Important People

The Empress - Empress Virsu-Aganthra I, whose true name is Arvani Dasal, is a half-elf warrior and former adventurer who can trace her bloodline back to the last Emperor of the Third Empire. She led the quest fifty years ago to unite the disparate nations and kingdoms of Artan into a cohesive whole to combat an invasion from an adjacent universe. She didn't do this alone -- she had the support of her friends and former adventuring comrades, most of whom were given positions of power and influence in her new government. The Empress is still hale and hearty, and has no heir yet.
