La Reina
Queendom (technically)
High Priestess: Asenath Tanaquil Ianthe Nicasia (18)
Consort: Valentino Aretas Tahmel Jamari (17)
From the Royal House of Cra'don
In the Matriachy of Thaeris
First of all, thank you very much for letting me join in! I thought I was too late for it all. I had originally placed a question regarding the ages, but since you said it's allowed to be changed, I've edited it so that Asenath is only a year older than her husband.
Thaeris is a matriachal tribe, deep within the dark forests and amongst the wild animals. Their civilisation, built in a clearing in the midst of the rainforest, has always been a peaceful one. Ruled by a succession of High Priestesses, all serving to their goddess Sul'i, Thaeris has successfully evaded the tribal battles, starvation, and problems the surrounding tribes had.
But one day, the High Priestess Nofret was struck ill, along with many of her children who were to rule. The tribe was greatly shocked, more so when their High Priestess suddenly died, along with a good lot of her family. It seems that the house of Cra'don has been poisoned! Both Nofret, her husband, and their two daughters and one son died, leaving only the youngest daughter, Asenath, alive. The tribe knew that there has been a poisoning, and they were very thankful that Asenath survived, despite greatly weakened.
It was only a matter of time before young Asenath was presented to the goddess Sul'i's temple. Dressed in her mother's robes of white, and with the sceptre of Sul'i on her hand, Asenath entered the temple, and emerged again, ready to rule her tribe. However, she had her own fears; besides having lost all of her immediate family, she had never been prepared to rule. What's more, the tribe of Thaeris pressured her to marry a consort, to produce more daughters and keep the line of succession alive.
Reluctantly, Asenath went to find herself a husband. After a long and exhausting process, it was finally secured that the eldest son of a neighbouring (also matriachal) tribe was to be her Consort. Asenath first met Valentino with suspicion - is he not named with the name of the strangers, and not with that of the local tribes? Conversations, cold at first but thawing with time, made the two familiar with each other. Valentino explained that he was named, indeed, after a stranger, who once ventured into his tribe and saved his mother, but he quickly added that they also used to call him Valen to avoid the association with the intervening strangers. Asenath was happy with the explanation, and before long the two were married.
Asenath was still confused, though. There remained a matter of who had poisoned her family, and also matters of her getting pregnant and bearing daugthers. Valen tried his best to appease her anxiety, but both of them were still very young, and both were equally scared as the other.
