History
One evening she met an hunter from Chrace who called himself Atenithor in a drinking hall near the palace and took him to her bed, discovering to her amusement it was his first time. After introducing him to her father, he gained a job in the kitchens. [1a] Later he gained the favour of Bel Shannar and became a bearer of his seal and although her passion for him waned, he remained a source of gossip about the royal family being able to access areas she was not. However his increasing discretion about the king led to her shifting her affections to one of the guards and the couple splitting amicably. [1b]
Following the expulsion of Malekith from Nagarythe and news that a council was to be held on how to deal with the Cults of Pleasure, she found him alone in the palace gardens and offered to provide some much needed distraction - which he gladly accepted. However they were both awoken by the Steward of the Halls, Hithrin who told them that the Phoenix King was dead. [1c]
Quotes
| I would not like to have such responsibility. Can you image? Trying to decide what to do about all of this? Raising armies and waging wars are not in my nature.
