Personality
Background
History
A decade ago, when Flos launched his invasion from Chandrar, he send Queravia with an army, sailing to Baleros.
There she planted the King of Destruction’s banner and challenged all the companies of Baleros. By herself, with only a single army, an advancing force and she held that ground.
When her King's fleets neared and it seemed as though Queravia would receive aid, one last force gathered to defeat her. Niers, the second-in-command of the Forgotten Wing, brought together every company from the marshy cities to the eastern ports and as he shouted at the [Captains] and commanders gathered before him, he raised a banner and they followed him to launch an assault on her position. On that day the two greatest [Strategists] in the world clashed.
Queravia lost, and as she laying on the ground, she laughed at Niers, laughed as her dice fell one last time. She said something to Niers, before dying.[1]
