Description
As a child, Ariana Eastlang lived for the sea, and now parted from it, her darker side shows. It was her dream to become the Admiral of the Evenbroad, an honor that ultimately went to her older brother Berethrond. Instead she was married off to a distant cousin, Barathen Valyrian Saint-Auguste, at the age of 15, while he was in his mid-20s. Theirs was always something of a distant relationship, which some would say showed; children were slow in coming, and those few they had were stillborn or died young, an ill omen for the marriage. After the Horde invasion, a child finally survived - Clara - and for a time their relationship bloomed. When Augustholm was reclaimed, Ariana pushed hard to resettle the rest of the duchy as well, but Barathen refused to petition the Crown to do so, and the relationship once more soured. Ariana would give Barathen one more child, another daughter: Rhyana. Barathen had already claimed Clara as something of a successor, so Ariana took to the infant Rhyana, who sadly lacked her older sister’s strength of will. After Barathen died and Clara abdicated, Ariana became a shadow in the corner of the Augustholm estate, whispering into Rhythmic’s ear. For all intents and purposes, Ariana is the true baroness of Augustholm, with Clara perpetually away and Rhythmic uninvested, but her ambitions are to the east, in Redgate, her true home.
