 +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.
