 +
 +The Noble Queen of Oxtrad, Ruler for a lifeime, Commander through many conflicts, conqueror of the UnderDark. Her list of accolades is long and extravagant yet, the life of Queen grows weary on her mind. \\
 +The Guild Masters of Oxtrad's various regions planning a diplomatic overthrow of thier fair Queen. Under the guise of matramony the Masters setting up possible suitors for the Queen who has only ever brushed their constant advances off. \\ 
 +
 +After news of a new nation declaring independence reached her, Welington's priorities shifted, and in a moment of weakness just before she was headed to Reton she agreed to this sutorship..or at least to attuned.
 +
 +Before the Queen could reach Greyhawk she was set upon by powerful unknown assassins who bested her.
 +
 +The Queen of Oxtrad was struck down however, weather it was fate or luck her draconic soul was resurrected by a Bardic Necromancer within Reton's borders. Raised as an Undead servant within a body compiled of bits and pieces of other unfortunate victims in an effort to create a copy of the Queen of Oxtrad, Unknown to the Necromancer he had indeed summoned the true Queen, yet with little of her memories remaining intact there was no way to confirm at the time.
 +
 +The spitting image of the Queen save a few birth marks in the way of stiches and her lack of draconic form. she serves //Lord Fenrius// to the best of her ability while keeping him out of trouble. \\
 +Not a mindless undead with her own thoughts and feelings but Fenris's word is final and she must obey any command given to her.
 +
 +much of her capabilities were lost but not completely forgotten, and it may be a chance to try something new, evidence of her draconic heritage may spurt up here or there but for now it remains locked deep within her memories.

-Welington stood, Walking to her closet, looking to the front door, Knowing there were the servants waiting to be summoned. The biting chill of Oxtrad's climate hardly noticed by its Queen. She would be dressed with the fine cloths custom tailored for her figure. \\ She was there longer than most women, unable to decide on the best outfit. It was an important day, Important members from another nation were arriving today and she needed to make a good impression. their land had recently come under civil conflict and this would be an opportunity to discuss the future of Oxtrad and Reton. \\ +Welington stood, Walking to her closet, looking to the front door, Knowing there were the servants waiting to be summoned.

-Welington rolled here eyes with a grunt. she knew that voice all too well. one of the guild leaders.

 Enot, Short with a thin mustache, chubby yet his face hugged his skull tightly, A tall powdered wig sat on his head, the one in the middle spoke up after bowing. "So..my Queen, have you given our proposal any thought? we speak for all the guild Masters and agree it is the best course of action." \\ Enot, Short with a thin mustache, chubby yet his face hugged his skull tightly, A tall powdered wig sat on his head, the one in the middle spoke up after bowing.

 Queen of Oxtrad did not enter with trumpets or on her wing beats, But on a conjured steed. Entering with many others through the main gate her appearance drew eyes but not attention. \\ It was early morning, Welington had landed in the mountains several miles away in the night and journeyed down. Reton keep was not far but she wished to see Dragon Hold. This was Welington's very first trip into Reton as Queen. \\ Queen of Oxtrad did not enter with trumpets or on her wing beats, But on a conjured steed.

 Welington thought it would be unwise to make a fuss when arriving, she displayed her Insignia on her shield and steed but did nothing else to demand attention. Welington thought it would be unwise to make a fuss when arriving, she displayed her Insignia on her shield and steed but did nothing else to demand attention.

 +Walking through the crowds she expected someone to recognize her, Anyone? but nobody seemed to look twice. Thinking to herself, perhaps it was a bit much to expect. the people are probably not sure of what their own leader looks like without a fully armed escort and trumpets. How would they know the leaders of other nations? \\
 +Welington was guilty of not visiting every town in Oxtrad and hardly ever made a public appearance in other nations so to expect anything more than this was foolish.
 +
 +Making her way deeper into the city crowds began to thin out. Thinking to herself //"I wonder where I am supposed to meet them? surely they would have a guard or two to show me the way...perhaps I should ask them myself."// \\
 +She dismounted her spectral steed, dismissing the spell causing it to gently vanish like a mist.

 Solomon coughed "Well never the less it is well comforting that Oxtrad's forces will help us take back Greyhawk" there was a pause. before Welington shook her head. //"My apologies King Solomon, But I am not here to aid your blood battle, This is a civil issue and must be handled by your rule alone.

 + 
 +Welington stood tall. //"I don't care, You were placed here from Covania in an Agreement i made with the King. "// 
 + 
 +Welington nodded as she bowed //"with all due respect King Solomon, You are too concerned with what might be. when your focus should be on what will come. I plan to journey to this new nation of Greyhawk and talk with its leaders. i want to know if I am to welcome new allies or prepare for more needless bloodshed.....I am...so tired of war King Solomon...I will do everything in my power to avoid it if i can.."// 
 + 
 +Welington curtsied once again at the door to their estate. //"I apologies I did not bring you the news you wished to here Matilda and Solomon, I am here to support but I will not aid in the murder of more civilians, If it continues there will only be more civil unrest. a more diplomatic solution I feel should be used. However this is your land and you are fit to rule however you wish, i will not go against your efforts."//
