Cerys I

Cerys I, Her Royal Majesty, Rightful Queen of the Kingdom of Lorenthal and The Merciful, is the Queen of the Kingdom of New Lorenthal and the rightful claimant and last of the royal Lorenthalian bloodline. She is the scion of House Byron and succeeded her elder brother, King Aderyn VIII, after his execution at the end of the Lorenthalian Civil War. Though her power is negligent on the mainland, her kingdom within the New Lands holds enough legitimacy to support her claim. She is considered a strong leader and sharp mind, one who will prove a vastly superior ruler to her brother. She was often plagued by her brother's ineptitude during his rule, Lorenthalian law mandating that a male heir comes before a female heir, regardless of age. She often wonders if the war could have been prevented had she taken the throne, avoiding the foolish errors of her brother and leading her Kingdom to greater glory. Regardless, the monumental task of building a force strong enough to re-establish the monarchy in Lorenthal awaits her, and should she fail thousands will have died for no reason.
