Lesèa Vèzra Ûrlek

Queen Lesèa Vêzra Ûrlek was the ruling Queen of Ûblai, wife to King Zûrik Ûrlek, and the mother of Princess Mêra. She was a leader of wisdom, purity, and humility, embodying the teachings of the Mother and Father, who instilled in her the belief that royalty carried an unshakable responsibility.

Even after her tragic death, Lesèa maintained a spiritual connection with Zûrik from It'slâmwâ, waiting at the edge of the Star. However, her continued bond to the living world caused Zûrik's health to gradually deteriorate, drawing him closer to her even as he remained behind for their daughter, Mêra Ûrlek Teslek.

Early Life

Lesèa was born into the prestigious First Valorèin Dynasty, one of the most influential families within the First Valorèin Kingdom. The First Valorèin Dynasty were the direct descendants of the Ancient Heroine. Her parents, Kêta Pakovich Vêzra and Ig'nar Vêzra, raised her alongside her three sisters:

• Lyla Vêzra Aron
• Elinora Vêzra Tuulek
• Kèna Vêzra (Deceased)

Her upbringing was shaped by discipline, faith, and duty, ensuring that she would one day become a just ruler. She was trained in diplomacy, spiritual philosophy, and the ancient arts of Valorèin governance.

Meeting Zûrik

During her early adulthood, Lesèa encountered a young scholar and explorer, Zûrik Ûrlek, while wandering the Palace Grounds. Zûrik had been injured during an expedition to map the southern jungle ruins, and Lesèa tended to his wounds. Their time together kindled an unbreakable connection.

Zûrik, an awkward but devoted scholar, eventually presented Lesèa with his Dero'bôkor, an irreplaceable artifact he had recovered from a Sherok Citadel. This gesture was a symbol of his eternal devotion, and soon after, the two were Bound.

Reign & Legacy

Lesèa ruled alongside Zûrik for over 350 Lethurèan years, fostering peace and prosperity in Ûblai. However, she struggled with infertility for three centuries, unable to conceive a child. It was only through the intervention of Voliina Qyren, the Royal Alchemist, that a solution was found. Using a Qin'harin aphrodisiac and fertility remedy, Lesèa was finally able to conceive, giving birth to Mêra Ûrlek Teslek.

Lesèa and Zûrik raised Mêra to be a confident and inspired heiress, preparing her for the burdens of rule.

The Tragic End

One fateful night, during a midnight excursion beyond the Royal Grounds, Lesèa encountered an entity of a dark nature. The creature attacked her, and though she survived, its corruption blackened her arm. Despite all efforts to purge the affliction, the blackened area spread, corrupting her entire body.

Lesèa succumbed to the dark infection, leaving Mêra motherless and Zûrik broken.

Connection Beyond Death

Even in death, Lesèa maintained her Soul-Tether to Zûrik without causing him to Transcend. For nearly a decade, she communicated with him from It'slâmwâ, urging him to remain for Mêra's sake. However, this spiritual bond caused Zûrik's health to degrade, as his soul was slowly pulled toward the afterlife.

Mêra's Struggle

Following Lesèa's death, Mêra spiraled into self-destruction, consuming vast amounts of alcohol in an attempt to numb her grief. This was nearly fatal, as Valorèin are naturally resistant to toxins, making the amount she consumed lethal even to her physiology.

Concerned for her safety, Lesèa's parents sent Mêra off-world to a Qin'harin Healer, where she was guided through an ancient ritual that brought her to the brink of death. It was in this near-death state that Lesèa appeared before Mêra, offering prophetic knowledge.

Lesèa forbade Mêra from touching her, warning that such contact would instantly kill Zûrik, as his soul was on the threshold of the afterlife. This moment shaped Mêra's destiny, compelling her to return to the mortal world with newfound clarity.

Notable Quotes

• Zûrik on Lesèa's continued presence:

"Even though her body has expired, we have a strong enough connection that, even beyond the star, in It'slâmwâ, she still can communicate with me. She stays at the edge of the Celestial Rift and waits for me."

• Lesèa's warning to Mêra:

"Daughter, you must not touch me. Should you do so, it would sever the last thread holding your father to the mortal realm."
