Queen Diamond

## Background

### 1974 - 1994: Princess Talza

Talza is the daughter of Larnar of House Diamond & Elizora of House Obsidian. House Diamond is one of the major twelve houses of Gemworld, operating as the spiritual center of the realm. House Obsidian was a minor house, encompassing three small islands in the Sea of Balance. The house was unlike the others, acting much more as a democracy & allowing the commoners to have say in how things were run.

When Talza was born into House Diamond, her grandmother Irai was the current head of the house. She possessed the blood power alongside her own uncle, which gave them the power of clairvoyance & the ability to change their body into a diamond form. The uncle soon died a few year later, passing the blood power on to Irai's only son & Talza's father, Prince Larnar.

As Talza was second born child of her father, she was not expected to inherit the throne & insead was to work at her brother's side in some diplomatic capacity. Talza stuck to her studies, becoming widely renowned in politics & government affairs. As she cotninued to advance herself, Talza inherited the blood power from her grandmother at the age of sixteen. Her passing also resulted in Prince Larnar becoming the King of House Diamond.

While Talza made her father proud with her academic success & honing of her skills, it did not stop her from fulfilling her royal duty to wed & have children (which Talza did not care much for). But in her own way to rebel against this rule, she chose to marry a commoner named Reishan. He was the son of a member of her father's court, with the two having been friends for a couple of years.

### 1994 - 1998: Queen Talza

Though the two got married, Talza held off on having children as a way to alleviate her responsibilities. This would not last long as a pandemic struck Gemworld, leaving both her her father & brother incredibly sick. Her brother Omon passed away in his sleep after the plague was around for several months. Now the heir to her throne & her father's health declining, Talza knew she had no choise but to produce an heir. Unfortunately, her father passed away weeks after Omon but not before Talza got to tell him that she was pregnant.

In a short amounf of time, Talza had become Queen & a mother. She welcomed twins Zushan & Hadrane just months after taking the throne. Luckily, the pandemic had subsidied shortly into her reign. She spent the first few months working to rebuild from their losses during the plague & deferred to her husband for much of the childrearing. When she got pregnant the second time, Talza worked to better divide her time as a mother & ruler. She delegated much of the royal tasks to members of her court, leading to her being a well liked ruler by her peers.
