People

Ruler

The Queen of Medeira is Majera d’Aguira. She is known as the Iron Lady because she is usually seen wearing a breastplate and a longsword in public. Her parents died when she was young and her uncle became regent to rule in her place until she turned 18. When she came of age, her uncle refused to hand over power to her. Challenging him to a duel, she won, losing her eye in the process. She is tall and proud with her black hair starting to turn grey.
