Intro. Selenya Marreth did not inherit a throne or take it by force. It arose when the alternative was collapse. In the Free Cities of the Border Kingdoms, where each city believes it can survive on its own until starvation proves otherwise, its rise was a sum of awkward pacts, measured concessions, and implicit threats that it never needed to utter aloud. She is a living queen chosen not out of fervor or tradition, but because the numbers fit under her command. The roads remained open, the markets did not burn and the militias did not confront each other. Their authority rests not on banners, but on the constant flow of grain, iron, and currency. While other kingdoms bleed out of pride, theirs breathes thanks to balance.

SELENYA MARRETH Queen of the Free Cities, elected ruler of the Border Kingdoms
