**Theella Elideya Finaltar** was an Euvalian **princess**, Velanese and Zahkr **general**, and Verian **religious symbol** in Zahkarith best known for her **involvement** in the War of Legion. She was **also known** under the names **Typhis Arenallea** and **Nimue Kazdany**. Theella has a long, complicated history of **leadership** and **fleeing spotlight**. After being **captured** by her **son**, Wolverick the Godkiller during the Wrath of the Son, she was **publicly executed** along with her **husband**, Vekarym Gartaan the Unbreakable. **Theella** is **commonly** **described** as one of the **most famous figures** in **Zahkarith** **history**.

## Birth and Early Life

**Theella** was born in Cirnace, Euvalia during the **autumn** of **1513**, the golden years of her parents' reign. She was the **second** **child** of Podasteo Dahrem Finaltar II and Podameya Eleri Finaltar of **Euvalia**. She was **preceded** in birth order by the eldest sister, Gislane Eleri Delreya Finaltar, and followed by the youngest, Biranteya Aesar Finaltar. At the time of **Theella's** **birth**, she was **third** in the **line of succession** to the Euvalian throne, behind her **father** and **older sister**.

### **Childhood**

During her **adolescence** in **Cirnace**, she was known as a **lively child** who got along with most everyone. **Rebellious** towards the **traditional female expectations**, **Theella** was rather **outspoken**, **impulsive**, and **participated** in multiple **sports** against her parents' wishes. Occasionally, the princess would be found in the Euvalian Royal Guards' **Quarters**, the residents of which would enthusiastically **share** their **knowledge** of **strategy** and **survival skills**. It's **assumed** this is where she and **future** Vari Ce-Euvalia Cassius Ingazi initially **grew** **fond** of one another romantically, despite being raised side-by-side.

### **Duties and Education**

**Theella** received an **excellent** **formal** **education** at Academe Ce-Euvalia (Academics of Euvalia), a university located in her home city of **Cirnace**. Here, she learned to **read**, **write**, and **speak** **several** **languages**, including her native language of Cirinac Yengol, Enithi-Kharos (parent language of Enithi) and Enithi-Avaros (parent language of Vuruni and Ather), Fierven Yhizhtai, and Arcadian, a **blossoming** language intended to be used **universally** for **politics** (lingua franca). The **princess** was not formally taught the "common man's" Yengol, also known as Etomic Yengol, but she picked up some **vocabulary** from various **guards** and **servants**.

The **duties** of Euvalian Royalty did not stop to receive an **education**. **Theella** was **expected** to continue her **work** throughout her **studies** which included **public appearances**, the **arrangement of feasts**, and more. Her **main duty** as **Princess of Euvalia** was to **attend** to any and all **events** her elder sister and heir apparent, **Princess Gislane**, was unable to reach. **Theella's** most **famous,** yet **controversial** **appearance** included an **international** **feast** in the Verian Holy Land, Vastaria, after **Gislane** fell ill. Here, Theella befriended **future** **queens** Sissel and Elenor Septivus. Following the **absence** of **Gislane** during this important religious event, **commoners** began supporting **Theella** above the heir and **pressured** **Gislane** to **pass** **on** the **crown**.

## War of Legion (1530-1543)

### **Unity of Gislane and Lasthe**

After she came of age to begin solo engagements, Theella quickly became Neveyah Gislane's sole confidant for most of her troubles. Due to this close connection, she was the first to find out about Gislane's fascination with the Duke of Khoor's son, Lasthe Haemar. Theella did not oppose this attraction, as Gislane was next in line for the Euvalian Crown, and Lasthe was 2nd for the Velanese Imperial Crown, and advised her to speak to their mother, Podameya Eleri Finaltar. Gislane ignored her younger sister's advice and spoke with their father, Podasteo Dahrem II, at a family dinner.

Theella heard nothing of the negotiations made with the Haemar family for Gislane's hand in marriage, and assumed it was a simple financial transaction. She was Gislane's Vare Daphmena (Maid-of-Honor) in their wedding, which took place in Ocira, Vastaria. Here, she once again came into contact with the Septivus sisters.

In Sissel Septivus's journal, it is said that Theella took her responsibilities for her sister's big day very seriously, yet found any moment to steal a few words or glances with one of her guards. This guard is thought to be Cassius Ingazi, the soon-to-be Vari Ce-Euvalia.

### **The Avlan Inferno and Haemar Massacre**

Just months after Gislane's marriage to Lasthe Haemar, Podasteo Dahrem II's plan with the Haemar family was followed through (see: Avlan Inferno). The citizens of Velene were so enraged that they marched upon the Haemar Manor and publicly executed everyone inside, even tearing Gislane's new husband Lasthe limb-from-limb. A week after the incident, the news reached the Euvalian courts and, therefore, Princess Theella.

Three days later, Podasteo Dahrem II was dead, and Princess Theella was nowhere to be found.

### Assassination of King Dahrem II

Upon hearing that her father was responsible for the Avlan Inferno and subsequent murder of her beloved sister, Theella was reportedly withdrawn and avoided any possible communication with servants and family alike. The only person she opened up to was her chief handmaid, Nimue Eredeli (the namesake for her future alias).

Three days after receiving the news of her sister's death, Theella and Nimue snuck into the Podasteo's bedchamber and slit his throat. Nimue assisted Theella in her escape, but was unfortunately caught. She was put on trial for the assassination of Podasteo Dahrem II, found guilty, and revealed Theella's involvement in the crime upon being executed, per the princess's wishes (see: Tirade of Treason). However, Theella had already been ensured safe passage out of the kingdom with help from Cassius Ingazi, a Euvalian soldier and Theella's lover.

### **Amnesia in Arcadia**

The War of Legion began soon after Theella's disappearance. Several years later, Khoorvian travellers on their way to board a ship in Ospar bound for Vastaria found Theella on the outskirts of Arcadia, looking as if she was beaten within an inch of her life. The travellers took her to the healers inside the city. She claimed to not know anything about her past, only the name Typhis. Under this name, Theella remained in the city serving those who healed her, until her loyalties led her to enlist in the Velanese military.

Velanese culture encourages one who has a calling to lead in war to approach the Royal Court in order to receive permission to join the military at a higher rank, rather than join as a rookie soldier and build their way up. Typhis approached twin queens Elenor and Sissel Septivus, and was given the title of Vare Vastaria, an extremely rare rank to be handed out to a newcomer. It is rumored that the queens did not even allow her to argue in their court, and instantly kneeled upon the sight of her, presenting her with the new rank, effective immediately.

Upon arriving in Vastaria, she traveled to Ocira first to meet with the Duchess, and unknowingly drank from the legendary spring.

#### Training

Theella dedicated the standard 5 weeks to training in order to join the military and an added 3 weeks in leadership training. She got through the training with ease due to her previous experience in war strategy back home in Euvalia. During this time, little is known about Theella, as the Vehemian Guard forbade their soldiers from communicating with the outside world until their training was finished. This rule included the prohibition of journal entries.

The only source of Theella known from this time period was from Vevare Elenor Septivus, who later wrote in a court report, "Travelled to our native home of Vehemia, where soon-to-be General Typhis is training. Vevare Sisselia says she looks promising. I trust her."

### Leadership

Theella was known as a courageous and trustworthy leader throughout her Euvalian political career as well as her time as Vare Lisea. Her intelligence and formal education was widely admired, as she could communicate with people across multiple nationalities and exceeded expectations in war strategy. Though she was compassionate about the health and wellness of her soldiers, she was known to be extremely strict during wartime, and expected her soldiers to train hard and prepare for future endeavors while they were at their camps.

Unlike her Buurkarsh counterpart, Vekarym Gartaan the Unbreakable, Theella relied on personal retreat when applicable. In her eyes, she would rather lose a few of her soldiers rather than her soldiers lose a leader. This belief caused a rift between Gartaan and Theella after Theella saved his life in place of five of his soldiers' lives during the Battle of Eradia.

### Religion and Beliefs

Thella was a devout practitioner of the polytheistic Vehemian religion, Verianism, like the rest of her family.

### **Motherhood**

> "My family brings me joy, but I am afraid to admit that I am not happy. [...] Since the birth of my Syvaia, I’ve found it difficult to leave the confines of my troubled mind, and I find it difficult to love her as much as I should, and as much as she deserves." *- Theella in correspondence with former lover Vari Euvali Cassius Ingazi (found in The Finaltar Letters)*
>
>

Theella (under alias Nimue Kazdany) was mother to a son, Wolverick Kazdany, and a daughter, Syvaia Kazdany, with husband Gartaan Vernoemyr (under alias Kazda Kazdany).

Wolverick was born in the final seasons of the War of Legion in Ocira, Vastaria. Theella was incredibly fond of Wolverick for many reasons, one of which being his connection to the golden years of her life. She mentions in multiple letters his relation to the god Menir, progressing as she grew increasingly melancholy, the worst of which hitting after the birth of daughter Syvaia. Even throughout Wolverick's reign during the Wrath of the Son, she did not truly denounce his ways until the murder of Gartaan by Alysian's hand. After having been stabbed, she was seen whispering words into Wolverick's ear. These words never reached any other living being.

Syvaia was born 9th Winter, 1544 AGR, 2 years after her older brother, Wolverick. While Gartaan praised her, Theella developed a resentment for her due to a severe case of postpartum depression. Wolverick followed his mother's ideation of resentment for Syvaia after witnessing what he believed to be favoritism on Gartaan's part.

### **Degradation of Sanity**

The point at which Theella's sanity began degrading cannot be marked by a single event, as she was known to be an unstable child. However, the peak of her insanity was seen in the months leading up to and several years following the birth of daughter Syvaia.

As a child growing up in Royal Euvalia, she did not have the discipline considered normal in her country. Having been the middle child, she was ignored by her family for most of her childhood years, therefore seeking proper attention in those outside her family, such as guards or servants. It became usual for Theella to sneak out of the confines of her bedchamber during the night in order to spend time with the guards. While these rebellious acts weren't necessarily harmful to anyone, it was considered completely out of line for a princess and, when caught, had extremely strict punishments from her caregivers. However, these punishments never stopped her. Out of fear of termination, her caregivers rarely informed the king, King Gerebess II, of her misbehavior. This allowed her to get away with more, including a secret, forbidden relationship with one of her guards, Cassius Ingazi.

This childhood rebellion came to a show-stopping end when Theella discovered her father's involvement in the Avlan Inferno, Velanese Coup, and the subsequent massacre of her sister's newfound family. She became irrationally furious and, blinded by her emotions, she slit his throat. Theella fled the kingdom and was not heard from for many years when she resurfaced under a new alias: Typhis Arenallea.

The next instance of Theella's insanity is exhibited in her relationship with Vice Gartaan the Unbreakable. \_\_\_

## Theella's Letters

### The Finaltar Letters

Throughout Theella's troubled lifetime, she often sought solace from her troubles in writing letters and journal entries. Unfortunately, during the Wrath of the Son, the majority of her personal works were burned along with her home in Nerren following her and Gartaan's abduction, However, a number of letters were found hidden in the family's cellar in a crate meant for their crops. These letters were received from multiple notable people in the history of Zahkarith, such as Vevare Sissel Septivus, sister Queen Aesar Finaltar, former lover Vari Euvali Cassius Ingazi, and few others. This collection was referred to as ***The Finaltar Letters***.

This collection of works later added the letters sent out by Theella herself, and officially ranges from 1527 to her death at 1566.

## Trivia

* Typhis's love interests, Cassius and Gartaan, directly contradict the other's character. While Gartaan can hold his liquor, Cassius cannot. While Gartaan praises Typhis for her skills, Cassius does not. While Gartaan is rugged and street smart, Cassius is proper and book smart.
