Queen Nalcena Larethaen

Behind every great man is an even greater woman... unless you are Queen Nalcena Larethaen. Then, your place is always at the side of the King at worst; at best, you will stand in front and lead with a ruthless efficiency that can make even the King take a knee.
Queen Malcena is not a cruel woman, but the long memory of the Elves affords her the time and patience to exact carefully planned and measured revenge against those who wrong her. Her political rivals for the hand of King Melail never stood a chance once she had set her sights on the throne. Any tiny misstep or wrong that they had committed were used like poisoned knives in the dark with an assassin's precision. In two months, 16 noblewomen vying for the King became a very short list of one.
Even the King himself is not spared her scrutiny and pinpoint vengeance. When it was discovered that the King had sired a half-elf bastard son, she did not seek to harm the child or his mother. Instead, she instituted the Bladesinger Bloodoath - the bastard would be trained up in the Bladesinger arts and devote himself to the protection of the Crown Prince. She would not harm a hair on the bastard's head. The Crown Prince, however, was the target of numerous assassination attempts. Furthermore, it was often the way of the Elven nobility to use their Bladesingers as a "civilized" gladiatorial competition as a means of showing off or climbing the social ladders. Harm would find its way no doubt to this bastard's head all on its own, and the King would be powerless to stop it.
