Elisa Kertsen
Elisa Kertsen was a Guntreland revolutionary from the times of the Underground Republic, now revered as a Hero of Guntreland.
Life and Martyrdom
Kertsen was a printer's wife who, taught by the books she read and by her natural morality, composed and printed a proclamation that appealed local district police chiefs to cross over to the Republican side and enabled the then persecuted institutions of the Underground Republic to avoid arrest. After she was discovered, she was executed by the Royalists. She was a mother of nine children.
Legacy
The Orphanage in the Guntrelandian city of Brelsing is named "Citizen Elisa Kertsen". The quill with which Kertsen had written down her famous proclamation before having it printed is solemnly kept in the Immortality Pavillon in Eustata.
