Astara I the Vicious


 *  The Birth of a Queen 

Queen Astara was born to a captain in the Imperial Military and her mother was the daughter of a minor noble in the southern half of the Cacetian Empire. Her Hellenian Father and Thesomedian mother would not have been accepted in the capitol so they went south however they couldn't make it to her fathers home so they were forced to give birth in the ruined city of Nironia which had been deserted for 2000 years making her the first born Nironian in 2 millennia. She was raised by her father after her mother died in childbirth and she spent the next 18 years of her life learning the art of war, she became friends with a local village boy named Theseus, and her later husband. She was brought up praising the War God and she began to resent the Thesomedians at a young age due to the brutality of their tax collectors after they beat her father for not paying. However her hatred took form when they killed her father for deserting the army. She spent the next 10 years of her life with her husband Theseus conquering Hellenaei and they did so with her becoming the queen. She was betrayed by her husband and was forced to kill him after a failed coup. Alone with her 2 children she proceeded to rule over Hellenaei with absolution and faith in her beloved War God.
