Míra Kûlaron Tetorak
Míra Kûlaron Tetorak was the Princess and later Queen of the Valorèin Empire, remembered as the First Warrior Queen. Shy in her youth yet determined in love, she bound herself to her protector Merek Tetorak through the sacred rite of The Ûlèum, forming a union that defined an era. Together they rose from guardians of a fractured people to rulers who restored the Valorèin after the Elder Valorèin Rebellion.
Míra and Merek became central figures in the war against the Malismorâ, wielding the legendary Blades of Evil's Bane and rallying the Free Species to victory. Rather than kill their enemy, they showed mercy, sealing him in the Depths of Gozog'nok. Their reign ushered in the Heroine's Dynasty, a golden age that endured for more than eighty Lethurèan Millennia. In the end, they ascended together beyond the mortal plane, answering the sacred Call of It'slâmwâ.
Early Life[edit | edit source]
Míra Kûlaron was a Princess of the Valorèin Empire. From her youth she lived under the vigilant protection of her sworn bodyguard, Merek Tetorak, to whom she grew deeply attached. Míra was known for her shyness and spent years attempting to persuade Merek into becoming her Lifemate through the sacred rite of The Ûlèum. She had her parents’ blessing, a cultural requirement, yet Merek long resisted her advances, choosing to sleep on the floor at the end of her bed rather than beside her. In compassion, she made him a soft rug, but he still refused.
After Merek injured his back during a sparring session in the Yard, he finally accepted her invitation to share her bed, unable to sleep on the floor in pain. Míra seized this chance, and they performed The Ûlèum, binding themselves as Lifemates for eternity. She later confessed she had been pursuing him for a quarter of a Lethurèan Century.
Rise to Queenship[edit | edit source]
With their ascension, Míra and Merek bore the burden of guiding their people through peril. Though he remained her protector, Míra herself grew into a formidable warrior. She was mockingly, yet honorifically, styled the First Warrior Queen. Her mother, High Queen Onalêa Kûlaron Velarus, retained senior sovereignty during these years.
Rebellion and Exile[edit | edit source]
The rise of the Malismorâ and the death of her father, High King Lodrik Velarus, plunged the realm into the Elder Valorèin Rebellion. Míra and Merek fled to the Cities in the Stars, escaping the radical movement that swept their people. With The Curse devastating the Empire and nearly all its leadership slain, the pair were chosen to reforge Valorèin society and safeguard its survival.
War against the Malismorâ[edit | edit source]
The couple were entrusted with the Elements of It'slâmwâ. Míra received a ring from Meera Jenlek, enabling direct communion with her. The Solar Smith Hauthen Miltharê forged for them the legendary Blades of Evil's Bane, destined to defeat Malis’ Dark Prophet, the Malismorâ.
They led the Valorèin out of Malisik captivity and restored their shattered worlds. Rallying the Free Species, they brought the war to the Malisik Horde. In the climactic confrontation on the Gozog'nokan Observation Platform, they triumphed. Faced with the pleading Malismorâ, they rejected vengeance, casting him into the Depths of Gozog'nok and sealing the Rift.
Founding of the Heroine’s Dynasty[edit | edit source]
In the war’s aftermath, Míra and Merek established the Shíkû Order, an elite warrior brotherhood, and founded the Heroine's Dynasty, ushering in a golden age of unity and valor. Their reign extended over eighty Lethurèan Millennia, setting the measure of greatness for all generations to come.
Ascension[edit | edit source]
At the end of their reign, they did not die but answered the sacred Call of It'slâmwâ, ascending together peacefully beyond the mortal plane.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
Míra Kûlaron Tetorak remains one of the most celebrated figures of Valorèin history, honored as the First Warrior Queen, the co-founder of the Heroine’s Dynasty, and a paragon of love and leadership.
