## Queen Helga and King Haldvar

Reign: September 1st, 1210 (47) - September 3rd, 1210 (47)

### **Helga Arenallea Visar**

Homeland: Ancient Visar (Later Second Land)

First Official Monarch of Velene

> Best known for her 3-day reign consisting of: Coronation (1), Execution of King Haldvar (2), Abdication (3)
>
>
> Daughter of the leading family of Visar. Acted as a Priestess for many Visari rituals and known to be the most caring and humble of the Visar Nobility. When the Visar tribe regained the Edonic Forest in the Adelian Conflict, Helda (14) entered to investigate her grounds. She found future king Haldvar (20) beaten and tied to a tree. She interpreted this as a sign from the gods (specifically her patroness, Divine Edone Vaasea) that there would soon be peace between the two tribes if she cared for him. She untied him, nursed him back to health, and they married soon thereafter. The day of their coronation, the Saliri chief confronted Helga (41) with Haldvar’s (47) many crimes including robbery, murder, treason/cowardice, etc. and explained that his tribe had left him on that tree to die before the territory was reclaimed. Helga did not entertain Haldvar for the rest of their coronation, as she was appalled by what she had been told. That night, she prayed to Edone to give her clear sight. Upon falling asleep, the queen dreamt of the Edonic Forest with Haldvar’s head stuck on a wooden pike before the trees. The next morning, during her First Address, she announced that he’d be executed by beheading, despite Sovereign Law stating that she must be married to hold the Crown. Haldvar kneeled at her throne and begged for mercy, but she did not show any sign that she was aware of his presence. By sunset, Haldvar was dead and Helda watched with a cold, sure stare. She abdicated willingly the next morning and appointed her sister and brother-in-law, the Duchess Eirunn Vigdis Visar and Sir Ivor Visar the title of Queen and King respectively. 3 years later, she went missing. Legend has it, she walked into the Edonic Forest and never came out.

### **Haldvar Armen Magni**

Homeland: Ancient Saliri (Later Third Land)

First Official Consort of Velene

> Committed many crimes in Ancient Saliri including robbery, murder, treason/cowardice, etc. The Chief of the Saliri Tribe made the executive decision to punish him by tying him to a tree and leaving him for Divine Edone Vaasea, the goddess of Judgement and Justice, to do with him what she willed. When the Visar tribe regained the Edonic Forest, future queen Helga Visar (14) found Haldvar (20) while exploring her ritual grounds and nursed him back to health. After first laying his eyes on Helga, he thought she was beautiful, so he deceived her to have her hand in marriage. The morning of Haldvar’s (47) and Helga’s (41) coronation, the Saliri Tribe’s Chief called for a meeting with the soon-to-be-Queen Helga without his knowledge, and he presented his evidence of Haldvar’s crimes. Helga ignored Haldvar during the Coronation, and he was concerned. The next morning, Helga announced that he would be executed during her First Address. Haldvar fell to her knees after the speech and held her feet, begging her to have mercy on him. Helga did not entertain him, and watched his execution without any expression.
