Fanira Dragonblood

Fanira Dragonblood is the current Empress of the Vortigen Empire, and elder sister of Sigurd Dragonblood.

Description
The party have not met the Empress thus far, and therefore don't have any idea what she looks like.

Personality
The Empress is said to be just as strict as her father, Tharos, but without the brutality. She has been trying to make reparations for her fathers actions, while at the same time keeping a strong grip on power.

Abilities
Outside of the Empire, little is known about the Empress' own abilities. She is known as the "Inferno Empress" but whether she uses fire magic, a fire based weapon, or the title describes the title describes her personality is unclear.

Ascension to the Throne
After her father died 5 years ago, Fanira (as the eldest offspring) took the throne. One of her first acts was to entirely relinquish imperial rule from Shento, who'd suffered the most from Tharos' conquest. Fanira wants to bring about better nations with other countries, while also keeping a dominant position both in her own country and abroad.

As the historian of the party, Gym would have heard various stories about her, but without going to Vortigen itself he has little solid evidence to back it up. One would be that she is a dragon in human form, another that she had a hand in her father's death. It's possible these were started by prominent Vortigen nobles to discredit her.

War in Rixha
Vortigen is currently at war in the country of Tellarthis, on the eastern continent of Rixha. Tellarthis was originally settled by Vortigen colonists around a decade ago, but nothing else notable happened until 3 years ago, when they started fighting Thri-keen, a race of insect-like people with psychic powers. A section of the Royal Army and the Wings were sent to help, with the Empress leading them. While she was away her brother, Prince Sigurd Dragonblood, has been running the country.

Now, the war appears to be all but won. Fanira has returned to Gorynych with a successful war under her belt after only 5 years of rule.
