Life, Death

The ruling house of Aerdy becomes House Rax-Nyrond after the death of Nasran's grandson, Overking Tenmeris, in CY 75.

The ruling house of Aerdy becomes House Rax-Nyrond after the death of Nasran's grandson, Overking Tenmeris, in CY 75. Tenmeris's Queen, Yalranda, was a formidable diplomat and mediator who had done much to support her husband and was the true power behind the throne. Tenmeris, it was said, had a brain as small as his flatulent belly was vast.

Yalranda was accepted as the only Overqueen in Aerdy history because of her prowess in establishing dynastic marriages between the royal houses of Aerdy and her uncanny gift for forging alliances (and because of her strange, magical allure and ability to calm angry or confused nobles). That she died young, at age 40, is one of Aerdy's great tragedies.
