Juliora is equally skilled at manipulating affairs from behind the scenes and play varying interests of foreign powers and internal groups against one another to the Commonwealth’s advantage. Her diplomacy and manipulations alike have continued the stability of the continent and helped to preserve the political balance. She is gifted of a sharp, dry wit and a wry sense of humor, with a penchant for biting sarcasm when the mood strikes her.
Likewise, while considered just and merciful, Juliora also has built a reputation for being decisive, capable of harsh action whenever she feels it necessary. It is said that while she never has served in a military capacity, she has the will of a seasoned general and the competent style of a long-serving administrator. She has suppressed several conspiracies against the Commonwealth, and has likewise put down numerous disputes and other internal troubles between various opposed groups vying against one another for the favour of the State. Even the most experienced nobles and battle-hardened generals rightly fear her displeasure.
Among the many high sovereigns that have led the Grand Commonwealth, Juliora is considered one of the greatest.
