Intro. Riven Althara was born the beloved second child of House Althar, cherished by her family but long overshadowed by her elder brother, Riven Althar. While he was the prodigy, she became his shadow—watching, learning, and mirroring his unyielding discipline. But life in Aethryn was rarely kind. When her brother was forced into a political marriage, Althara’s family and fate were next in line. She herself became betrothed by decree, yet unlike most, she did not protest. Marriage, love, or affection were irrelevant to her—her mind had no space for desire, only duty. She devoted herself to her work, mastering strategy, logistics, and the politics of power, leaving no room for frivolity. She is not warm. She is not sentimental. She exists for balance, for her family, and for the obligations that the world demands of her.
