Gwendolyn ap Numaness
Queen Gwendolyn ap Numaness
Queen Gwendolyn inherited her fathers throne at a time when Swynfaredian house rivalries were at a fever pitch.
She hoped that creating a clear external enemy would help avert a civil war, so she engineer a fairly flimsy cassus bellum to invade the land of Fumaya. Ideally she wants to make sure her strongest supporters get the dragon's share of the conquered Fumayan land and her rivals can perhaps die on the battlefield.
Mental characteristics
Education
The best tutors Swynfaredia can provide.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Gwendolyn is a competent administrator and is a Master Transmuter.
Failures & Embarrassments
Her two eldest children are squibs who by all accounts hate her guts. Her third eldest child could very turn out to be a squib too.
Personality Characteristics
Personality Quirks
Generally she is an even handed ruler and favors subtlety but she cannot resist showing off her great skill in Transmutation making gratuitous magical entrances when traveling short distances and using polymorph magic to punish criminals.
Given her faculty with flying spells, Queen Gwendolyn has refused to name anyone the Dragon's Wing and she proudly wears the badge of that office herself.
Social
Family Ties
The queen has five children, three daughters and two sons. The eldest two daughters are clearly squibs. The eldest daughter opted to take a few thousand gold pieces and left the country and renounced her family name. The second eldest joined the Children
The other three children are two young to tell if their dragon blood bred true, but her eldest son, the second youngest is showing signs of being an early bloomer for sorcery and is thus the family's golden child.
Religious Views
Nonreligious, but she will make token public displays piety for political or image related reasons.
