Ciara Hyland

Queen Ciara Hyland is the ruling monarch of the Elderfall Kingdom within the region of Tosima.

Description
The ruler of the Elderfall Kingdom is a seemingly young and inexperienced Queen who is perceived as well-intentioned and holds herself and people to a high morale expectation. Notably, she has outlawed and fervently opposes acts of vigilantism and demands that any that break the laws of her lands are arrested and brought to trial and given chance to speak their truth.

Having been ruler for only a short time, there is a notable apprehension in her rule, with a strong leaning on her advisors Ludithas and Hrornirr when holding court and overseeing judicial decisions.

Upon meeting the adventurers from the south, she welcomed them into her Kingdom with the understanding that they obey the laws of her lands and respect the expectations she has of her people. She has promised the validity of their settlement upon proving their loyalty, value and character.

Succession
Queen Ciara's rule has begun with great difficulty and strain, being faced with multiple threats within her Kingdom, to which she and her advisors has tasked the southern settlers with aiding, due to their small force that is being spread thinly across the Kingdom as they attempt to tackle more issues than their manpower can handle.

Most notably, is the missing sister of the Queen, Brianna Hyland, whom has gone missing since the coronation of Ciara Hyland. The fear of the Queen is that Brianna has fled in the hopes of bringing about an uprising to place her upon the throne, after narrowly losing the succession vote by the Elders 5 votes to 4.
