It is becoming apparent, even outside of the Fae Realm, that one of the Fae houses, House Tierian, has continued to spiral further into chaos and anarchy in the absence of its leader, Queen Leanhaun. Queen Leanhaun has been the primary ruler of House Tierian since the untimely death of her first husband, Fiontan Tierian. Aside from the first few years of malcontent, during which the young queen grieved the loss of her beloved husband, her house has thrived under her leadership and has grown both in size and power within the Fae Realm and has even gained support on Magesta proper. However in the last year or so (by Magesta’s reckoning), the members of House Tierian seem have stopped recognizing her authority, which has lead to several deadly and destructive riots within the house.
Those loyal to her have been doing their best to keep the house in working order, including attempting to secure the throne as Regents to Leanhaun- for the betterment of the house they’ve grown to adore. Their efforts unfortunately were no match for the quiet, calculated pique of the Queen, and those that tried met horrific, if seemingly inexplicable, deaths. Many traumatized fae described the scene as gruesome, going into detail over wings and other body parts being carefully and precisely shredded to a point beyond recognition.
It is evident that many members of House Tierian have become more than terrified of their once warm and adoring Queen and have begun to flee the Fae Realm itself. The destabilization of the house is particularly worrisome for many of the Fae who, though considered shylings (fae without ties to a house for one reason or another), were taken in and given full protection under Leanhaun’s rule. The benevolence that the Queen originally showed her subjects has turned dramatically and quickly into apathy and cold mercilessness. Those who have chosen to remain in the Fae Realm have become destructive and violent, throwing much of the Realm into disorder and wreaking uncontrolled havoc in both the Fae Realm and Magesta proper.
Rumors have spread like wildfire throughout the Realm that Leanhaun’s transformation was the result of the removal of her own spirit, while others believe this was going to happen at some point and remain unsurprised at this turn of events. Whatever the case may be, it is clear that Queen Leanhaun has become an unpredictable, cold, and powerful tempest bereft of feeling or caring. Something must be done soon, if not for the Queen, than for House Tierian.
