![[2image_unknown.png]] - **Race/Class:** Human; Queen of [[Tethyr]], former adventurer and war-hardened sovereign - **Born:** Unknown - **Status:** (*Currently Alive*) - **Alignment:** LN - **Notes:** Crowned Queen of [[Tethyr]] after surviving the realm’s prolonged civil strife and political collapse, she rules as a monarch shaped by hardship, betrayal, and necessity. A former adventurer before ascending the throne, she brought with her a practical understanding of violence, loyalty, and consequence. Her reign is defined by the slow restoration of royal authority, legal reform, and the deliberate curbing of noble excess, often at the cost of personal popularity. Though her rule lacks the warmth of legendary monarchs, Anais is widely regarded as unyielding, pragmatic, and difficult to deceive, respected even by her enemies as a ruler who was broken by chaos and reforged into steel rather than surrender. [[Dio Eldwynair]] learned of her while studying at [[Candlekeep]], her name appearing in sober historical tomes as a former adventurer reforged by civil war into the unyielding queen who dragged [[Tethyr]] back from collapse through law, discipline, and hard-earned resolve.
