Sambryl Heltharn
Sambryl was a skilled wizard, who was often likened to her great-great-great-grandmother, Queen Sambral.
Sambryl was the oldest daughter of King Rilimbrar and Queen Ilbritha. Since the royal couple had no sons, Sambryl was forced to marry her second cousin, Prince Imphras IV, who was the next male heir to the throne. Theirs was a marriage in name only, and it was never consummated. Sambryl "married" Imphras IV in 1336 DR.
When Imphras IV and Rilimbrar both died in a fire in 1338 DR, Sambryl became the regent for a line of boy kings, including Soarimbrar the Younger, Imphras V, and Imbrar II. Queen Sambryl has no taste for the duties of rule. She is a lover of knowledge and finds the tedium of day-to-day politics and formal engagements an absolute bore.
Nevertheless, Impiltur is well-ruled. Sambryl willingly acts as a figurehead, relinquishing her power to the council, the Lords of Imphras II, twelve indirect descendants of Impiltur's noble founder. War-Captains all, each one is known to be of good alignment and all are high level paladins (not less than 11th level). Their leader is Kyrlraun, a 20th level paladin, who advises the Queen on every matter.
