The Valorèin lifespan, while long, does not guarantee easy conception. With the large gaps between fertility cycles and Lesèa's inability to bear a child, [[Lesèa Vêzra Ûrlek|Queen Lesèa]] had begun to think her line would end and the prophecy surrounding her lineage would die. | ||

Drawing upon ancient Kwin'harin knowledge, Volêna prepared a potent fertility agent that utilized rare herbs and alchemical processes. This old remedy finally enabled Lesèa to conceive, and Mêra was born as the long-awaited heiress to the [[First Valorèin Kingdom]]. | ||
Mêra's birth was celebrated across the kingdom, as her arrival marked a symbol of hope and continuity for the royal lineage. Mêra's birth was a moment of great celebration, as she was the long-awaited heiress of the thrones. From a young age, she was trained in both governance and diplomacy. | Mêra's birth was celebrated across the kingdom, as her arrival marked a symbol of hope and continuity for the royal lineage.

The entity left a festering black wound on Lesèa's arm. The corruption spread rapidly, twisting her flesh until her body could no longer endure it. | ||
After the untimely death of Queen Lesèa, Mêra inherited not only her mother's position as heir but also an artifact that would shape her destiny. '''The Dero'bôkar:''' A powerful, dream-based device allowing telepathic memory sharing. This artifact was instrumental in helping Mêra and Merik confront Merik past and heal from his trauma. | After the untimely death of Queen Lesèa, Mêra inherited not only her mother's position as heir but also an artifact that would shape her destiny.

The '''[[Martriach Naa'naetii|Elder Matriarch Naa'naetii]]''' knew that healing would require something drastic.

During this time, Mêra ''boldly rejected'' taboos surrounding courtship and physical affection, embracing her love for Merik even before their binding. Traditional [[Valorèin Courtship]] forbade physical contact before bonding. Yet, as she and Merik grew closer, she began to challenge this restraint. The first time they truly touched, the air between them cracked with tension—their ancestors would have been ''frothing'' at the transgression.
