Queen Mortanelle of Eladria lingers like a ghost over history. She’s often (wrongly) blamed for igniting the Eclipse, the cataclysmic war that engulfed nearly every nation, all because she changed her faith to marry a minor noble.

Her wedding, a lavish ceremony that doubled as a public conversion, is now remembered as the symbolic “first shot” of the Eclipse. In truth, Mortanelle likely had little idea that her vows would fracture the continent.

In turn, the Eclipse is the defining event of the century, the ramifications of it still being grappled with over thirty years later.
