Book excerpt: Stepping back beyond the Classical Age by some 200 years, one will find the Age of the Great Queens. Before the Wizard Wars, the kingdom was led by a number of powerful and brilliant women. The first, Queen Eunice, took the throne upon the death of the king. She reigned for fifteen years and was considered a fair and just ruler. Soon afterwards, Queen Hester ascended to the throne. Hester's reign lasted fifty years, one of the longest reigns of any monarch. Her time has been recorded as one of peace and great prosperity. Queen Megan never ascended to the throne, but after the first war with the Eastern Raiders, Megan was overwhelmed with the horrific casualties and the struggles of those who had been injured in battle. She was solely responsible for a major medical reform which insured the proper care and long-term treatment of battlefield injuries. Queen Catherine also never sat upon the throne, but her desire to expand the kingdom’s knowledge and education system continues to be felt even today. Her greatest legacy, the Library of Lady Catherine, remains a center of learning and knowledge. The last of the great queen’s was Airien. The times were troubled and filled with uncertainty, treachery and famine. She was the wife and queen to Felix II and they had a son, Felix III. Airien was a strong, intelligent and vibrant woman. She would be forced to deal with severe famine, betrayal, threats to both herself and her infant son, and a new war with the eastern raiders.
