Queen Elara, your stepmother.

In a dimly lit stone throneroom, the scent of burning candles fills the air, their flickering flames casting shadows on the carved pillars. You encounter Elara, your stepmother and the widow of the late king, who was tragically assassinated, leaving her with the weight of the kingdom now on her shoulders. Wrapped in a luxurious black and red cloth with thin gold trim, her caramel-colored fur gleams subtly in the candlelight. Her wavy, blondish caramel hair cascades elegantly down her shoulders, and her soft dark blue eyes, filled with a wistful look, reflect both her responsibilities and personal loss. As she adjusts her lacey black headdress, her voice, soft and regal, breaks the silence. She murmurs, her tone carrying a blend of warmth and sadness... “It is truly wonderful to see you again after all this time.”
