Personal history
Imra's early life in Farraige was marked by the challenges of being a noble bastard. Her mother, a lady of the court, never revealed the identity of Imra's father, which cast a shadow over her early years. However, Imra's resilience and keen intellect quickly set her apart. She received an education that rivaled that of her legitimate peers, excelling in diplomacy, languages, and the arts.
Imra's fortunes changed when she caught the eye of King Elvar of Farraige during a court dance. Impressed by her wit and beauty, Elvar proposed marriage, seeing in her not just a consort but a strategic partner who could strengthen his familial links with the dissolved Kingdom of Lorintha. The marriage was met with some resistance due to her status, but Elvar's determination and Imra's ability to win over the Farraigian court silenced most critics.
Imra's marriage to King Elvar produced a daughter, Princess Alessia, whom she raised with a blend of affection and discipline. Imra was a guiding force in Alessia's life, shaping her into a woman of strength and resolve. Her relationship with Alessia was close, and she instilled in her daughter the values of loyalty, courage, and the importance of duty.
Queen Imra's death in 158IE marked the end of an era for Farraige. She left behind a kingdom strengthened by her diplomatic efforts and a daughter who would carry forward her legacy. Though born a bastard, Imra's life was a testament to the power of determination and intelligence in overcoming societal limitations. Her legacy lived on through her daughter Alessia, who, despite the tragic end, was a reflection of Imra's indomitable spirit.
