[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 3222847, member: 1231"] [b]Long Live The Quenn[/b] During the coterminous phase of Dolurrh, sometimes a spirit, or number or spirits, will escape and bond with an unborn child, subsuming that soul into its own. By those with knowledge, these planetouched beings are known as fiholtu. Physically indistinguishable from the person that should of been, they can often go undetected for decades if they wish to hide their secret from others. Now, a fiholtu who could shake the foundations of the continent once again and begin a new war has come of age. In a previous life, she was none other than Wroann ir'Wynarn, and remembers what it was like to rule, and dreams of when she will rule again. Wroann is a chaotic neutral female fiholtu enchantress 2/marshall 2, with conjuration and evocation as prohibited schools. After many failed attempts to convince others of her identity with words, she began the study of enchantment, to learn how to [I]force[/I] others to believe in her. As the years go by, she also manages to remember some of her former skills as a leader, and has been using this to add to the ranks of her followers, though they number few at the moment. However, where in her home village she would openly try to convince others that she was truly the former Queen of Breland, now she lures others with promises of wealth and power when she achieves her unnamed goal. Wroann was not the name her new parents gave her, but after leaving home she took it open discovering how many children had been named after her. Why hide it if you did not have to? Also, she looks nothing like her former self. She is attractive enough, but with her plain brown hair, grey eyes and tanned skin, she does not approach her former beauty. But then again, what are illusions and transmutations for? Obviously, the reappearance of Queen Wroann, in any form, could have dire consequences and lead to many different plots, a few of which I will outline: 1. It is well known that none of King Borannel's children are quite fit to rule, and who could be more fit to replace him than Breland's most beloved monarch? Not everyone believes in her true identity, but many who do become rabid supporters of Wroann retaking the throne. Of course, even some who believe she is the Queen returned to the living do not believe she should take back what is no longer hers. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister and his allies in the Swords of Liberty are having an absolute fit. Wroann could easily demolish in a single stroke everything they have worked for their entire lives. 2. Not all family reunions are happy, and a meeting between Wroann and Kaius could result in many plots being undone, or even new plots being formed. It would not take long for Wroann to recognize her brother, and if she were to reveal his identity, it would mean for chaos in Karrnath. Of course, perhaps she would be favourable to that, but who in Khorvaire could possibly make a better coonspirator than her very own brother? Death and rebirth has changed them both, and in each other they may find a way to mutually further their schemes. 3. Having always been sickened by the usurpation of her brother Thalin's kingdom by the theocracy of the Silver Flame, Wroann has a deep and abiding hatred for the new Thrane. In the short term, she might support Aundairs efforts to retake Thaliost, though she has no love for that nation either. Alternately, she would likely devout considerable energy to having Diani crowned, at least until she saw an opportunity to unite Thrane and Breland under the Brelish monarchy. 4. Mishann. The hatred Wroann has for Thrane is but a pale flame compared to how much she loathes her older sister. If she had just stepped down, the entire war could of been avoided, and now her pathetic progeny is trying to make a new home in Breland after having destroying their own homeland. The annihilation of the Cyran remnants is Wroanns highest priority outside of regaining power. 5.
