Tanalasta Obarskyr

Tanalasta Obarskyr (known informally as Tanny or Tana ) was the eldest daughter of King Azoun IV and Filfaeril Obarskyr. It was rumoured that she was having a secret romance with Aunadar Bleth. The stereotypical "pampered princess" and damsel-in-distress, Tanalasta was widely known to be a weak and foolish maiden, very much unlike her sister. She grew as a person when she stayed at a Chauntean retreat and embraced the Earthmother's teachings as her own. Tanalasta is notable for being the only member of the Cormyrean royal family to study magic, having mastered the magic missile spell. In death, she left behind her son, Azoun V, and her lover (and the boy's father), Rowan, who became a Ghazneth. At her funeral, she was buried in wizard's robes, her arms wrapped gently around her spellbook.

Appearance
Tanalasta had long dark brown hair and blue eyes.

Possessions
Tanalasta has a hollow metal sphere that, upon spoken command, can transform into a key to unlock a secret vault in the depths of the royal palace. It is one of only five, the others possessed by the king, queen, Vangerdahast and Tanalasta's sister, Alusair.
