Symoon, Sian to most, is the strongest elf of his time. He could have the throne of the strongest empire, have ultimate power, yet he let all of that slip away. Now he has nothing, but the mere sight of him strikes fear in others.
Andrimellorn, Andra to most, was never supposed to rule. A chance at the throne was not taken from her when everything else was, when every elf in her empire died and she was taken prisoner.
Elizabeth Mare, El to most, had none of that. She was the opposite of royalty, a disgrace. A halfbreed, unwanted and when discovered, quickly banished.
