Lethalia Neycart

"'It is not my place to pry into Ardorian politics. Lady Neycart has declined every invitation I have sent to her, and refused every meeting I have tried to arranged and somehow has blocked every scrying attempt I have made to peer into the inner workings of her manor at the request of the Sky Queen. For a human, she has gained a commendable knowledge of on the arcane workings of divination.' --Deelah Wynrona, an excerpt from A Century's Reflections, 1004 AE"

Early Life
Many rumors exist of where Lethalia came from, however none of them have been comfirmed. The two most popular tales told of her are sung by the bards of Somar Villa.

The first claims that Lady Neycart is the last the living descendant of a former Sky Queen of Alilnegi who was beheaded for embracing the Four Ascended as gods, and Lethalia fled to Ardorserii where she met Dionar and the two fell in love.

The second tale claims Lethalia Neycart is a bastard child of a high elf and human who moved to Ardor so their love could blossom. This rumor is often said to be false as the few people who have seen Lethalia in person claim she bares no Dorii traits. However, the tale continues to circulate because many people in service to the Neycarts live their entire life never seeing their liege once.
