Queen Saraala Ithal was the first queen of Tethyr.[1]
Relationships[]
Saraala was the eldest daughter of the chieftain of Clan Tarseth of the so-called "barbarian" clans of Tethyr, but her mother was an elf, the daughter of Selanlar of the Tethir tribe, who was allied with the humans against Calimshan. This made Saraala a half-elf.[1]
Saraala fell in love with and married the new king of Tethyr Darrom Ithal of Clan Ithal, becoming the country's first queen.[1]
Darrom and Saraala had two sons and a daughter.[1] The first son was named after his father;[1] the second son was named Silvam.[1][2][3]
Her brother, Amir Tarseth I, became chieftain of Clan Tarseth after her father.[1]
History[]
Saraala married King Darrom in the Year of Bound Branches, −211 DR. Since Saraala was a member of both Clan Tarseth and tribe Tethir, the union helped maintain the unity of the fledgling country.[1]
Saraala bore three children in the first four years of their marriage:[1] first Darrom II,[1] then Silvam in −209 DR,[2][3] and finally a daughter in −207 DR.[2][3] Sadly, little Darrom died from a fever in −206 DR.[1]
In the Year of Stonerising, −200 DR, Clan Bormul finished construction of a palace for the royal family, Ithalyr, located on the coast in the Purple Hills region. The queen moved with the rest of the court from Ithmong to this new location.[1]
In the month of Eleasis of the Year of Larks, −183 DR, her own brother, Chieftain Amir I, became so angry with a decision made by her husband to pacify the elves of the Forest of Tethir that he orchestrated the murder of her husband by teleporting a deepspawn into his throne room.[1]
In −170 DR, during the reign of her son Silvam, Saraala was strongly opposed to his decision to appoint his cousin's wife Zahyra Bardson-Ithal as Tethyr's first court vizera.[4]
