Morganae

Queen Morganae Sunderstone

Extremely long-lived and powerful leader of the Mountain Elves. Has been involved in numerous plots, intrigues, and wars.

Origins

Long ago, the dwarves of Rendstone enslaved a group of Wind Elves. Eventually, the elves, under leadership of Morganae, revolted and killed all the dwarves. The dwarves' king was killed by Morganae herself. The Mountain Elves' stronghold in the mountains is named Garnedhren.

Involvement in the Elven-Human War

Her only child (at the time), Rivyn, was supposed to marry Sorril, the daughter of Keirnion the leader of the Forrest Elves. These plans were, however, spoiled when she ran off with Kanton, a human. Rivyn was later killed by Sorril, at which time Morganae withdrew from the Elven-Human war.

Other children

Has killed two of her own children who wished to take her throne. Lenvuc, her son, was Emperor three times (first term beginning in 894 BL) before being killed during his third term. Sidhlot killed one daughter (Anlorahle) on gondola. Sidhlot and Morganae are enemies; he might be her son or a former lover.

Relationship with Shard

With Corik, helped to build Shard. Her design and materials, his land and magic. After the death of Anlorahle in 250 AV, the gondola was closed for 100 years, leading to a decline in trade between Zoluren and Southern Ilithi.

From "Traders Guild History"

"...at the height of the Empire, these merchant families had unrivalled wealth which they sought to maintain through any means. One example that clearly illustrates the power of these families took place during the 5th century BL. From the year 478 BL to roughly 389 BL, trade sanctions were placed on Morganae, supposedly due to her political machinations. In reality this was done to punish her for the negative impact on trade these machinations had rather than any true political motivation."

This took place in 478 BL: Trade sanctions are placed on Morganae, as she is ordered to cease her political meddling.
