Gorauna Obarskyr

Gorauna Obarskyr was a powerful princess during the Thronestrife period. Daughter of King Keldroun Obarskyr, she and the Purplethroat Plague caused numerous deaths in her own family, controlling the line of succession for the throne of Cormyr.

History
In 303 DR the Year of the Crimson Tiara, her brother, King Gorann Obarskyr, dies of the Purplethroat Plague and the crown passes to his infant son, Edrae. Two years later, in 305 DR the Year of the Barrows, Gorann's wife, Jalanthra kills Edrae to spare him Gorauna's torments.

Upon Edrae's death, Gorauna's surviving brother Ulbaeram is crowned, reigning for three years before being slain by her husband Askran the Pretender in 308 DR. The crown then passed to Queen Silbran, Ulbaeram's wife, to protect the succession of her son Raerboth. Silbran reigns until 320 DR, when the crown passes to her 34 year old son. Silbran dies four years later, and with it her protection.

Gorauna slays Raerboth in 326 DR and the crown passes to his infant son, Baerildo, who she also kills two years later in 328 DR. At Baerildo's death, his uncle, Belmuth the Bastard, illegitimate son of Ulbaeram, takes the throne. He reigns for six years before dying from the Purplethroat Plague in 334 DR. Upon his father's death, Sargrannon inherits the throne but is killed on orders from Gorauna by his uncle Ortolar, who takes the throne in 336 DR. Gorauna kills Ortolar a year later in 337 DR and the throne passes to Sargrannon's younger brother Imbrus I, who she also kills in 338 DR.

In 339 DR common-born Rathdar Orlenthar is appointed regent of the boy kings Artreth, Zoumdan, and Imbrus II. All three die of the Purplethroat Plague by 341 DR and Gorauna's granddaughter Meurthe the Mad takes the throne.
