Personal history
Born in the ancestral home of her family in Lumora, the Crown Princess grew up with two siblings, one of whom died in a flood at the age of 20. This impacted Leswena and inspired her to build more than just canals. Leswena II inhereted the throne from her father, who abidicated to expand the boundaries of the edge of the Feloran Known World. She set about finishing his works, and began plans for canals not just for travel or irrigation, but for flood control.
Accomplishments & Achievements
The construction of the Imperial Court Palace was begun under her reign, designed as a palace for herself as well as an administrative center from which to manage the royal economy. Under her reign, the first long distance canals were completed, first with the Lërd'Til Canal between the two old capitals. She instituted the first civil service examinations, passing into bureaucratic service the ancestors of those who would become the Chilëku. Laws and building codes were standardised across the ancient kingdom under her reign.

Lewsena is referred to in the written record, begun thousands of years later, as the model leader for the Emperor's of the early empire to follow.

These tablets contain tax codes, building plans/methods, and references to her ruling philosophy as immensely reasoned from numerous subjects detailing their experiences at the Palace.
