## Biography

*The following is the account of a Royal Scribe charged with chronicling the life of Adela z Eliyawin-Červenliška, Princess of Somaerimosiir.*

#### Birth & Rearing (193 TE)

Adela's birth was an altogether unnatural one. Following the death of **Evzen z Červenliška**, **Erica** would become gripped by grief. Uncertainty surrounded her succession, and instability plagued the **Shirokanezan/Velerian Empire**, **Somaerimosiir's** Overlord at that time. Proving incapable of producing another heir alone, desperation drove her to choose a dark alternative: Blood Magic. Together with her wife **Eliyawin**, **Erica** would perform a ritual and conceive Adela during the Winter of 193 TE (November 6th, 2022) under a full moon. One year later, Adela would be born to **Erica** during the Autumn of 194 TE (November 9th, 2022) under a new moon.

As a child, Adela was sheltered from the public life and always remained close to her mother's side. Often self-isolated due to her sensitive eyesight, Adela nevertheless enjoyed a comfortable and serene childhood at her mother's estate in Sumanay. Everything she learned was through the teaching of both her mothers, and particularly on their trips to the royal court. It was here, at the royal court, that Adela would meet many important figures within **Somaerimosiir** - namely Alyssa Kyani, **Athyers Kommerzzi**, and **Helena** **Mordentus**.

It'd be during one of these visits to **Somaerimosiir 's** royal court that **Helena Mordentus** -- an Unholy Adept of the **Nerco Cult** -- discovered a magical blessing on Adela by **Lady Death**, originating at her conception and birth. Through observing Adela, Helena noticed the child frequently knew things she shouldn't, and deduced she was blessed with foresight. She immediately proceeded to privately reveal this revelation to **Erica**, who'd approve **Helena** secretly training Adela to harness her power. Every visit to the royal court they'd meet, and within several years Adela was shaped into a capable seer.

#### Studies Abroad (219 TE)

Her hunger for knowledge sparked by Helena, it'd be naught much later that Adela would request to study abroad in the **Lorentish Empire** at Lumaire's University. While hesitant, **Erica** ultimately consented to Adela's request under the condition she remained within Lumaire exclusively, not traversing the war-torn continent at large without her permission. Aged twenty-six -- equivalent to thirteen for the Sumari -- Adela would set sail the Winter of 219 TE (February 18th, 2023) for **Rathnir**. Within weeks she arrived at **Lorent** and proceeded to begin her studies immediately.

In Lumaire, Adela would be taught innumerable subjects: history, magic, and statecraft to name several. She was additionally granted leave to visit many of the nearby great cities of **Rathnir**, and experience the varied cultures of the continent. During her stay, she additionally attended a **Luthurn** service and she noted their distinct similarities to the **Nerco Cult**, sparking her many religious postulations. With five years of diligent study, Adela would graduate with a vast comprehension of an array of subjects.

#### Return to Eldham (225 TE)

It was during the Summer of 225 TE (March 16th, 2023) that Adela would receive news of her cousin, Alisa z Červenliška, passing several months prior in the Spring (March 15th, 2023). Her death was brutal and sudden, prompting her return to **Somaerimosiir** to support her mother while she grieved. Yet **Erica** had no wish for her daughter to see her in such a state after years of separation. **Erica** therefore would swiftly appoint Adela the new Lady of Azsomai, over Adela's protests, and task her with revitalizing the city. Despite disappointment over immediately being sent away, Adela started work on the city without delay in accordance with her mother's wishes.

Yet within several years, another loss would occur for both **Erica** and Adela. In an attempt to save her son **Yizawan Eliyawin-Nuwan**, **Eliyawin** would be slain during the Spring of 231 TE (April 8th, 2023). All progress made by Adela in Azsomai was halted, and immediate grief set in upon the arrival of the news. While **Eliyawin**, despite being her second mother, hadn't remained fully present in her life, she was a frequent visitor to the royal court and estate in Sumanay and had showered Adela with affection. She became bedridden and uninterested in everything... even food. This unintentional fast caused an incredibly vivid vision, through which she glimpsed the very death of **Eliyawin**... intensifying her grief. It would be one year afterward that Adela would recover and return to her duties, but despite her efforts to sail a fleet to the aid of **Serys Yinower-Blizun's** Rebellion to avenge her mother in 238 TE (May 6th, 2023), nothing came of these efforts.

#### Sumari Statecraft (TE)

It was after these catastrophes that Adela began her efforts toward statecraft and revitalizing **Somaerimosiir**. First came the construction of Azsomai's towering, deepslate walls, and then the dual-coronation of the Eleanorian Kings **Athyers Nesav Kommerzzi** & **Bluejay Vitelan** was held in the Fall of 246 TE (June 9th, 2023). There Adela swore a blood oath of loyalty on behalf of her mother, her people, and her country to the Realm. These bonds ushered in a short-lived era of prosperity throughout the Sumari heartland, which only increased as the migration of **Antek z Červenliška**, the son of **Evzen z Červenliška** and her nephew, & Camilla of Jurkoir to **Somaerimosiir** in 252 TE (July 3rd, 2023) brought new blood.

This peaceful bliss was short-lived, however. The Fall of 256 TE (July 19th, 2023) rattled trust in Eleanor's leadership when, without the input of the people, their northern provinces of **Irulan** & **Stoneguard** were sold to **Barbossa** & the **Second Uraki Imperium** respectively. A massive uproar was caused, and immediately Adela's faith in the fledgling Eleanorian government was tested. **Sagaists** called for repentance from Eleanor's Kings and Empress, and the residents of the sold-off territories denounced the Empire. It would be less than a year after, however, that Kamuykur Erica would cause **Somaerimosiir** to enter a personal union with Eleanor and form **Iversteiya** in 257 TE (July 22nd, 2023)... for better or worse.

Unfortunately, Adela didn't take long to reach the glass ceiling of her influence in Iversteiya. Despite laying the foundations for the country's government, Adela proved incapable of changing the general disinterest of the Empress in fostering the Union's prosperity, or of counteracting the continued, controversial decisions of its leadership.
