Queen Mardyth, more properly titled Dowager Queen Mardytha I, is ruler of the kingdom she was born and grew up in, a renowned noble of proper birth and upbringing, and a widely-known murderess. She was chosen by the late King Reinwald as his wife, and on their first night of marriage, she most vilely slew him and took his crown. All of the kingdom breathed a sigh of relief that his tyrannical ways had finally been ended, and promptly sentenced her to life imprisonment as their new ruler.
Queen Mardyth is fair, kind, and everything her once-husband failed to be. She grieves for the loss of her potential, the ability to be anything but her people's queen, but is still joyous that King Reinwald's evil has been ended. Untangling the decades of neglect and wickedness which he wrought will take her even longer, but it is the task she set herself. However, the kingdom's coffers are nearly bare, squandered on many vile delights and wicked pasttimes for her husband. How you can use Queen Mardyth in your games: - Queen Mardyth makes an excellent semi-secret patron for a group of good-aligned adventurers. She seeks out people who have an interest in doing good, and although she cannot pay well, there may yet be rewards in the houses of downcast noble families or mercenary companies who served Reinwald. - PCs travelling throuh the kingdom ruled by Queen Mardyth may find it an unusual place, and her particular case a very odd one. Her enemies tell stories of a land ruled ruled by a vile murderer who slew a just king, and though she does not dispute the murder, those around her tell that the circumstances are very different. - Queen Mardyth is still young, and although she has no interest in continuing the crown's hereditary rule over her land, she would not mind finding love herself. A handsome face may catch her eye and perhaps even earn her favour, if they show compassion and a good heart. Also poste on Game Masters Stash on 23 April 2021. Comments are closed.
