Areva I

Areva I (3E139-3E182) of House Terra was the seventh Empress of the Sunset Empire. Said to be the most beautiful woman in the world, she inherited a difficult position. Duke Edward Undermoor, having avoided arrest by Wilrich I's knights, launched a rebellion to claim the Sunset Empire for the southerners and himself. Areva sent out the two bastards, Ulrich and Kaarl, to end the rebellion. Kaarl was slain by Edward's top knight,Harald "The Monstrous" in battle, leaving the way to Redrock open. Areva was captured, along with Redrock. Meanwhile, Ulrich had defeated the last Clandon duke in battle, and attacked Redrock. After weeks of fighting, Ulrich captured the city and Edward, but Areva was nowhere to be found. She had been kidnapped by Harald, and brought back to his dungeon. Ulrich led a rescue mission and managed to defeat the Monstrous, but found the Empress had been murdered. With no other members of House Terra still living, Ulrich was legitimized and declared the new Emperor.
