Personal history

Irisa Athomath was born in 7 BFE in the royal city of Athomathia, the daughter of King Octavius Athomath and Queen Nichole Katie Athomath. Unlike many of her predecessors, Irisa was raised during a time of relative peace, more than a decade after the end of the Alagorian Civil War.

Her parents allowed her a childhood largely untouched by the pressures of courtly obligation. Educated within the palace, she was given room to explore her own interests and spend time away from the burdens of royal expectation.

While her status meant she was never far from public attention, Irisa was not thrust into leadership roles or ceremonial positions early on. Most of her formative years were spent in the gardens, archives, and quiet corners of the palace, with her education balanced between traditional subjects and open-ended learning based on curiosity.

Her connection to her family was close, particularly with her twin brother Leo, with whom she shared much of her private life.

Now recognized as the Virellia of the Everdawn, Irisa Athomath has become an active and increasingly influential figure within the Sapphire Empire. Named heir apparent by Empress Salena, Irisa has not only stepped into the symbolic role of successor but has also begun shouldering meaningful responsibilities within the imperial structure.

She has established a formal court within the Sapphire Palace and has begun hearing petitioners from across the realms—a task typically reserved for sovereign rulers. In addition to her administrative duties, Irisa regularly tours imperial territories, delivers public addresses, and appears at state functions as an official representative of the Crown.

Though her induction into the Sapphire Glaive is understood to be largely ceremonial—a tradition for heirs of the realm—it has further elevated her public stature. Her presence is widely regarded as both stabilizing and aspirational, with many across the Empire viewing her as a clear symbol of continuity and conscience.

Behind closed doors, Irisa is increasingly involved in state matters, included in strategic briefings, diplomatic affairs, and legislative reviews.

Education

Irisa Athomath received a traditional royal education within the then Palace of Athomathia, covering law, rhetoric, realm history, and the foundational workings of government. She was educated by palace-appointed tutors from a young age, with her curriculum shaped to prepare her for public service as heir to the throne.

At the age of eleven, after being assessed for magical sensitivity, Irisa was granted approval by Empress Salena to begin formal training in magic. Her instruction was overseen by Corodulain Vaelthorn, who served as her personal mentor in the Weave before his role in the assissnation and kidnapping attempt of the Imperial family.

Irisa balanced her arcane studies with continued education in governance and diplomacy. By her mid-teens, she was regularly present at court, and had begun taking on increasingly visible roles in public and state events.

Mental Trauma

Though Irisa Athomath is known for her composed public demeanor and dedication to duty, her early life was marked by a series of highly publicized traumatic events that have had lasting effects on her reputation and perceived maturity.

Concordia Alagorian Concert Attack (Year 2 BFE):
On the day of her seventh birthday, a coordinated attack occurred during the highly attended Concordia Alagorian concert — a performance meant to celebrate the princess. Amidst the chaos, Irisa was nearly kidnapped on stage but was protected by the pop idol Seraphina Winters. The incident was widely reported across the realms and is believed to have been a key factor in shaping her early security restrictions and public caution.

Death of Father (Year 0 AFE):
King Octavius Athomath, former ruler of Alagor, was killed during the closing stages of the Tournament of the Supreme. The event marked not only a major political transition but a personal loss for Irisa, who was just eight at the time. His death was reportedly caused by a surge of uncontrolled magical energy from Salena Athomath, though no formal blame was ever assigned, The Empress has expressed her remorse in the event.

Attempted Kidnapping During Sapphire Palace Incident (Year 3 AFE):
Irisa was the target of another extraction attempt, orchestrated by rebel forces during a temporary blackout of the palace’s communications systems. While the full details remain classified, it is known that Corodulain Vaelthorn—at the time acting as her instructor—was later implicated. This event is one of the most studied breaches in palace security in Imperial history.

Injury to Brother (Date Unreleased):
A tragic and unexplained event involving her brother, Leo Athomath, resulted in the loss of his dominant arm. While no official details were released, the occurrence has been quietly acknowledged in public circles and is occasionally referenced in discussions surrounding palace internal affairs and rising security tensions at the time.

Despite these events, Irisa has remained a steady and increasingly public figure within the Sapphire Empire. Her continued service and appearances are often regarded as a testament to her resilience and commitment to duty.
