Username: Cyrie
King: Airdan Blackfern
Queen: Soora Wolfriver
Of the illustrious Royal House of: Ayen
In the Kingdom of: Tavaraen
Soora comes from a family of wealthy merchants who are very distantly related to the royalty of Ivran. They are in almost the exact middle of the social hierarchy, too high-born to be low class but with not enough status to be nobility. Constantly on the road bringing goods back and forth between cities, they are almost nomadic which adds to the sense that they don't belong anywhere. It is said by many who know them, and many more who know of them, that it is not uncommon for their personalities to reflect this.
Airdan was raised to be the king of Ayen. His parents dedicated his entire life to it. While his younger siblings went about their lives as normally as princes and princesses could, Airdan was kept inside the city walls learning everything he needed to know to become the king. While most boys his age would have resented this sort of upbringing, Airdan did not. He found strategy more fascinating than hunting and reading more entertaining than running.
Airdan and Soora knew each other long before their betrothal, although neither remembers how they first met. Over the years they became good friends, making sure to see each other every time Soora and her family came to Ayen. When it came time for Airdan to choose a bride it was expected he would marry a princess from the line of Navarre or Talseine. Royalty marrying royalty was such a normal thing that the prince who enjoyed learning to be a king more than anything else was the last person to be expected to break the tradition. So when he instead chose his friend Soora it surprised everyone. Everyone except his siblings, that is. They had grown up without constant reminder of tradition and so all but one were more annoyed that Airdan had done something that caused such a large reaction than surprised that he had done it. The oldest of his sisters had always suspected that he and Soora would end up as more than friends someday.
