#### Queen Aminiah I (SI002 - SI078)

(SI027 - SI074) Queen Aminiah I was the first queen of the mew kingdom, leading the kingdom to prosperity. Queen Aminiah I reigned for 47 years, from SI027 to SI074 She was the daughter of a blacksmith and a armor decorated, which lead her to the goal of becoming a warrior. Aminiah joined the war efforts in SI024, defending her people while not harming any of the ‘enemies’. Her sister left during the war to Aurantiaco and came back as a princess, as Aminaih was crowned queen in SI027, at age 25. Her reign lasted 47 years, ending in her resignation, handing the throne to her daughter. The first queen of the kingdom passed quietly at rest in a calm morning in SI078, at the age of 76. She is remembered as a kind and powerful faery, and is still cared about by her people, even though they never knew her in her time.

#### Queen Daenestra (SI033 - SI097)

(SI074 - SI091) Queen Daenstra was the daughter of Queen Aminiah I, born in SI033. She had a simple childhood, spending most of her time in House Lobelia while the Palace of Meridiem was being constructed. As a result of her mother reigning for such a long time, Daenestra was crowned when she was 41, after Queen Aminiah I resined the crown. Queen Daenestra’s daughter, Elbereth, was born on a bright sunrise in SI061, and was the light of Daenestra’s world. Unfortunately Queen Daenestra fell ill in SI097, resulting in her passing at the age of 64.

#### Queen Elbereth (SI061 - SI122)

(SI091 - SI119) Queen Elbereth was born in SI061 from Queen Daenestra’s blessings and lived a large part of her childhood in the Palace, forced to stay there for her saftey as orded by the Queen Grandmother, Aminiah. As a result of this, Queen Elbereth ordered the construction of the Great Walls in SI094, three years after her coronation in SI091 at 30 years of age. These Great Walls were and still are one of the greatest achievements by the queens, and they still stand at the present over 300 years later. Since she spent a lot of time in the Palace during her younger years, Queen Elbereth had a pretty close relationship with her grandmother, often listening to her stories very intently. Queen Elbereth lived a healthy life, passing in her sleep at age 61 in SI122, three years after she gave the throne up to her daughter, Datura.

#### Queen Datura (SI089 - SI156)

(SI119 - SI139) Queen Datura, the daughter of Queen Elbereth, was born on a cheery sunrise in SI089. She was the first royal to be born before her mother became queen, something that would only happen again once. Datura had lived a relatively ordinary and peaceful life, and was crowned when her mother abdicated the throne in SI119, making her the fourth queen at age 30. Queen Datura didn’t make many too great changes to the kingdom, but she did implement the royal regulation of only having one daughter. She made this regulation as a result of past three queens only having one child, a daughter, so the kingdom may be ruled souly by queens. A few years after this rule was implemented, Datura had a daughter of her own in SI121.

#### Queen Aminiah II (SI121 - SI161)

(SI139 - SI161) (17 when crowned. Historian, dies at fourty cause of a illness. Lived a very short life, thrown into ruling too young, but made the most of it, youngest queen.

#### Queen Aminiah III (ZO106 - ZO164)
